[RobertSeattle]

Perhaps they got a partial refund, but look like Tesla spent on $3150 on permitting.

I can't find any indication of Tesla in Issaquah currently. Looked at the Target and Fred Meyer lots as well as Costco and PCC. And I think the best spot would be either the Lowe's parking lot. At the back there are always free spots.

There has been some work happening around at the Fred Meyer site the last two nights. It looks like some electrical wiring is being placed underground. Ill take some pictures next time I swing by.

Awesome! That would certainly shorten my charge in Ellensburg. I'd prefer North Bend/Snoqualmie, but beggars can't be choosers.

I stopped by to look and found location markings in the lot. They indicate buried electrical, CATV/Telephone conduit, and a gas line. I don’t know if this means they will be digging up the area to install electrical or not.

There’s no other indication of construction yet.

 

[MarkBrokeIt]

Isn't there construction in some of the shopping centers closer to the street? I wonder if this is just related to that activity.

QUESTION: Do you not like recharging at Snoqualmie Casino?

QUESTION: Do you not like recharging at Snoqualmie Casino?

It’s a question of wether one wants to spend 30-45 mins supercharging or a few hrs at a casino (could be $$! )

QUESTION: Do you not like recharging at Snoqualmie Casino?

Never been, but my reasoning is for travel on Highway 16 to Tacoma. I would rather not drive into Issaquah, then take I-405 south to Tacoma.

 

[PLUS EV]

The Snoqualmie Casino chargers are GREAT for patrons, but they are not suitable for long range travel. You'd have to stay there for hours to gain anything significant.

Assuming you meant Highway 18, you could charge in Issaquah and then drop straight south on Issaquah-Hobart Road to 18.

You'll also save energy using Issaquah-Hobart road versus Highway 18 since you won't have to climb Tiger Mountain. Plus, it's a lower speed limit and shorter distance than I-405, which saves more. It's worth about 1-2% of battery.

Yup, oops.

 

[TreborThickweb]

Thanks for the update. I think l saw the same markers there back in January, or are these new ones?

 

[MarkBrokeIt]

Went by FM again yesterday. The only hint of new construction is as I mentioned earlier - in the shopping centers near the street. The markings are parallel to the street, for the entire length of the parking lot.

The only "recent" construction I saw in the main lot might be what theFloridian mentioned above. There was a small access panel + trench added near some of the markings.

This morning, while grabbing my morning coffee
The area had been coned-off and caution tape looped from cone to cone surrounding the entire area of the (12) stalls were the Superchargers would be installed. this is the latest activity I've encountered for the parking space

Fencing crew dropped off a container and finished erecting a cyclone fence and dust tarps around the entire area!

Sounds like you will need to continue having that morning coffee
