Supercharger - Kuttawa, Kentucky

[Handlebars]

If anyone is traveling I - 24 over the Holidays, please check the status of the new station behind the Hampton Hotel at Highway 62, ( Exit 40). JoeMap posted pictures on the Paducah thread recently, and the construction symbol on the Supercharge.info site indicates there will be 8 stalls. I talked with the desk clerk at Hampton this week and she is aware of the construction, but has no information about the completion date. Any info and pictures would be appreciated.

Thanks, Handlebar's 14 S

By request, attached are the pictures I took two weeks ago.

Someone posted a new picture on the Paducah thread - they have made tremendous progress but the post didn't mention the presence or absence of a transformer.

I just called the Hampton Inn in Kuttawa to check on the status of supercharger. She said it is complete and in the final testing stage, and scheduled to be operational 1/1/2017. HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Just a comment - mods may be reluctant to merge threads on the chance that there will also be a Paducah site in future.

No other Kentucky locations are on Tesla's 2017 list. There is an existing site in Jackson TN, and planned sites in Marion IL and Hurricane Mills TN. So it seems Paducah is not on the cards (unless things change) and this thread can be safely merged with Kuttawa.

Edit: The post above was supposed to go in the Supercharger - Paducah, Kentucky thread. Argh, I'm just making it worse!

Note - this went live on the Tesla website the same time as Moosic PA. Local Pennsylvanians have found the site live on their in car nav as well - but upon visiting the site it is still under construction. Be cautious of visiting the Kuttawa site in case Tesla have made a bulk error in publishing these sites early.

My parents successfully charged here this afternoon. It seems kuttawa is confirmed open for business.

Hi, just charged this week on this super nice charger. 8 stalls, only one occupied was us. Great location near I-24 with nice steakhouse just a few feet away. Really quick and easy for our 1st road trip in our new Model 3.

I charge here every couple of months. I've noticed that the live update on usage seems to always over count the number of people using it. Anyone else notice that? Two weeks ago I was traveling to it, and my map in the car said there were 6 chargers in use. When I got there only one was in use. A few days later it said two were in use and upon my arrival there were none in use.

Visited this charger twice in August on a trip to and back from St. Louis to Chattanooga. It was uncrowded, worked fast, and the neighboring restaurant was actually pretty good.

It was back online as of Jan 3, 2020 when we stopped there. An employee of the Oasis restaurant next to it said that it was down for a few days and a number of people got stranded. Some apparently were looking to get towed back to Nashville. He said it wasn't Tesla but something to do with the local electric company. No details beyond that, but a bit scary to hear, as without this location making it between southern Illinois and Nashville is either impossible or a very long out-of-the-way trip. Would really prefer a charger in Paducah, but doubtful that will materialize anytime in the next few years.

Yeah, I had just enough to make it to a destination charger at a Paducah hotel to charge enough to my next Supercharger stop. Thankfully they were kind enough to help out.

Tesla car navigation said this supercharger is down and the Oasis Southwestern Grill manager confirmed it is down when I called the restaurant.

We did that on the way back.
Check in, plug-in, unpack, relax, and then unplug with enough charge to make it to Manchester, TN the next morning.

I'll soon be taking a trip and it looks like we may be checking out this hotel / supercharger. Is it a nicer area? Trying to decide if I'll need to completely unload my car for the overnight or not.
