Supercharger in Glendive, Montana

[Mjezzi]

I don't think we have any regular riders over that way. I will check progress at the Miles City location tomorrow and see if I can remotely learn anything about Glendive. Is that a Holiday Inn? We can always call the hotel and ask what they know.

Hah, why didn’t I think of that!? I will definitely give them a call. Thanks.

Just talked to Holiday Inn - says crew is back and working on electric.

Thanks for the update!

Wait, what? The Holiday Inn is open and answering the phone?

Yup - a shock. Thought I would try anyway. Maybe Montana hasn't received the news yet.

Took a drive down to Glendive to see the progress.

Looks like no meter, so awaiting elec company hookup.

Yes, and I think 7 more stations. There were metal "x" brackets shoved into the ground for 7 more stations.

It would sure be nice to have more info coming from Tesla on what is the completion target. But hey we have only been waiting since they announced plans in 2015. The climate is changing faster than this energy company.

Hmmm. That 750kVA utility transformer is too small for V3 charging. These must not be V3, or if they are, they will not charge at 250 kW. Yes, I know oil filled pad mounted transformers have a decent overload rating (~25%), but certainly not enough to permit fast charging at each station.

Edit: Are we sure this is not a 4-stall charging location?

Edit More: Yup. Pictures show more than 4. Sorry.

May 9th, 2020 and still no progress!!!

You don't need to spell disappointment you can see it here.

Like Miles City, the Glendive meter is still absent.............from your second picture.

Yes, And unlike MC not all the stations are installed. May be by Thanksgiving. At this rate.

I didn't realize there was only one charging stand yet installed at Glendive. It's somehow though even more frustrating to have all the installations completed and wait months only for turning on the power.

 

[SdyFarmer]

Agreed in triplicate!!! I don't believe Dawson county has even a single case of covid-19 yet or much of eastern Montana.
Richland and Roosevelt had a few cases early on but none since the middle of April.

Two week update on progress at the Glendive SC site. You can refer to my past posted pics to get the general idea. There has been HUGE construction near the sixth station. Alot of earth has been piled quite high given the scale of construction. Some would refer to antidotes to infer a big event for Eastern Montana is approaching. There constructed by an army of workers is an ant Hill nearly 2 two inches high. That and the grass needs to be cut.

 

[SdyFarmer]

"anecdotal" not "antidote" sorry doctor.

 

[SdyFarmer]

Well now something is different. Looks like it will be an eight station charger someday, but not yet.

 

[PACEMD]

Any update on Glendive? The meter has now been installed in Miles City.

Any up dates? Would be nice to travel East before winter, lol.
