@BlueShift Can you update the Loveland, CO Discuss link to point to this thread instead of the Northern Colorado locations thread? Also, can you update it to show it has 10 stalls and that it is now open? Thanks.

Great update! Thanks.
An earlier photo from @DrivingRockies seems to show the 10th charger by the transformers as being a trailer-friendly pull-through spot. Can you confirm that?

None of the 10 charging sites are pull-through. Sorry. Was there this afternoon with 3 other teslas. Didn't expect such instant demand.

Pretty good crowd considering it's not even on the TM maps or website yet. That's great word of mouth.

Sat, 31 Dec, at noon, the Colorado Springs EV Club will have a gang at the new Loveland SC for an informal dedication. Come by if you are in the area.
Stopped by the brand-new Loveland SpC yesterday in my brand-new 90D. I was momentarily excited to think I might have been the first to charge there when I read the electric meter (00003 kWh) but the display never changed. The 10th stall is a pull-in but not a pull-through; anyone who pulls in to charge with a trailer attached risks blocking several other stalls.
No fencing around the cabinets is a pretty cool feature, though I wonder if that is temporary.

Yeah, that meter has a multiplier of 192. So probably 500 or so kw has passed though.

Great turnout today for the Loveland, Colorado Supercharger ribbon cutting. We had 9 of 10 stalls filled with 2 MXs and 7 MSs!
This is a very nice site. Close to the main entrance of the Embassy Suites which has a coffee shop and great restaurant inside.
It turned out to be an exciting day for Northern Colorado. Some of our group had stopped by the Brush, CO Supercharger site on their way to Loveland. Brush went online this morning.
Many thanks to the Colorado Springs EV Club for getting the word out on such short notice.

I had my Model X delivered on the 31st back in Wyoming, Just now trying out this Loveland Supercharger. 70miles of range and I'm only getting 77kW was at 49kW for the first 10min of charge. 28F so It's not that cold. I've charged at faster rates in colder weather at other chargers is this one limited?
How warm was your battery? If you had not driven far or have range mode on, your battery will have to warm up before it will charge at higher rate (even when it's "not that cold"). Perhaps by the time it warmed up, you were beginning to taper?
Also, you should try moving to a different pair of chargers when that happens. It could be that there is a problem that needs to be reported. There is a Supercharger that I have been to twice, and the first time, I thought the rate was a little slow (much like you describe). The next time I went there, it was slow again. I thought back and realized that, even though the facility was completely empty both times, I had pulled into the SAME stall! Move to a different pair and it worked fine.
From the 2017 map it looks like they will probably have one in Boulder and Estes Park.

Not a supercharger but, when we were in estes last winter we noticed the Italian restaurant had added 3 destination chargers. Plugged in, walked around town, ate, it was perfect
I think Destination Chargers only give you around 34 miles of charging per hour, so keep that in mind with travel plans

That's right. In the past, we've paid for charging near the police station. Not fast but still nice. We've also rented a cabin at the ymca and plugged into the outlet overnight to get an extra boost.

The Estes Park library has some great public J1772 chargers. They're 240V at 70A which is good for just over 50 MPH if you have the high amperage or dual charger package. Nicely priced too at $1/hour with max of 3 hours.

For those interested, could make or break a close call getting to the supercharger.
Crews to close parts of Interstate 25, Crossroads Boulevard for construction work next week
