Supercharger - Orlando, FL - N Alafaya Trail

[BBryson]

The meter isn't installed yet. Housing for the meter is the first little green box from the left in the second photo.

Some other members will be able to let us know what tasks remain after the meter goes in.

The site is being cleaned up, judging by what captdude said on Supercharger Updates, though I don’t have a reason to believe it was vandalized, or was it?

Carnival, Santas Village, is now gone...
Final electrical work complete...
Looks like it just needs a ribbon cutting

Thanks for the excellent photos.
Yes, it looks like Tesla's contractor has completed their work and it's almost operational. However, it lacks a meter.

Notice in your photo that Tesla's contractor has installed the meter cabinet, but the utility hasn't yet plugged the meter into the meter cabinet. Installing the meter of course is a very minor task, but it is prerequisite before this Supercharger Station will become operational.

Sorry, I missed Bruce's posting #21 which said the same thing.

Swinging by that area tomorrow... I'll check out the meter closer and grab some pics if there are any updates completed... also, does Tesla post when a new charge site goes live/operational...and if so, where?
I'm also curious to see how fast the app recognizes the charging location once live...as of just now, 13 miles away is closest...this will be much closer

I believe it will show up in your car. I didn’t see it yesterday when I visited Altamonte Springs.

Stopped by today (Thursday, 1/31/19) and still no meter.

A photo by @WarMachine on PlugShare. The SC is still not working yet.

 

[BBryson]

No Meter still!

 

[Yosry]

It is operational as of tonight 2/14

Operational, and a little pricier now.

It's working! Short 20minute test at 33kW (throttled back since close to charge limit). Nearby Tesla 3 was at 25% battery and was pumping at 113kW.

I used it yesterday. 92kw. Nice seeing new clean supercharger. Seven spots marked Tesla only. The reminder allow general parking. I would not anticipate this would be an issue due to its location. It is located at the back of a movie theater, but it should be far enough away to not be impacted.

 

[carloscurti]

What was your % when you started?

 

[BBryson]

Does anyone know if there are public restrooms nearby?

I walked to the Target, maybe 4-5 minutes away.

There are a number of restaurants close by, so this should not be an issue during regular business hours.

 

[Anzir]

Arrived with 23% SOC. Charging at 117kW. One other X here with me.

Edit: leaving at 61% SOC after 20 minutes.

Operational, and a little pricier now.

Hi

Welcome to the forum and thanks for the information.

Tesla seem to be all over the place when it comes to posting the rates for Supercharging. Initially it was $.22 per kWh. Then it was raised to $.31 per kWh. Then it lowered the rate to $.28 per kWh after people complained, and as of today that remains the official posted rate on their website. So the $. 26 per kWh that was initially displayed on your navigation system apparently was in error since it is no longer being posted on the nav display.
