Supercharger - Lacey, WA

[PLUS EV]

Ok, transformer is energized, light pole is lit, but Tesla stalls are still dark. Hopefully they commission it early this week!

My best guess is this means they got the all clear from PSE, but Tesla hasn't done their testing yet. There should definitely be someone qualified to do the testing in one of the Seattle (or Portland) area service centers, so it's just a matter of when they can send that person out to do it. Then, if everything looks fine, or at least good enough to open (~90% chance in my experience), they will go live that day. It may still take a few hours, days, or weeks for the supercharger to appear in the Nav and on the Tesla website.

There is another possibility that the supercharger has already been tested, but they shut the power down for some other reason. This is often because they want to pave or paint the area, or it could be because something went wrong in the testing and they need to replace a part or something like that.

Maybe today? Looked like a Tesla technician here earlier.

The Tesla tech will be driving a Tesla and charge at each stall to test them. He'll most likely park parallel to the curb so he can inch forward and easily test one after the other. This looks like something else.

That is what I saw as I drove by. Could not stop to take a picture then. He had left by the time I got back.

This person looked like he was just cleaning up, wiping down the cabinets while I was there.

Still dark at noon. I'll check here in a bit before I leave for the day.

Ok! Just went and talked to the guy who is commissioning them. He’s hoping to have him online tonight. There was some installation issues / crossed wires he’s trying to work through. If he can’t get it online tonight then the contractor has to come out and fix it.

He says this station has been flagged as “high priority” and will be love by the end of the week.

I know I said 90% earlier. Unfortunately this is the 10%.

The tech was still working on it around 7pm. Stalls were not lit up when I stopped in a little before midnight.

Soon, hopefully.

Contractor is there with Tesla. Stalking them from my office.

I was just out there at 2:30. Still not powered up and no one working on it (that I could see).

I saw a tech with his truck few days ago but seems to be contractor.
This location is not available on Google maps or Tesla maps yet.
Picked mine up last month and 1000 miles in Loot box

Any news?

 

[SmokeGlider]

I'll drive by a little later tonight and give y'all a report.

 

[SmokeGlider]

Pulled up at 6:30, plugged in...nada. Still not lit.

 

[DSolie]

Yup. Still dead.

Checked today at 4:30. Not surprisingly there's nothing yet.

 

[DSolie]

Been quiet there all day... My guess is they are waiting on Maicom, who does the final wiring, to come back out and fix the issues.

My sister said she saw people working on it around 8am today. No pics though.

I went and parked there for lunch and she was still dark. I am hoping one AM I go to work and see all those little telsas lit up on the stands.

Still no juice just before midnight.

I wasn't expecting anything but I was driving by on I-5 anyway so I stopped in and checked. Now that I've left the state, it will probably be powered on in the morning.

Fixin' begins!
