Supercharger - Lakewood, CO (Colorado Mills)

[MorrisonHiker]

The is very cool. I'm not far away either. I just noticed today on my App that there was a Lakewood Charger. 16 Chargers and 250kW ... yes sir! Looks like they have one planned for south of I-70 on Wads as well at some point. But this is great news. Low chance of ICEing, lots of Chargers. And V3. Happy about it.

I think the Lakewood location will be replacing the Wheat Ridge one that was originally put on the map years ago. Do you have any recent information concerning another possible site?

I was just looking at the supercharger map on tesla.com where it talks about another potential site. The gray pin is near Wads and I-70. It says coming 2020 right now. Of course it could be the case that Tesla removes that from their map. Not sure why they haven't if they just built a site to replace it. Either way, I'm happy about the new site! V3 and 16 stalls.

I've noticed that this location only shows at 15 stalls in the app even though there are 16 stalls installed. When we were last there, we noticed holes in the grass and exposed wiring behind several stalls.

Today, I noticed that the location is showing an issue in the app. I assume it's still open and they are finally working to fix the bad stall(s). We saw this a couple weeks back at the Thornton Supercharger.

Has anyone charged at this location today? If so, could you tell if they were working to fix things?

It's been mentioned in other threads but here's a recap. The pin that Tesla places on the map is not the location where it will be installed. They put the pin centered over the city name. You can see that it is centered over "Wheat Ridge". The Denver one is centered over "Denver". The Cherry Creek one is centered over "Cherry Creek". None of those Superchargers will actually be built in those locations. Once a Supercharger is built, they move the pin to the actual location.

Prairie dogs?

Prairie dogs?

Ha ha.

When they installed them, we had a lot of snow and it looked like they didn't pack the dirt behind the Superchargers. Later in the spring, the dirt settled or washed away and you could see wiring exposed at multiple stalls. Quite the tripping hazard.

I went by there on Wednesday around 3:30 just to see if it was really down like the icon in my car said it was. And all stalls were empty and apparently all shut off. I didn't see any fried prairie dogs.

I was going to go today around noon and it indicated in the car as offline. I just happened to be there around 5pm, and they were working, so I grabbed some juice for my loaner model s.

Sept. 28, 2023: no Magic Dock (no surprise).

When I checked Tesla's site today the only SCs in Colorado they showed with Magic Docks were Kremmling and Steamboat

As discussed in the Magic Dock thread, in our area Tesla has activated Magic Docks in Moab, Montrose, Craig, Kremmling, and Lamar. All lightly used stations that shouldn't have problems if CCS cars take up two stalls.

We probably won't see Magic Dock at the Lakewood Supercharger any time soon since the Electrify America stations are just a few parking spots away and this Supercharger location is often very busy.
