Supercharger - Margaret River, WA

[moa999]

New 3 stall V3 reported as under construction at Margaret River in South West WA.

About 110km from the existing Eaton site.
And 270km from Perth which would enable larger battery cars to skip Eaton altogether.

There should be at least weekly updates on this location, as I'm sure every Metro Tesla owner is in the Margs region every weekend.

Saw pictures this evening of these stalls being all up and installed! Amazingly fast. Not far from going live, but they're still taped off!

Well at least there is a decent charger for trailer users..... oh hang on a minute.

I have been in there was no way you are getting in with a trailer. Mybe if you park on the footpath

Good to see they are also adding some Destination Chargers as well for those who might want to spend more time parked.

The Margaret River Supercharger is now showing as open on Tesla's site.

Could someone local please confirm that it's operational?

There was talk on a group chat last week of it being finished (visually) and going live "any day now" - so hope you don't mind if I do the honours @corywright

Margaret River Supercharger was switched on and charging successfully from February 23rd onwards, a few days ago it's was reported to be off line (maybe due to some cables still exposed to the public).

Any idea if this is a short term glitch? Should I set it back to 'construction' on supercharge.info ?

 

[Chuq]

Have set back to 'construction' due to the eerie radio silence across all social media!

Good idea, reports from owners down that way have changed the status from working to offline and back to working on a daily basis this past few days.

Interesting also that the map entry mentions the wall chargers as well.
Wonder if this is in preparation for charging for public wall chargers by Tesla.

Heard anything else on this one? There has been one successful Plugshare checkin.. but it's pretty sporadic!

The positive check-in 3 days ago by Dave Smith is the last update I've seen on any format in the last 3 days.

 

[Chuq]

Yeah, definitely would have expected more noise by now!

 

[moa999]

You tend to only get negative reports at Tesla Superchargers (eg. Macquarie in Sydney which I suspect hits 100+ charges a day on weekends has 4 check-ins for March).

So I'd assume by silence it's working.

It's also interesting that Plugshare hasn't automatically shown it as open once it appeared on the Tesla map.

I'm reasonably local, but there are closer owners, and not many of us ever charge in town. I popped in to check this morning and everything is offline and unpowered including the 3xgen3 HPWC's. Looks like the power feeds to everything need proper covers at ground level to finish the job. (the galv covers you can see in the pics posted up this thread are not very sturdy and I assume have another hard cover)

Local S owner and a touring 3 report chargers up and running Sat 26 March, tech on site. Useable, but still some roped off parking entry to negotiate around. Online in the Tesla Nav and App, but yet to be updated as functional on Plugshare.

Apologies for not replying much sooner.
I can confirm that the Superchargers and Destination Chargers are very much completed and fully operational and available. There is a chain (shown in the image below) across the first right hand turn piece of carpark which is intended to prevent people from gouging their cars into the left hand bollard protecting the concrete column as they make a left hand turn into the exit lane. To get to the Superchargers, just take the second right turn and circle back into the piece of road that leads to the Supercharger and Destination Charger stalls.
