No, the battery was not cold. I had driven for about an hour. I was at about 59% when I plugged in. I plugged in more out of curiosity then need.
In my experience, 1 hour of driving in these temperatures isn't enough to warm up a Model 3 battery pack enough for fast charging. Anyway, I'm sure others will report their findings soon.

What was the outside temp when you charged? If your battery isn't warm enough, it won't ramp up the charging speed. I had that happen recently and it lasted for about 5 minutes and then the charger got "up to speed".

Wow. It’s been a while and glad to be back.
I am local and will check on this tomorrow. Did a double-take when it showed up on my “nearby superchargers” list on the app tonight. Rumor of superchargers at that sheetz had been circulating locally for at least a year, so I stopped looking. Will sniff around tomorrow. Stay tuned.

Yep, it'll be the first new-to-me supercharger of the trip. I did a rough count and I should add about 50 new superchargers on this trip...... on your way to TX?
Never-mind, I'm currently in Colonial Heights VA. The GMaps link on supercharge.info page is incorrect and links to a location in Petersburg, VA, they need to fix that. I'm not from the area and didn't realize that's a 3 hour drive from where I'm at LOL.

Well, peeps, I can confirm that STAUNTON SUPERCHARGER IS LIVE! Was only pulling 91-99mi/hr, but my battery was near-full and well, it is 25 out. I'll stop again when I actually need. So, come to Staunton, everyone! Get away from you big-city bustle- lots to do here. Shakespeare, cute town, culture, music. Home to world-renowned Heifetz string school and the American Shakespeare Center. And our gas stations serve joules. Thanks, Elon!

Had been making routine RT to C-Ville from Winchester October-December. Yesterday I made the trip again and assumed it would route me to the Mount Jackson location (per Norma), however it had me go here. I had no idea it was there, but this is a perfect location at the intersection of two major highways. Was getting over 400mi/hr.

Hit Staunton today on my trip to Florida. 1B went up to 97kw on my 75d. Not bad for my 122,308 mile 2016 S.
