Supercharger - Monument, CO

[g1000x]

Shows up in the car/app for me now

It's already showing up on my map, so that may be part of the reason it's so busy

When the picture was taken it hadn’t shown up in the in-car Nav yet but was showing up just after noon. I imagine this will be a popular stop, beats downtown CO Springs for sure.

I think the forward facing charging spot is more for the M3 and MY. I had to pull my MX ALL the way in to get the cable to plug in.

Will be charging there a week from tomorrow! Thanks Tesla!

According to the Town of Monument planning department, this Supercharger will be built at the Kum & Go (17970 Knollwood Dr).

I haven’t received much more info other than the location, but based on that I would assume 8 stalls will be the maximum we see here. Will add on Supercharge Info.

Just passed by the EZ Go and the charging station is open an I saw two Tesla there charging!

It’s hard to tell how much slack is in the cable from that picture… it’s definitely possible that bollard is too close. You won’t be the only one to have an oops!

Man, they really didn't think that spot through. I can see that bollard will be coming out after some complaints sent in to Tesla. Considering the MX can tow easily and that charger is for those with trailers, I think they really screwed up there.

I tried the aforementioned stall just to check it out and it’s even worse in a Model S. You have to get within <6” of the red post or rose the cable won’t reach and even then your driver door will hit the concrete base of the pedestal if you open it more than about halfway. Removing the sign would help some for those with air suspension but not much even then.

Conclusion: the red post next to the pedestal needs to be removed and the pedestal needs to be moved back at least a foot and preferable sunken into the ground by at least 6 more inches. This is no small task given how little space is available but as it is, this stall is fairly worthless.

i'll be backing in tommorrow!

Wow yeah it looks like they missed the measurements on that stall. Hope they can get the contractors back for a little warranty work!

It's good they opened this charger. No more free 30 minute parking for Teslas in Colorado Springs parking garage. $3, even on weekends when it used to be $1.

Pro tip for Springs though...enter from the east alley and drive right in. No gate or money machine at that entrance. No signs saying parking costs anything either.

Charged an extra 10 minutes in Trinidad and was happy to Skip Colorado Springs!

Excellent stall selection sir! No one will want to pair with you

Pairing? The pictures show that Monument is a V3 site, as expected.

Ah yes. Brain fart. Still nice to be basically guaranteed to not have anyone parked on one side of you.

 

[Windbourne]

Just stopped in here on way to pueblo.
Tesla picked a good site.
K&G was clean and attendants were friendly.
Nice to see.

 

[StephenBrown2]

Yeah, I loved having this stop meaning I can skip the COS parking garage SC. Made for many a good trip to family in Black Forest and friends in the Springs.

Today the app is showing Monument and Craig are totally offline. Is it possible they are installing MagicDock connectors? Are there any locals who could stop by and see what maintenance is being performed?

Monument would be a surprising choice for MagicDock because it is relatively high usage. However, I've learned not to try to predict Tesla's actions based on "surprising choices."
