Supercharger - Moosic, PA

[Lanny]

Perhaps Tesla should pay @SeanDog a $20 "idle fee."

30 minutes being ICEd at South Hill plus 20 minutes on hold with nobody answering.

@SeanDog: Thanks for this report. I've taken the liberty of posting a link to it on the South Hill thread: Supercharger - South Hill, VA

By the way, when you found all of the spots ICEd, did you tell Tesla? It could help them refine their relationship with the property owner.

I've met the Kahill's owner. He's a nice guy and very aware of what the supercharger adds to his property.

Anyone calling the supercharger network unreliable probably hasn't tried to travel using the chademo network.

South Hill is the only Supercharger that I can recall that has no signs at all.

Moosic is listed on the Tesla Find Us page. The Nav. System shows it as Temporarily Closed.

I understand your point but Chademo isn't much of a benchmark. It's a good example of how to do DC Fast Charging exactly wrong. Of course there is NO other benchmark to compare Tessa's Supercharging network to.

I am hoping this is open by Sunday when I drive from downstate to upstate NY (yes, we cut through PA). The Tannersville charger can be very time consuming during high traffic times. The chargers are never full, but where they are make it difficult getting in and out when the center is crowded.

@RDS, I don't blame you for calling ahead. I used to have great confidence in the reliability of the Tesla Supercharger network and the acuracy of the status reporting on the Nav. screen. However, given recent experiences of @SabrToothSqrl and @SeanDog at Moosic along with the multi-day closures at Newark, Knoxville and Barstow last year, I'm sad to say that confidence is waning. Just today, we were driving to a remote Supercharger with the Trip Planner reporting that we'd arrive with 2% charge left. I had no "range anxiety" at all but the thought crossed my mind for the first time ever, "I hope the Supercharger station is working when we get there."

EDIT: added Knoxville.

Indeed, the nav map seems to be out of date in the other way sometimes too--it was reporting limited availability at the Port Hope, ON supercharger one time, even after all stalls were repaired and working again.

@5YJSA Works for me!

 

[RDS]

@Lanny See above. Thanks for the feed back!

 

[nagerseth]

It's up? NICE!

 

[SabrToothSqrl]

It's up? NICE!

I don't think so Tim

 

[nagerseth]

Oh, I thought @RDS was referring to it working. My bad, didn't see the post above it.

Any more photos of the "allegedly open" site? With the kWh meter installed, do you think the construction company tried to pull a fast one? In that powering on the equipment made it appear online to Tesla?

No. Tesla takes the final actions in activating sites. Chances are that it was just a mistake of some sort -- possibly Tesla being careless for some reason (holiday distractions?), or possibly a construction or power company problem becoming apparent only after activation.

Just got an email from Tesla saying it's open... lol. Pics or it didn't happen.

Just drove by after picking up dinner. Two are still fenced off but the rest are accessible and lit up

Well, since you got the official email, I guess you're going to make another trip up, huh?

Of course there is NO other benchmark to compare Tessa's Supercharging network to.

There is, it's called gas stations (runs away and hides).

 

[SabrToothSqrl]

Ehh, been there, so I'm counting it on my list. Still not seeing any pics...

Thanks! If you get a chance to swing by and try them out, we would love to hear what you find.
