Supercharger - Scappoose, OR (LIVE May 2023, 4 V3 stalls)

[MarcoRP]

A new Supercharger is in the works for Scappoose, Oregon!!

Tesla is working with the City of Scappoose and the Columbia River Public Utilities District to install a 4-stall (prefab?) Supercharger near the Watts House in Heritage Park.

Wow! Out of left field! Not even on the Coming Soon map. This will be great coming back from the coast if looping up to Astoria!

75.5 miles from the start of US-30 in Astoria. So a splitter.

What a surprising spot for one! But neat. Now for the love of god, something like this on US12 near Packwood. Please.

Packwood would be fantastic, and also would probably need to be an 8. A lot of folks coming through there.

I saw the Ridgewood, WA addition and my first thought was "That's fine I guess, but more badly needed is on the west side of the Columbia like St. Helens"

Tada!

Tesla's recent Find Us map update has added this location and has an ETA of Q4 2022.

 

[Mrbrock]

Permit was issued last week.

And since that has no mention of Tesla, this will match and confirm.

 

[Ml007]

Tesla's latest Find Us map update has this target opening slipping a quarter to Q1 2023.

Given that a lot of new Superchargers have been activated, including the Fox Tower location in SW Portland (with nobody tracking that one), I'm curious if this is next in line (along with the second Bend location), given what we know so far. Has anyone stopped by this location recently?

 

[Mrbrock]

No inspections on the Accela site and the permit expires in less than a month. We will know soon if it has been abandoned or not.

Drove out here today. No sign of any construction around the building or the park.

Doesn’t look like many amenities around. There is a public bathroom for the park that’s here. There is a coffee shop and a bakery about a block away. It is next door to the police station. It’s not very convenient from here to walk across highway 30 to the shops over there but it can be done.

I also drove out to the location today and just got back! Helpful that there was a kid's playground right next to it to take my daughter. This strikes me as a very strange location for a Supercharger. Though this side of the street is the playground and Scappoose Library, the other side is very residential. It's not a high traffic area. Something like Fred Meyer in town would make a lot more sense (I glanced as I drove by and there doesn't seem to be anything immediately apparent going on in terms of construction).

As @2GoldDoubloons points out, there are zero markings or any indications at all that this spot is being developed (in Marco's post at the top, you can see that the curb coming out is supposed to be redeveloped). If there is a Scappoose location coming shortly, I very much doubt is it is this spot.

 

[Mrbrock]

No dig ticket filed yet so this is likely skipping past Q1 even though the permit has been issued.

 

[Ml007]

Tesla's "Find Us" update today has this location moving to target opening Q2 2023. Again, having been to the supposed location in person, I just don't see it, but maybe it happens after all!

Apparently revised permits are issued and construction starts next week! I will be very curious to see the end product given what I saw in my visit last week.

Per the original post, Tesla is working with the city so the land has to be city owned. The city can’t volunteer property owned by someone else.

Dig ticket has been updated with utilities responses to the marking. There are 2 shown as marked as of 2/21 so anyone in the area should see pavement markings.
