Supercharger - NE Portland, OR (Suggested)

[MarcoRP]

I found a document from HFF in which the company expressed an interest in terms of installing Superchargers at the Jantzen Beach Center. The company was thinking of installing the Superchargers in a vacant lot west of the Burlington’s (pictured), although I don’t exactly know why Tesla would install Superchargers in a vacant lot, already surrounded by parking spaces. The document is from 2017, which would generally be too far back to judge a permit dot, although it was HFF who expressed interest in this project, not Tesla, and hopefully they take interest in using this location for the Northeast Portland Supercharger. I guess we’ll see.

Tesla needs to put a SC somewhere around Portland. They are missing out on a lot of sales from apt dwellers.

What are you talking about? There's one in...[checks notes] Tigard!



[whispers to person behind him] Where's Tigard?

But seriously, there's not even one in downtown Seattle that you don't have to pay extra to park at, and we have many many apartments and condos, as the denizens of Ballard can tell you (if their condo overlords allow them to). Even downtown LA and SF only have 1 supercharger each and that for only 72 kW stalls. The real estate is just too valuable.

Honestly, the purpose of Superchargers is not to serve those who cannot charge at home. It is to serve road trippers. That is why most Superchargers are NOT in urban areas, but on the outskirts and along major highways.

Those are not SC those are HPWC.

Get with the times duder. Tesla has been putting SC in cities for years, it's just happening slower due to lack of property to put them.

"Tesla is building a new version of its high-speed Supercharger stations in cities to make it easier for apartment dwellers to own Tesla cars, CEO Elon Musk said Tuesday."

Still my thinking from a couple weeks ago:

"I am assuming that the Vancouver, WA (Vancouver Mall) SC is the "NE Portland" pin on Tesla's SC map."
