Supercharger - Lynchburg, VA

[dsnows]

Tesla Nav is still showing this SC as temporarily closed, but we just stopped by (3PM - Friday, July 10th) since we had to use the restrooms @ Sheetz anyway and it looks like it's back operational again. A Pepsi truck was blocking all the spaces but one, but that charger (next to the transformer) worked fine for us. Seemed to peak out at ~150-160kW for our new MY, but then again I wasn't paying close attention either.

Pretty happy it was open since now we can skip the Roanoke SC and go directly to Fairy Stone State Park for some weekend camping!

thanks for the update. I may want to stop there on my way back from N.C. To Northern VA in a couple days.

The app now shows 7 of 8 stalls as available, but the location is still marked with the icon used for sites that are temporarily unavailable.

That icon is used for both Temporary Closure and Reduced Service.

wonder what the deal is, is it having issues getting the power it needs?

It's an extremely new site. It could be the V3 hardware (due to how new it is). 7/8 is better than 0/8 available

Worked today. Only tried one stall. ~130kw max at 48% charge.

BTW, Nav will not automatically route you through this SC. You can enter it manually as a destination but car did not precondition the battery.

Just used it. Working fine even though showing up as reduced service on map.

Is this site OK plan on stopping and charging. Still reduced or normal charging.

General question, If a Tesla site looses power or shuts off, does it report immediately?

All of the recent check-ins on PlugShare are positive.

I’ve stopped here several times in recent weeks, and it appears these chargers aren’t too busy which is not surprising given the location. “10 minute general parking” signage —> occasionally ICEed since the spots are close to the main door. Right on Hwy 29 Bypass (around Lynchburg), near airport.

I don't know if anyone is tracking this, but this site appears to have Starlink...or at least something, as my car automatically connected to WiFi at this site. I didn't actually see an antenna though.
