Supercharger - Robbinsdale MN

Cones are still up. But the activity appears to be that of sweeping the pavement and tidying up the place.

All sites still need to be commissioned by Tesla before they begin working. Even if the power is on and the meter is installed. But I suppose that all could still happen in time for your big grand opening shindig.

Another pic from another angle, in case you wanted to see the cones. They were stacking the fence pieces into the pile.

Anyone swing by today?

At 6pm tonight there is a MN Tesla group event there. I’m sure we’ll get details if is up and running.

Well, as of 5pm, it basically looks the same as my pic above

Sigh of relief!

Sigh of relief!

... relief that they didn’t have to redig the whole thing again?

He relieved that he didn't drive there only to find that it was still closed.

Cones and caution tape are still in place.

I have a bad feeling about these being ICED frequently. They are way too conveniently located next to the Starbucks.

Generally speaking, it isn't much of a problem. I've visited over 400 unique locations and there are a growing number of locations where the superchargers are on the side of the building or otherwise close. I've never seen a significant icing problem except for Mount Hope, WV and Marlton, NJ. The big red and white stalls seem to have a bigger psychological effect than other charging stations. Conversely, where I've seen the worst icing is at hotels where rigs with trailers sometimes block the chargers even though the chargers are usually behind the hotel and in the back corners of lots.

I wonder if the psychological effect there is when you put a charger further away from entrances that tends to also be where people with large trailers and vehicles tend to park because they need extra space.

Tesla on site setting up chargers. The guy said it should be up tonight!

 

[Bg2580]

[VIKING26]

Gitty Up!!!

 

[Bg2580]

There appears in the photo to be a post between each charger - is this for a sign indicating the parking is reserved for charging?

Yes there will be a sign indicating stall restrictions. Likely some proportion will be strictly reserved for charging only and others will still be available for general parking use with a time limit. It depends on the site, each location is different.

Trips to the cities just got a whole lot more convenient!

Now it's time to start complaining that we only have two supercharger locations in MSP.
