On the permit database, neither of the permits has been picked up. At other Oregon sites, construction activity has been evident within a couple of days after the permit is paid.

Yeah, me, too. A couple friends and myself put in a 70 amp Tesla charger in Burns, so going from Bend to Burns is 130 miles, then a small, short top up should get you enough to make it to Boise, about another 130 miles. Actually, before the Tesla charger, I could make it all the way by going 60 mph, and that used to be the speed limit.
There's a really neat kitchen store right near the charger that can keep you busy for a half hour, and the county offices have a bathroom that's always open next to the chargers. Burns is not a bad place.
Unfortunately, so many people buy a 60 kWh battery and then wish they had chargers everywhere. Eventually they will, I suppose. But there's a charger. You can get maybe 50 miles extra in an hour, easily enough to make it to Bend.
You and your friends have my undying gratitude for that charger in Burns. It was one of the reasons I had the second inverter installed in my MS.
Looks like the permits have changed status to "Permit issued".
I'll second that! For the Lincoln City and Bandon superchargers, the permit appears to have been picked up when the civil engineering crew arrived in town. Construction activity was evident within a couple of days.

There haven't been any inspections yet, so someone would need to drive by and look to get confirmation that it is under construction.
I'll be driving through there on the way to Bend at the beginning of next week, so I'll use some of my valuable electrons to take some photos instead of turning up the heat!

I'll be driving up to Whistler in march. If kfalls SC is open by then maybe I'll take the scenic route on the way back.

Ah, so it is. I was looking for a Tesla-specific plug. That Nema 14-50 will do just fine, thx. I have friends in Sun River OR, 143 miles from your charger -- just right.

Is that available 24/7? I'm a night owl and most of my routes through Burns would have me charging there after midnight. I keep looking into doing one of those drives, but usually opt in favor of a supercharger only route. Need to bridge the Bend-Winnemucca or Baker City/Boise-Winnemucca gaps.
Ah, that would make some sense. I also just have the 40A limit, and it's sometimes handy to turn on the 14-50 in Plugshare and turn off the J1772 in filtering because for the most part J1772 clutters up the map with tons of 20 and 30 amp connections when you would really prefer a 14-50 for the higher charge rate.
I have been to that building, but it was before they put those in, so I didn't see them in person yet. From the pictures, I think they are around the back side of it, and I don't think there are any gates anywhere, so they should be accessible 24/7.
