Supercharger - Metter, GA

[zosoisnotaword]

Three hours ago navigation told me this location is temporarily closed, but I called Parkers and they said some of them are working. No status changes on Plugshare or supercharger.info. Someone on Plugshare checked in yesterday. I messaged him and he said all was well and navigation didn't say they were closed.

I'm heading to Charleston this afternoon and should reach Metter around 1900 EST, so if anyone has a solid status on this location I would appreciate it. My only other options are to hit the L2 charger here while we eat and then coast into Savannah, or go out of the way to the Macon SC.

I was there last Saturday and they seemed to work, got up to about 230kw per for a couple minutes then it went down to 140kW (started at 9% SOC) but tried several stalls and never got V3 speeds again. Perhaps they are performing maintenance or tweaking things?

It was working when we stopped briefly last night for a quick top-up.

At Metter, hitting 63kw/192mi/hr. Not ideal, thought would be higher being a new SC. No one else charging.

Did you try any other stalls there? I hit 163kW on the stall with the trailer config, in early January. It does seem like the Metter site has a number of outages and trouble in general.

Stopped by Metter a couple of times last week. There were 2 stalls not working and it did show them on the map. Also got a great 0-60 on the on ramp (Model 3 AWD+). Was a little down hill so I thought that was make invalid but says low GPS for some reason. Are V3 electrons more potent?

Do you recall which stall you got 236kW out of?

Yes but they are not numbered (V3). In the past I have got 248kW out of one of the stalls that was out of service this time.

It was the back-in stall next to the trailer spot closest to the main road.

EDIT: Looks like it was 238kW and was on T-Day which was a couple of days after it opened.

For those Raven folks out there, I hit 199kW at the Metter site from the trailer stall #8, impressive compared to max 150kW on v2 sites. Now if we could get more V3 upgraded SC sites!

 

[JulienW]

Broke the limit.

2 great looking Model 3s. I should have been there with my Red Model 3 to make it 3 great looking Model 3s!

@Chuq @coryright @MarcoRP Please update the location to 32.378954, -82.062608.

If anybody is passing through Metter, chances are you are driving the length of I-16 and we could use some help with checking out a likely construction site in Dublin. If you are traveling on I-16 between Macon and Savannah, when passing by Dublin please take a 5 minute detour to the Burger King there and take a look at this site for us! I'm expecting the construction to be right next to the existing Georgia Power DCFC site. If you do stop by, please report what you found in this thread:

A little Metter love/hate and an observation. Anyone who has used know it is confusing with access to 7 stalls (and 2 shared) with a detected Tesla entrance (with ICE/Parker's pulling mistakenly in) and access to 1 stall (and 2 more shard) at the Parker's store. When I pulled in on 24th only A1 was available but there is NO WAY to get to it. I bet that stall has NEVER been used since you can only access it if no one is there and you did a 5 point turn to back in and you still may not line up. What a pooooor design. Even though a couple of spaces were open they were being used by Tesla's on the Parker's side. What poooor design. Luckily one was unplugging as I was maneuvering around like I was on FSD Beta.

Can anyone try and use A1 (especially with a Tesla in A2), post a pic and tell me I can't drive?

Here is a couple of pics I took on the way back on X-mass day and you can see that there is less than a parking space of length to pull up and the tiny curb inlet is useless for anything.

It's ridiculous, but you could probably get to it if you back in FROM THE STREET

Not necessary, but it can be a bit tricky to get into the spots.

Basically 4 of the 8 are pretty easy, 2 kind-of OK and 2 very tricky.

You can get into 1A? All the others are doable but 1A is the REAL problem. Please post a pic next time you do this because I'm not sure it can be done without hitting the curb. Especially if there is a car in 1B then 1A is blocked. If there is a car in 1B I think ChrisC is correct and you would have to back in from the street, which is a death wish and at best obtuse looking. Also A1 is never going to be used since even if there is no car at 1B it is 100x easer to get to 1B over 1A. So 1B will always be used and 1A will be blocked and unaccessible.

EDIT: Just think how much fun it is going to be for anyone with a Cyber Truck trying to get to any of the spots?

That was exactly my thought at the parkers in hardeeville on my last stop there. It is even more cramped than this one appears to be.

The four wheel steering will help some, though.

Easy

. Drive up, parallel, turn right into trees, reverse into spot.

Exactly. For Cybertruck, the curb does not exist.
