Speaking of US-395, it seems much more likely that they would put a supercharger in Mount Vernon (or maybe John Day) than Mitchell for that very reason. A supercharger there and in Colville, WA are the only two remaining to "complete" the entire highway from the Canadian border to the Mexican border.I'll give you Mitchell if you give me Lakeview, OR.That would allow going from Klamath Falls to Winnemucca without going south to Reno. Selfishly, I'd rather it be closer to the halfway mark between Klamath Falls and Winnemucca, but I figure from Tesla's point of view, Lakeview is better being at the intersection of routes 140 and 395, serving both.

It's OK. If you use Google Maps to plan a route from the Klamath Falls Supercharger to the one in Winnemucca, it'll take you on 140, which is faster than going south to Reno and back up to Winnemucca. But it's like 307 miles, if memory serves, and that's cutting it too close for my comfort without a charge in between.

@acarney posted this in the Boardman thread. Blackstone has put in a OneCall for this Supercharger.

New one call for directional drilling filed a few hours ago. Should be some more activity soon.

I rolled by there last night around midnight, and it's looking pretty good. All the underground work is done. Just need to finish the pavement and install the equipment.

Just picked up a pizza and the contractors have been busy! But I see I’m not the first to post about this! Also, seems like they put them one row over to the north from what was indicated on the designs (which is a bit more congested)?

They are straight out from pizza hut, as per the designs. In the driveway to the left correct? As per the plans Marco posted.

I didn’t look at the plans, but recalled reading a reference to the liquor store which would be south one lane, but sure you are right. Usually these chargers are off to a quiet edge in parking lots. This is front and center to the ingress/egress.

So is Troutdale. So is Hood River. could be an Oregon thing, ha.
These both have a very busy ingress to the lots in which they sit.
Especially if you have to back in to charge. Oh, wait, that's most all Tesla vehicles.
More Superchargers, Please, but slightly better locating, Tesla.

Last night’s progress: nice shiny units in, and concrete was freshly poured for one of the electrical boxes near the entrance (Not pictured).
Thanks for the updates and pictures. I am VERY EXCITED for this supercharger as I routinely travel from Portland area to Madras area. Soon no more 43kw max CHADEMO adapting at the Chamber of Commerce!
Yeah, the CHAdeMO spot has been down two of the four chargers for 2 months too! Last time I went through there a Rivian was just unplugging next to a Bolt and I got to charge right away (Phew). I’ve been driving electric through Madras for five years and have been thankful for the CHAdeMO but been eagerly awaiting the “coming son” supercharger!

It's a huge deal! I bet this site will be packed with a line on July 4th weekend (hope it is opened by then!) Although it is not my thing or business, it would be a great place for a coffee/food truck stand ("Cafe recharge" "VoltCoffee" "LithiumLatte" or something!)

Last night update. They have two electrical cabinets in, but if you look at that photo closely, all the conduits for the chargers come into that concrete pad on the left edge. Not much changed with the chargers, but this photo is sharper…
Each v3 cabinet serves 4 stalls so 2 cabinets for 8 stalls is normal and what we expected. The empty pad is where the transformer will go so that's the main thing we are waiting on now.

Looks like most equipment is gone and main work completed. But the protection posts still need to be added, along with some concrete work around the chargers, signs.

Was the utility transformer still missing, or just out of frame of the pictures? Your last picture seems to show an open pad to the right of the two Tesla cabinets.
