Darn it, @PLUS EV , can’t you let someone else get first charge for a change? You go everywhere, I go nowhere so this was my most likely chance for that honor.

Need bumpers or the stations are going to get beat up pretty quickly.

I met @PLUS EV in Kirkland last night. Decent location at Fred Meyer.

Well today it's working but it's not showing on the map

Can one of moderators move the map pin on supercharge.info a bit further north to direct people to the right area of the parking lots at Freddie's? I forget their handles. Also this thread title can now change to "LIVE" from "under construction".

Here's a black oval marking the area where the superchargers actually are located compared to the red dot seen on supercharger,info:

Someone else was pulling out when I pulled in so it wasn't a true "first," just a "first day charge" which is what we track in our competition. It's very difficult to get a true first charge these days, and almost impossible to verify anyway. I *think* I had like 3 of those in the past but they were all 2019 or earlier. Monroe was the one I was somewhat confident about around here. Very confident about Traverse City, MI since they still had it roped off letting the asphalt dry lol.

2,837!! Only good for 2nd place these days as Bighorn just did some serious damage in Europe

No bumpers and centered stalls is likely so non-Teslas will eventually be able to use them. I've heard rumors that basically all the v3s are going to be enabled for them eventually. We'll see how the damage is! It's a tradeoff for sure.

The middle 4 stations 2A thru 2D are down as of this post.

@bmah

Report the thread and asking for a title change works better because it’s not always Bruce and the mods read reports more than threads they are tagged in.

That didn’t take very long

It looks like there are plans to double the number of stalls at this location. There's a recent permit for 12 EV parking stalls on the same parcel as the current Supercharger and the contractor is listed as "TESLA ENERGY OPERATIONS INC".
