Supercharger - Miles City, MT

[outdoors]

I figured out why @PACEMD is giving us daily reports on Miles City.

Had to escape from the bunnies at Billings Supercharger.

In the ditch and in the field I counted around 20 or so. All different colors. Hold on to the dog.

This is actually an alien invasion.... they just happened to look like earth bunnies.

Strange, right? Always a gang of rabbits at the Billings SC. They must get a real charge from hanging out there............

Yeah I've noticed those bunnies in the past but when I stopped there a few days ago the bunnies were really out in full force. I suppose with business being slow at the hotel, they are more comfortable to roam FREE.

They're celebrating the 'after Easter' relaxation before gearing up for next year.

Really excited for this one. It's the last one needed to get to the last of my family. Technically, I can now go out of my way by going through Canada, but this one charger would cut 11 hours off the trip.

I know there's probably some L2 charge option now that's somewhere in the middle, but it's still a really important charger.

Ditto, all your posts, let's add "I can't travel" or do we need to die first? The only thing quieter on what the hold up is, is the tesla car. Enough already. Where is the progress time-line?

I’ve decided against getting a Tesla after all, since they’re not serious about filling this hole in their network. Yesterday, I bought a Kia Stinger. I’m still planning on going electric sometime in the next few years, but I couldn’t keep waiting.

Just cause Tesla’s taking their sweet time doesn’t mean that they’re never going to complete this segment.

Tesla is serious enough that it's has groundwork done and the Supercharger hardware installed at 5 locations between Fargo, ND and Billings, MT, and recently opened Fargo, ND.

But, Tesla is unlikely to try to open the rest until it has the whole string ready to go. I expect the rest of them to be opened soon.

But, it's good to have set a personal time-limit. I expect you'll not have a problem going electric next time.

I, too, have trouble interpreting info. I thought that it was explained that Tesla had finished and the openings were waiting on the municipal electric utility hookup - which you, I and Tesla seem to have no control over. Probably place blame where... never mind - enjoy your Kia and I... should search for the Kia blog to read all the exciting adventures.

It's not the utility companies holding things up it's Tesla. No way, for example, that the Miles City utility company couldn't slam in a meter in 4 months. Tesla has to show up to turn on the juice, activate, and test. The utility company will not just plug in the meter and say, ok, turn it on whenever you please. They will not install the meter until things have been inspected and are ready to turn on...........Turn on, tune in, drop out..........

Finally had to pull out the old reliable ICE pickup truck and drive 140 miles to the closest WAL-MART to refresh supplies. Would have loved to have done it in my Tesla, but couldn't afford the six hour camp.out at the wonderful local KOA. Its okay i stopped by anyway and paid the KOA manager for the three times I used his hookup this winter. Once on an overnight charge at minus 7 degrees. For those afraid of Tesla in the winter I can tell you from experience. Anyway no change at the super charger still no meter. Bummer.

Sometime between Friday morning when I last checked, 6/5/20, and this morning, 6/9/10, the Miles City meter was installed. The power has not yet been turned on/stands activated.

@PACEMD Have you had any chance to look around Bighorn or Custer for potential SC activity in recent travels?

The Tesla electrical crew told me back in February that the site would be Forsyth. At least that was the rumor some months ago. I have been through Bighorn and Custer recently with no noted activity. Last scoped out Forsyth last month, nothing suspicious that I saw, for what that's worth, which ain't much.........

 

[PACEMD]

Not turned on this am, will check tomorrow morning and next Sunday...........

 

[PACEMD]

No go yet........next report will be 6/14/20..........
