Supercharger - Morris, MB

[MarcoRP]

A new Supercharger is coming soon to the Bigway Foods in Morris, Manitoba.

Tesla planning Supercharger in Morris [Manitoba]

According to Tesla’s Find Us map, a new Supercharger is set to be built in Morris, Manitoba early next year. This week, Drive Tesla has learned the station will reportedly be installed at the Bigway […]

Glad they are replacing the only J1772 charger with a supercharger.

Who says replace? I assume this is an additional charger, next door to Tim's.

The floods have receded, the road is open. I saw a lot of construction equipment, thick cables, and thick orange pipe(?) on spools just south of Tim's yesterday. I wonder if Manitoba Hydro is getting a head start on supplying the service power.

That's awesome if they get moving on it this summer. The Telsa site still says Q1 2023, but if they can get it open this fall, that would be huge. ( At least for me).

The Telsa site still says Q1 2023,

Oh. I thought when it was first posted it was Q3 2022 - maybe the flooding has pushed it back?

Morris is a fairly big town, as Manitoba goes, so there should be no problem getting sufficient power from a local feed.

You’re right. They bumped it back. I’m sure the flooding didn’t help. Maybe Elon needs to put a supercharger on a barge for these wet Manitoba springs…

supercharger on a barge

In tonight's news, a Starship returning from Mars landed in southern Manitoba today after the pilot googled 'ASDS coordinates' and accidentally selected a Autonomous Supercharging Drone Ship. No word yet on how many robo-taxies were destroyed in the incident.

Just checked and didn’t see any signs of construction at this location.

… and I just checked too, no signs of construction yet. Nothing worthy of a picture.

It’s a long stretch from either Winnipeg or Prawda to Grand Forks. We just charged at Prawda, stopped here to top off a bit at the Sun Country J1772 at Timmies next door. We really need a Supercharger around here somewhere.

 

[MD-2000]

We had no problem going from Winnipeg to Grand Forks this month, (and back) but I worry how easily this can be done in winter. Model 3 Dual - LR.

What you are most likely seeing is high speed internet infrastructure work going on just about everywhere lately. They use the large orange piping as their trunk line.

Saw this yesterday night. Seems to be for construction??

 

[pb2000]

Matches the permit location, that transformer is new (+supercharger sized) and that looks like a stack of fencing for more work. I'd suggest it's enough for a cone.

Hmm.. still a bit borderline for me!

Might just be a rare case of the utility actually being on the ball, but I doubt they'd bother unless Tesla was making a push to get this in before everything is suddenly -20C for 3 months straight.

Next person who passes through, can you get some more pictures and/or maybe even ask an employee in the Bigway Foods?

 

[MD-2000]

Good. In time for winter. When we came from Grand Forks in the middle of summer doing about speed limit (75mph and then 110kph) we left Grand Forks with 267mi (430km) and got home to Winnipeg with 83km (52 mi). I think it would be touchy to make that trip in the cold months even going a bit slower.

OTOH, maybe Manitoba Hydro understands the concept that stuff that needs to be ready by March or whenever should be done before the snow flies.

It's the amount of construction fence that makes me optimistic that it's not just the Hydro people planning to do something.

From Marco's twitter - looks like construction in Morris is underway?
