I’m not a local, so your suggestions are certainly better from a local perspective. Anything from Troutdale to south of Woodburn is a CF#$@& from my view.
Unfortunately, anything farther south or west of Gresham means that skipping The Dalles is no longer an option, which was an issue discussed here. Kennewick to Wilsonville will be impossible when the Dalles is offline/overloaded (happens a lot). Of course Hood River will eventually alleviate some of these issues, but there will still be a high density of owners throughout the Portland metroplex, so additional well-placed local SCs will also be needed.Personally I like Fred Meyer better than Target, but either one is better than none. How about Target at 21500 NE Halsey St, Fairview, OR? That’s near one of the Fred Meyer stores mentioned above. I also like Target at 9000 SE Sunnyside Rd, Clackamas, OR. Both seem good to me. Having V3s in both of those areas would seem to dramatically improve coverage. Throw in Wilsonville next is just more gravy. Maybe another email to Tesla is warranted.

OK, so that's basically Clackamas Town Center and actually called the "Clackamas Promenade", it's directly across the street. Don't get me wrong, traffic is abysmal on this exit, but most exits south of this are pretty jammed up most of the time.
Yes, that’s exactly the point. With my 2015S70D, I definitely don’t skip SCs unless they are off-line. My last trip through Portland when the Dalles was off-line, I was fortunate enough to discover Sandy, charge to 100%, and just make it home (about 15 mi past Kennewick). This was summer, and a 15 mph tailwind. If conditions had been different, the alternative was hours of L2 charging in an EV-unfriendly eastern OR location or drive over Snoqualmie or White Pass (now that Yakima is online). If you think bad traffic in Portland will ruin a vacation, try driving from the south Oregon coast to Kennewick via Seattle-Tacoma.
No, but maybe. I’ve never received a reply, but some of my suggestions are now permitted (unfortunately two years later).
My guess is that one of them is likely the Cascades Parkway location at IKEA which is labeled NE Portland on the map.
That is not what I am referring to. There is a pin labeled NE Portland and 2 additional pins. It is the 2 additional ones that have not been matched with a permit.
Agreed. Interesting that those two are listed as 3rd and 4th quarters 2022. It stands to reason that the Q3 one is fairly far along, perhaps a resurrection of the Fox Tower parking garage (805 SW Broadway) that was discussed up thread last year. Edit: even Ridgefield isn’t on Tesla’s map and we found that permit 3 mo ago. Something doesn’t jive.
Question is whether the Vancouver pin is for the upcoming service center with SC or maybe it’s for Ridgefield. Portland online portal is address based so without an address it’s a no go. I checked Fox tower and there’s nothing there as far as resurrected permits.
Same with Woodburn expansion. No pin. Sometimes expansions get them, sometimes not. I reached out to Portland BDS to ask. Could find anything on the recently issued/applied commercial permit map they have. Except a new EVGo charger.
Completely agree.
