Supercharger - Issaquah, WA (LIVE 10/8/2018)

[Kuhz]

There is still a board that has "hole" painted on it. I also noticed someone put the yellow protective pole in front of it, but it didn't feel completely solid. My guess is no transformer yet. The covers are still over the supercharger posts themselves

The transformer is a big green box. You can’t miss it

 

[PhilBa]

Could be any month now...

Optimist!

 

[Wynn]

Transformer is installed. Still no signage on the stalls’ signposts. Chargers are still bagged up.

 

[Kuhz]

Creeping closer!

 

[ReddyLeaf]

Awesome. I would use it today if open. Instead, I’ll struggle back to Eburg through Tacoma. I-5 is now open.

I wonder how many other SC have been installed during this painfully slow process?

It looks like the Bellevue location is not done yet.

I live in Redmond and asked my 3 to navigate to the nearest Supercharger. Interesting result. Nothing shown on the actual map, but it knows where it's located. Perhaps this is user reported on Google maps? Hope it's up and running soon.

Sorry in advance for the poor image quality.

That's because someone put it on Google Maps. Yet another reason why that shouldn't be done before they are finished, yet it happens over and over again.

Ok, that's what I figured. Thanks for confirming. Got me all excited. SMH

Instead of navigating to the nearest supercharger, you should just push the lightning bolt button and all of the actual superchargers will pop up with stall usage information for the ones that are nearby.

Did not know this! I need to click more buttons apparently. Thanks for the tip.

Now back to the topic at hand!

There's no standard time frame. It could open today or it could open next year.

How about say Lynnwood and the other more recent ones in the PNW ? From transformer in and construction done to plug in powered

Btw great work to all on these updates

looks like everything is in place. except the signs on the sign posts as @Wynn reported as of monday 9am. who knows how soon they will get them bolted on and THEN it should be open for business. the shorts will probably say TSLA is running out of cash.

if you are the ocd type, you can click refresh to this link, if it shows there is an inspection happening, that should be the last step.

That's usually not the last step. The city/utility would do that inspection, but then Tesla will send a technician out to test it before they turn it on.

Based on Lynnwood thread

Stopped by during my lunch and saw a couple of big trucks (one with a crane) leaving the area, and saw a nice pretty transformer! No idea on wiring status, didn't have time to talk to anybody/check it out. I'm sure Tesla still needs to come by and do their tests. Almost there!

Live!

It took 10 days between transformer installation and service operation. But not sure same timeframe would applies Issaquah.

 

[emupilot]

The Supercharger Progress wiki has a table for sites that are operational which often include when the transformer was installed. In addition to Lynnwood's 10 days, here are times from transformer installation to operational for other Washington sites: Monroe was 12 days, Vancouver was 69 days, Leavenworth was 33 days, and Arlington was 5 days.

Unrelated to the supercharger discussion, I'll be soon moving to Issaquah in coming weeks, what are my options of quick and free charging? I know Issaquah Park n Ride has free EV charging spots but are there any more high speed charging spots around? Also coming from bay area, I find its disappointing the lack of superchargers around Seattle and its suburbs. Hopefully this is first of many to come!

Appreciate the answers.
