Normally there is nothing physically preventing someone from plugging in before they go live except that there is no power. You can check to see if the TESLA LED display at the top of each charger is lit to see if it is live, but it is very unlikely to have the power turned on before it has been tested.

Chatted with a guy on plugshare today who I saw was charging at the animal hospital in Chubbuck. He said he swung by the SC and it looks completely ready but the power is not on yet.

As one who regularly makes the trip from Jackson, WY to Las Vegas I'm definitely feeling the love. Now, after charging at Tremonton on my way north, I have my choice of charging at either Pocatello or Idaho Falls. Which leads to my question. Since those 2 towns are only 50 miles apart I'm curious about the logic behind putting 2 SC so close together?
Not complaining, mind you. Just wondering.

Great to see this. We're heading up that way next month (on our way to the Tetons) and this will be a good stop. Might even stay overnight since that will be about the time limit of our drive for the day.
Hopefully Idaho Falls will be done soon also.

We go from Bozeman to Boise and the road between Idaho Falls and Twin Falls (160 mi) can be quite windy. Having Pocatello as an option will make it easier to go the full speed limit and not worry about the wind. Also Pocatello to Lima, MT (145 mi) could be a stretch in the winter since you have to go over the pass. I'm sure there are other reasons but these are the ones that come to my mind.

What's the status are they live now? I might be taking a trip next week, if they are working I'll take my Tesla.
It's open as of 15 minutes ago. I arrived to find the Tesla field techs just finishing it off. Having hypermiled from Termination en route to Jackson, it was a great relief to top up.
Can't seem to edit but obviously meant Tremonton and didn't mean to post duplicate pics. Sorry, was first post and excited to have been the first to use this most useful SC. Heard rumours that a West Yellowstone SC will be in works soon ...

Last month I drove from California across I80 and then stopped at Twin Falls, Idaho Falls and West Yellowstone Superchargers. These new Superchargers made the trip so easy. Last year we had to drive from Jackson down to Tremonton which was a bit of a stretch. This year it was fast and easy. Didn't even need to stop in Pocatello.

I used to live up in these parts. I cannot imagine that these stations are very busy. Has anyone seen anyone charging?
