Supercharger - Medway, ME

[ItsNotAboutTheMoney]

I did a the same itinerary on 9/5 leaving on 9/8. (perfect Catherdral/Summit/Knife Edge day Friday). Just enough for the round trip. I did turn off the climate and the interior lights, and din't lose that much. I did hear a comment on one of the Tesla podcasts that a "camping" mode might be coming in V10. Wasn't sure if it was an entertainment thing or a real, shut it all down to save charge idea.

That threads suggests Keep Climate On and other tips for Model 3 camping:

Model 3 camper mode equivalent

Obviously, a dedicated mode makes things easier since there would be no settings to reset.

"Camping' mode, when it has been described before, has had nothing to do with saving energy if you happened to be out in the woods. Rather it has been a mode that the car could go into if you intended to sleep in your car. Climate would stay on, lights and touchscreen would go off, and so on.

Sentry mode on?

No.

These were not here yesterday!

Finally! Great news! Maybe the October Rally will go on?

Sorry, no.
1. Chance of them being energized is low and
2. I already have other plans.
But I still hope to squeeze in a test run before the first snow.

Unless someone's been to to the Medway Superchargers recently, I will pass by there tomorrow on my way up to Limestone, Grand Falls and Saint Leonard. I can check the progress. Was hoping they'd done by now.

Hey MaineReason - I had to do a double-take when I saw your handle. Nice to see you here.

Hey JSergeant!

Yep, finally got on here. Looking forward to todays long ride up north in the Model 3. Visiting my oldest son at the Maine School of Science and Mathematics for the weekend, where he's a 1st Year (9th grade) there.

Hoping that new Supercharger is up and running in Medway, Maine and I will check out the one in Saint Leonard, NB for sure.

We all miss you over at the WhatsApp group. You were a popular subject there yesterday afternoon .

Appears to be all wired and complete. Area around it cleaned up. Fence around it though.

Salisbury, NB came up this morning; Tesla seems to be at Quispamsis, NB working on commissioning it. Perhaps they'll finish today and head up to Woodstock, NB next before heading down here to Medway, ME to light it up!

 

[Exsangus]

Quispamsis is up now, hopefully Medway will be up tomorrow or the day after. Looking forward to being able to use the heater on trips down south this winter!

Permitted , confirmed 9/15/18
Big Stop just off the highway. There is construction for new tanks and gas pumps and they may be waiting until that is finished but the installation may actually be at the adjacent park and drive area.

A riverside park just down the road has 40 A on a pole in the meantime. Ran onto a little Tesla time with a BMW3 owner who wants a Model 3 and his daughter has a Mini but wants a Model X. Not so boondocks after all.

Fence is down but it is not yet live! Maybe today!

 

[SupraDude]

Saint John, Moncton and Woodstock all went live this week! So hopefully this one is not far off! I'd think it would be their next stop!

 

[Tdreamer]

Not open yet (I elected to call the Irving station instead of stopping enroute to Baileyville)

 

[Farmer]

I drove by late evening on my way to Houlton. It's not lit yet so I guess next week sometime, maybe after the holiday.

Whoever activated the sites in Canada probably isn't authorized to work in the US. It may require a separate team for the locations in Maine.

I was considering that possibility as well. Seems likely that they'll try to get all Maine under construction sites done in one trip to the area. Not sure what the current state of the Skowhegan site means (ie. will it delay activation of Portland, Medway and Jackman until this site is also ready).
