[L.Robinson]

Ecoquent, did you happen to stop by the Monroe,LA chargers on your way to or from Dallas?

 

[Ecoquent]

Will when I head home

Monroe Looks ready to go pole transformers meter and switchgear in place with 800 amp 3 phase disconnect however pedestals don't have anti theft screws installed probably for final inspection and meter was at zero

 

[Ecoquent]

Dropped by the Monroe site. Looks to be ready for inspection, Meter, 3 pole mounted 144kva 277/480 transformers, 800 amp 3 phase disconnect. Meter reads zero. Pedestal covers are on but are missing the anti theft screws

On the way back they were working on the transformer pad looks they had framing up the pour and had installed some conduit general contracting work was moving quickly

Tesla site shows this site n Monroe as coming soon

Someone must have reported it as active because supercharge.info shows it to be so.

It's not shown as live on Tesla's site nor on my car. My guess is that supercharge.info got some bad information, but it should be any day now. I wouldn't consider it live until someone on the ground reports it here, or it shows up on the nav system.

I've never seen a SC without fencing surrounding the Tesla cabinets. Doesn't look complete to me, but fencing should only take a day at most.

It is interesting that this site uses three transformer mounted on a pole instead of one big one mounted on a pad.

I received this email yesterday:

Just got word from a Monroe resident that the supercharger there is open.
Photo attached.

Thanks,

​

Oakdale, MN and Lee, MA have also been reported as open recently but are not showing as open on Tesla's site.

The tesla lettering at the top of the pedestals arn't illuminated in the latest photos though it's hard to tell. I thought this was the main indication that they were live/working.

Is anyone close enough to check and be sure the chargers are actually on? It certainly sounded like it from the e-mail I received but it's too far for me to go test it myself any time soon. I certainly hope I didn't pass on mis-information.

Monroe supercharger not yet working. Destination charger at nearby Hampton inn has 2 ref tesla chargers

 

[donaldm]

Thats 2 tesla regular chargers at the Hampton inn

The supercharge.info site seems confused, listing Monroe as open and most recently 'under construction'. What's going on with that?

Profuse apologies for reporting this as open based on an e-mail but without personally checking it out myself first. It won't happen again.

Not a problem, Susan. We've all gotten bad information once or twice. Thanks for trying. P

Look at the post 5 above yours. Blueshift explains why he changed it to open and then changed it back. He simply goes by the information he receives on this thread and other social media/sources.
