Supercharger - Lone Tree, CO
- Thread starter airj1012
- Start date
I have visited 104 Superchargers across 24 states and and the normal flow is once the transformer is installed, then the Meter has to be installed and powered up by the utility, then a Tesla tech must test all the chargers and label them all e.g. 1A 1B etc and only THEN will it be powered up. I would guess about a week, though in Austin, it has been a month at the final stage. Colorado is much more pro Tesla than Texas, so it should be soon. My guess one week.
The transformer is sitting there, a couple of guys were working on it Saturday morning, but there is clearly more to do.
If there were a meter, this is where it would be.

Status update- 11/14 at 9:30AM
- Transformer is hot (I can hear it hum) so it’s attached to primary and they would have almost had to have pulled and attached secondary
- Stripping almost complete
- Still no meter

Thanks for the good news! Here’s to hoping it opens this week! There’s been some queues on the working superchargers lately.
They opened the Denver supercharger before the meter was installed - perhaps that will happen here as well.

This is great. I had to wait 20 minutes Saturday night for a SC to open up at Lonetree, to be able to make it home. Two of the four stalls were occupied by the store's demo cars, one of which was unplugged. Remaining stalls were only putting out 26 kW and took multiple connection tries because of "charging errors".
Having a large, dedicated SC will make charging at Lonetree painless again!

Very cool! Looks like they’re wrapping up the landscaping and setting the meter base!!
Hopefully Xcel will be out quick to set the meter!!

The superchargers at the original Lone Tree site are now coned and out of service. Their removal is imminent, but the HPWCs that the demo cars use will remain in place according to the manager of the showroom in the mall.
@BlueShift , Can you remove the original Lone Tree, CO Supercharger and rename the new one to remove the new one?

Charged here today. Popular place: 3 MSs and my MX.
You need to be careful with backing in because the regular mall traffic doesn't slow down on the access road as you are trying to stop and maneuver.
The new chargers still aren't on the on-board map, but it's easy to find using the Google Maps screenshot posted earlier.
This is fantastic compared to the old 4-stall location! Well done, Supercharger team!
Once I start cruising Colorado in a Pearl White Tesla Semi with 500 miles range, I'll be able to skip this charging stop...

I've called in a bug report requesting that they update the on-board map to reflect the new location. I imagine it would be an easy thing for the SC team to overlook; I don't remember another instance of a SC changing location without also changing name. I only know of one instance of an SC being formally decommissioned (Bethesda MD). I interpret the Gaithersburg site currently under construction to be its replacement.
The old site has always been considered "temporary", ever since I bought my Model S there three years ago.
