Sweet there will be SCs at both USS Badger port towns.

Hopefully, the USS Badger will be in service next season. It's ramp system collapsed about 6 weeks ago and needs months of repairs.

They need L2 on the ferry, It’s a 4 hour trip.

It’s decommissioned sister ship, used for Parts, sits in Ludington.

Powered by coal or diesel?

Seems like Tesla has pulled back with public acknowledgement of “Coming Soon “ Locations on its Find Us Map.

Powered by coal or diesel?

Coal, just like a large portion of Wisconsin, It’s the last steam ship operating in the United States. They already run steam driven generators for electric power.

It’s been 2 Weeks, is anyone on the eastern side able to do a drive by update status report with fresh photos?

I should be able to drop down sometime in the next two or three days

I dropped by this morning. There is certainly some site work to do, such as filling in the gap between the edge of the pavement and the concrete curbs, painting parking spot lines and landscaping. The cabinets, transformer and meter are there (meter seemed to be unpowered). There is no way to know if all the electrical work inside the cabinets has been completed or not.

 

[DMC5180]

Thank You! Looks like all the major work is done. Just some small work & landscaping to complete. I’m guessing it will go live this month.

@khorton Any chance you swing by for fresh look?

I might have a chance tomorrow morning

I stopped by this morning. Since I was there last, they have repaved the parking area and painted the lines. The meter had power, but the chargers weren't working yet. I'm guessing it just needs Tesla to drop by and do their testing so they can enable it. Could be any day now.

Thank you for keeping tabs on this location! Looking forward to having this one available.

 

[DMC5180]

Thank you @khorton I agree it could go live any day now.

My wife gave the Model S some kilowatts at Manitowoc after her 500 mile drive today.
This has a more convenient than Sheboygan.

Wouldn’t be surprised if this gets MagicDock added at some point.

I did a quick charge there today as well. I must admit that I am a bit confused by the placement of the bollards. Their placement well off center of the parking spots provides very poor protection for the pedestals. I expect that one or more pedestals will eventually get hit and pushed back.

I charged my 20 MYLR there the day it went live (Nov 4th). My battery was low and I was the only one there and I was getting lower-than-normal charge speeds (lower even than a 150kw charger). I chalked it up to being brand new. Can anyone confirm that they've gotten normal/fast charging speeds there since? I live in Minneapolis but take my Tesla to visit family in Manitowoc a few times a year and this will really help.

Also, is there any way to see if there are any other planned supercharger installs along Highway 29 in WI? I feel like nobody knew about this sneaky Manitowoc charger until it began getting installed. One more supercharger between the Menomonie charger and the Wausau charger would make winter travel feasible for me.
