[PLUS EV]

Any updates? Will be pulling into Joplin this evening

I doubt the new one is open, but we'd love it if you stopped by and took some good pictures Try to find a transformer and meter.

Okay so really couldn't see inside the enclosure at all but from what the lady inside, manager Misty, told me it should be up by the end of the week.

I stopped in today a guy was working on them asked him when those will go active he thought either today or tomorrow if everything passed inspection. I also asked him if they would shut down the other location and he said to his knowledge no.

Was he driving a Tesla and/or charging his Tesla on each of the stalls? If so, that's a Tesla employee testing them which is the last step in activation and they will probably be active by tonight (if not already). He probably doesn't want to promise tonight in case something goes wrong (maybe 20% of the time) and he has to come back tomorrow to finish up.

I saw the guy he was talking about, yes- he was driving a Tesla Model X, parked next to the enclosure with his rear liftgate up and a bunch of tools laying around. He had the side of the enclosure open, saw me driving by and waved at me, I didn't talk to him however.

Edit to add: I didn't have a good angle into the enclosure- I didn't see anything green there from the angle I had. That isn't to say there isn't one inside or elsewhere. They did tear up part of the entrance to the parking lot to run wiring under it toward the back of the store when they were working on it weeks back.

Go back and check on it ASAP then. If I were a betting man, I'd say this one is active now. And if not now, at some point on Saturday. The guy who activated it probably drove down from KC or STL and he's not going to want to spend his weekend in Joplin.

I didn't quite understand your post, but I take it you are objecting to my overexuberance! Anyways, you don't have to check on it if you don't want to. But some of us like to add a new pin to the map and I'm pretty sure the next guy who stops in will be able to provide confirmation that it's open so that will be nice

The supercharger is now half online (4 stalls of 8 are not lit up) and showing up on the map in the car! I tried it out and it works. Car screenshot below is only showing 2 of 8 because someone else was there already charging when I plugged in.

@Chuq or @MarcoRP can you update Joplin's new Supercharger status?

 

[dewing]

My view from within the Tesla app. Seems that Tesla thinks its up.

 

[mesch]

The guy working on it said he was from KC. He told me after he finished it would go live possibly within 20 minutes on the map. Great guy to talk to you seemed extremely intelligent.

Thanks all for the updates

Here charging now — nice corner of the convenience store lot, and fast v3s! Got 170kW in my 2017 Model X

FYI, Tesla's official Supercharger Twitter feed posted about the location.

Interestingly. Today. We charged here and while there are 8 stalls the car nav says they're are 12

Does anyone know why Tesla currently shows this location as "Temporary Closure"? Abrp also shows it as unavailable, but I'm sure they are just repeating what they see from Tesla. Plugshare's last check-in here was on Nov 11, 2021.

Good to see that they are working on this. The other bank of Superchargers in Joplin is/was (have not been in a while) the worst location I have ever seen. Next to a condemned hotel, a bunch of old full dumpsters and industrial equipment from the condemned hotel, and a spooky totally empty convention center that would have been a great location for a horror movie. A truly creepy place - especially with signs on the old hotel stating DANGEROUS. I always made sure I could make it through to Springfield or Catoosa rather than stop there...

Tesla's Supercharger map says it is fully operational. So I'd go with that (although I did not go out and look it up in my car). Temporary failures are not unusual.
