Supercharger - Spokane, WA

[VandalSibs]

Was here Monday night. Was pulling more like 175 at 25%. Faster than a 150, so I was happy. It was fast enough that my buddy was impressed.

What are you driving? I'm pretty sure that the SR+ tops out at 175 (like me!), so if that's the car you have, you were getting max speed.

Well then, ignore my message!

Been temporarily closed since the 21st? Wondering what's up??

Still showing as temporarily closed on the in-car screen. Seems odd . . . going from one station out to all stations out and still down three days later. Or maybe long outages are the norm?

 

[ReddyLeaf]

Moses Lake was also showing closed on the nav, but was working fine. Perhaps the same here?

Any updates on this? I am planning on heading through next week and if it is still showing down I will change up my stops.
Thanks all

PlugShare has a report from yesterday PM saying all stalls were out of service. Two Teslas tried them all.

I might be heading to Spokane this weekend. I’ll plan my trip to avoid a need to charge there, but I’ll stop and try them if I pass by.

I drove to Spokane and back this morning, and stopped by the Spokane Supercharger to check it out. There were no visible signs of damage to explain the outage, but the one stall I tried (the third from the north end) did not work at all. I had stopped at Ritzville to pick up a few kw-hr, as I expected Spokane to be out of service.

 

[EV-Methow]

Has anyone else tried recently? Still shows as closed on the nav. Thanks.

 

[Ry3n]

I checked in just before I left town yesterday, still out.

I heard that 'a lot of construction is going on involving power lines and such' so that might be a cause.

In car nav still says it is down. Any boots, er I mean, tires on the ground to confirm?

Yup, still down. I live just a mile ish away, plugged in to check. Funny though that 4 are lit up at night, but don't let it fool you, still offline.

Anyone else try recently? I hate to have to dust off the ICE for a needed Spokane. Thanks.

wrong thread, but.... Moses Lake is offline, too. We swung through there yesterday (just in case). Plan accordingly.

I’ll cross post to that thread.

It's been off for a while. What are the conditions for it to be updated as "Temporarily Closed" on supercharge.info?

 

[ChrisH]

Do we still not know why these various locations are closed? I’m taking a trip to cannon beach and if seaside was randomly closed that would make it somewhat interesting

uhoh -- i hope that there isn't a flaw in those early v3's.

Always plan for a Destination charger on these kind of trips. As reliable as Tesla is with Superchargers, there can be hiccups. Give it a few years as buildup of charging locations continue. Think of gas cars back in early 20th century. (they sometimes had to wait days for gasoline to arrive to a gas station). At least for EV's things have improved from that. But remember... if there is an electrical outlet nearby... you can charge.

true true. Thanks for the reminder. The recent addition of Kelso really helps too. Probably would be okay charging at kelso and making it back after a few days out at cannon beach and Rockaway (especially with some miles gained at tillamook cheese factory)
