She’s lit up!

Supercharger is now live. There's currently three of us here.

@jonfinley @SgCoren Great news, thanks for the update. I've updated supercharge.info to mark it as online.

I'll be using this Supercharger often.

sweeeet! mostly removes the need to trickle at my in-laws' in June.

I'll be completely independent of their wall plug once Farmville lights up!

Didn't see your post. US Cellular sucks out there apparently.

Man, I wish this had opened 2 days earlier: I had to have my S towed to Richmond because it would not charge at the house (only had 9 miles of range left). One of the (potential) troubleshooting tips from Tesla: try to charge at a Supercharger. Not sure when I'll get my car back (or what exactly is wrong with it).

Great news! There is speculation that the Madison SuC is live as well. @swengl - sorry to hear about the trouble. Hopefully you'll get it back soon.

Looks like it is the battery coolant heater that needed to be replaced. Hopefully, I can pick it up this weekend. If folks want to get together next weekend to celebrate the opening of the SuC, we all meet at Sheetz and then grab a bite to eat somewhere in town. PM me if interested and we can get something going.

All good. Just glad to see it functioning

Charging here right now...

 

[Justintiime]

Tried it out today. Maxed out at only 102kw, arriving with a very low state of charge

A group of local owners are planning to meet at the SuC this Saturday around 10:30 a.m. to meet/greet and celebrate the opening of the SuperCharger. Please feel free to join us and meet some of the other local owners.

I shall be there, swengl! Thanks for all that construction monitoring. They couldn't have built it without you.

 

[swengl]

Haha, thanks! I plan to write Sheetz a nice thank you and continue to encourage them to expand their offering of renewable energy options. I know of a few folks that plan to be there on Saturday, so hopefully the weather will be nice. I look forward to meeting you then. Cheers!

Shoot, I wanted to meet some of you but headed out skiing tomorrow. Maybe next time.

Thanks to this SuC, my yearly 800 mile trip is now doable with less than one hour of total charging time. Insane!

Of course there is no way I would ever actually "only" stop for 55 minutes. We usually have about 2 hours' worth of stops on that trip.

Was the battery cold?

Fun meeting everyone this morning. Glad I could make the logistics work as pay of our trip to Kill Devil Hills. I appreciated the suggestions for eateries at the Outer Banks.

Had that same issue recently in my S at 74k.
