I don't want to minimize Grand Island, but get real. For some of us from far, far away, Lincoln is very important!
Without Lincoln we might have to hit you up for some electrons.
I admit I'm mostly in Omaha when I'm around there.

The Tesla tech will drive out with a Model S to test and activate the site. They fly into a city with a showroom, borrow one of their demos, and drive out to the site. Once they're done, you'll see number labels on the bases of the charging bollards, and the "TESLA" on each will be lit at night. You may be right- it is possible they'll wait for Grand Island before activating both. It does sound as if this site is ready, though.
Thanks for all of your reports!

The "Omaha" Supercharger is just across the border, in Council Bluffs, Iowa.
You're welcome to stop by and eat some electron pie. But if you're in Omaha, Council Bluffs is probably 5 miles away from you. Council Bluffs and Omaha are pretty much the same metro area..except for the river.I don't want to minimize Grand Island, but get real. For some of us from far, far away, Lincoln is very important!

BTW, Kansas City, MO SC (Independence) is 194 miles from Lincoln and 182 from Council Bluffs. Not a significant advantage.
But going west, Grand Island is critical.
Driving to Lincoln from the showroom in Independence MO might be a little dicey depending on the weather. This is EV from KCMO to KLNK.
However you could go through Topeka.

I was just checking Brush and Loveland and it looks as though they're ready to go also. I80/I76 is about to be lit!
This was my point as well. Reading comprehension lacking in this thread!
I got lost in the thread..or missed the first one. I will say that an Omaha service center has been promised for the last two years but it doesn't look like it's happening. There is a ranger in Omaha though so that's something.
Omaha has rangers and loaner cars. They are only missing the building. When they test Lincoln I think it's safe to assume that they'd use a loaner car in Omaha rather than one from Kansas City.
Driving from Omaha to KC I sometimes stop in St Joe for the CHAdeMO stop at the HyVee, plus there are a few CHAdeMO stations in KC (all free for now). In fact, since getting my CHAdeMO adapter, I haven't used the Independence (KC) SuperCharger. Might be worthwhile to use that on the Lincoln to KC journey. I agree with posts above that the distance between Council Bluffs or Lincoln to Independence (KC) can be dicey in bad weather (hence my learning on a long bad weather night and needing a couple L2 stops) and the CHAdeMO makes it all easy.
This baby was just humming away today (Christmas). Meter installed, showing no load (of course).
This site is ready to be commissioned. Somebody at Tesla needs to throw a switch and check her out! 500 KVA, omg.

Thanks for the update! Looks like the I-76/I-80 corridor will be complete the end of next month!
