Supercharger - Iowa City, IA

Still has the fence up.

Drove by today and the fence is still up around the install, but you can drive in there. Looks like a big pile of mulch was dropped off recently for nice landscaping. Can’t imagine we’re too far from opening.

Fence down but no power yet.

I was also there yesterday, looks like I must've just missed you lol
I was there a few mins before 3. There was a truck blocking most of that side area...

The meter is installed but doesn't have power yet. If I recall correctly, the energy company turns on the meter and then Tesla's activation team can power up the chargers. If so, timeline is dependent on the power company.

Tesla was onsite today, working on the cabinets. Looks to be close!!!

I fear this will be a problem, like at most charger locations that are in a prominent location at convenience stores/gas stations.

This station is still not ready. Interestingly the cords do command the opening of the charge port. This would point to Tesla needing to complete this station on the backend side (computers).

I stopped by the Walcott SC when it was still inactive but had just gotten the finishing touches and that was the behavior. They opened them like 2 days later.

Is there someone we can call in the event the stalls are iced?

Not to point out the obvious but half those spots are 30 min general parking like other places. I was there last weekend.

 

[oliphant428]

Drove by last night (Wednesday night) and the station was still dark.

 

[GabeIA]

Just checked moments ago the station is still not live. I had hope of it being open in time for Memorial Day traffic.

 

[oliphant428]

As of 7:45am on 5/31 (Tuesday), the station is not yet live. Plug button wouldn't trigger opening of charge port door, but would trigger unlocking of plug from port. As soon as plug was inserted, the Tesla "T" charge status indicator light went out.

Facebook members group said this is live but not in nav yet.

I saw that as well wish they included a picture with that statement.

Are you referring to a post from Monday evening that is now deleted? As I mentioned above, I went there Tuesday morning to check and verified they were not online.

I tried to plug my car in tonight. Still not active as of Monday 6/6.

I was just there this afternoon as well, ditto, nothing.

Also while I was there, one of my door handles failed on my S and I almost had to have it towed... The door handle was stuck constantly "opening" the door which meant I couldn't keep it in drive and it was the passenger rear door so I couldn't sit in the driver seat and keep it closed lol
Finally got it to stop after a few good whacks on the handle...
