SuperCharger - North Bay, ON

[GarthG]

This has to be one of the longest construction periods for a SC - we are now approaching five months.

... and don't even to start to count the YEARS that this site has been in the "coming soon" category

 

[wayner]

For sure - I commented on that in post 2 of this thread. I have owned my Model S for 4.7 years and I think it has been coming soon that whole time. I am pretty sure that this is the most delayed "announced" Supercharger in Canada.

Negative Kemo Sabe. Check out the "Construction/Permit Status Days" section on supercharge.info. There are some sites that are a lot longer...

In Canada? I am only referring to Canadian sites.

Not even in the top three.

Salisbury, NB: 130 days
Quispamsis, NB: 112 days
Woodstock, NB: 110 days
North Bay, ON: 102 days

I imagine those dates are from supercharge.info but I am going from this thread. Post 1 of this thread was April 16 and said that work has begun - I don't know if that is accurate, but if it is then that was 148 days from yesterday.

And in post 47, OP clarifies that post 1 was actually when he heard it was “coming soon,” not confirming that work actually began. Regardless, this site is like many others... waiting for equipment.

You keep changing the parameters of your statement!

I'll give you an F+ for debate skills

 

[wayner]

I haven't changed anything. If I take post 1 of this thread to be correct then North Bay has been under construction for 148 days.

But it turns out that post 1 was incorrect. So the North Bay SC has not been under construction since April and I am wrong.

No changes yet at the site, haven't seen any workers all week. Will post if I see workers... On another note, construction workers are on site right next to the superchargers working on a Dairy Queen Right in time for the winter lol..

Thank you all for your information and also to another club member who pointed me towards this thread/ post.

I Purchased model x 100 spring 2019. Love it! Local driving in mid Ontario north of Barrie is easy esp toward GTA.(greater Toronto area) Heading towards NorthBay or Sault Ste Marie remains very difficult due to lack of charging infrastructure. Leaving Temagami at 520 pm, 3:45 hr drive is now to 3 am rather than 9 pm. Thankfully possible due to charger at 72A at Ramada Inn in North Bay.

Can see a site development at Canadian Tire near Hwy 11 and 17. Slowly making some changes. Not operational as indicated in Musk Post of 2018. Lovely response from Tesla support. Indicating it is coming.

It has been a slow drive and fabulous summer. Certainly not one that will promote Tesla sales north of GTA presently, I would think. I also imagine in the future, we will look back and go... remember when... (it took 10 hours to come home)....

optimistically yours, Laurie

Happened to get a hotel room overlooking the work. It’s too early to see workers, but still no change.

Are they building something ELSE in the red fence enclosure? There’s a Porta-potty...

 

[sheamurai]

I've heard a Dairy Queen is also being built at that location, tho I'm not sure exactly where it will be.

Just in time for Winter! Yes.....

A DQ in our small city stays open through winter. I know this because I once crossed town during a snowstorm to get my wife a Blizzard. (She was sick and getting her one so she'd eat something was worth the trouble.)

A big tent next to a set of Superchargers... can mean only one thing... you've discovered the location of the new Model Y assembly line!

Interestingly, they just recently built a D.Q. fairly close to where the Brandon SuC will be located. This is our third D.Q., but it is the first one with a drive through. One has been here for well over 50 years and the other is inside a mall food court. They just opened the one by the SuC a few months ago. Cool Treats & Hot Eats!

Just watched a commercial by Petro Canada that indicates you can now drive coast to coast in Canada using their EV charging network. Come on Elon ... keep up.

There was extensive discussion of the falseness of this claim on this thread: Supercharger - Brockville Ontario

The PetroCan marketing department is taking a lot of liberties with reality by making that claim.
