Supercharger - Lacey, WA

[acarney]

I did not. But, for eastern WA, I assume most ground utility work like this will pause for the winter months.

That's what I figure... probably unlikely to see Yakima this year or Okanogan. I'll be curious if the map get's updated next year with some new "coming soon" locations because Tesla is actually really knocking the list down for WA! There are still a number of spots that would make travel easier (especially in winter), but otherwise only like four or five more before there won't be any more coming soon markers on the map!

Only Supercharger map on Tesla.com has this new station.
Google and Tesla app don't have it yet

I’m here now. Getting my usual (throttled) charge rate of 108kW. One of the stalls is only lit up on one side but it works.

Made it! Still not on the in-car nav.

 

[laceyboy]

It's on App now.

And on the in-car app. I used it this afternoon, very nice! I do like the either side of the middle aisle charger parking as well.

It actually looked almost full this afternoon (from the nav screen). Maybe just a couple of unused stalls.

A lot of times the ChargePoint chargers have a few free charges in them when they are first commissioned. Then after a certain amount of either time or charge sessions they require payment.

These ones are slated to be free, as per the Target agreement. The one at DOL on the other Side of Kohl's is also free, but usually blocked in by their EV's and employee parking.

The chargers are getting some love.

Looks like the SC may be getting an internet connection.....

Noticed fresh locate lines around the transformer and cabinets while I was charging today.

Wonder if it’s for security cameras…

Wonder if it’s for security cameras…

Or for reporting SC usage and status? Moving away from cellular at certain SC?

 

[henderrj]

Why, I wonder, don't they use Starlink?

Why, I wonder, don't they use Starlink?

High power usage, relatively poor reliability, much higher risk of vandalism? Also they probably have to pay retail for it.

 

[DSolie]

Whoops... Wasn't me.

 

[Yarder]

Whoops... Wasn't me.

At least there's no gas spill!

Assuming this isn't malicious, people manage to do this *with a backup camera and parking sensors*. Sometimes I worry about how many genuinely bad drivers there are out there on the roads.
