Supercharger - Three Rivers, Tx

[TMC Bubba]

I passed by Friday on my way down to Corpus and the fence was gone. Local news in Corpus announced it had opened. Link below. Im a few months from getting my own Model S but having a supercharger on my weekly commute makes me want to pull the trigger now.

Tesla Supercharging Station open in Three Rivers

The news report did not actually say it was open, they simply said some people discovered it. The part of the video showing cars charging was file footage, it was not taken at Three Rivers. Furthermore, Three Rivers does not yet show up on the Navigator, so I'd say they're really-really close to being done, but not proven until we see the lights on the arches.

When they showed the TESLA on an arch in the news report, it didn't appear to be lit. If anyone wants to check it out, I wouldn't rely on it being open.

The Corpus TV commentary was unambiguously positive. Now if they can influence the Texas legislature, maybe Texans will be able to buy Tesla in their own state.

I passed by after posting on my way to San Antonio and all the construction equipment and fencing around the chargers was gone. So perhaps it just needs to be turned on? Are there usually events around a supercharger launch or does Tesla just turn them on without fan fare?

IME they are simply activated and locally organized fanfare, usually TMC-organized, follows. I have twice used newvSuperchargers that had not yet had any for,al announcement.

Any news on this? My wife is looking to go from San Antonio to Corpus Christi and back on Saturday for our son's soccer game and a supercharger is pretty imperative.

I'm still hoping that Tesla will update their site to show this one as active today (11/9) but if not, perhaps someone with a Tesla will try it out and report back. Hopefully it will be live for your soccer trip -

Hi Cattledog, did you guys end up trying this Supercharger Saturday? Any luck?

Thanks -

All, we finally made it down to Three Rivers but without the Tesla. The site is VERY nice and looks totally complete including the transformer, meter and gratuitous street lights. While the Manager said the charger was open the meter showed flashing zeros so I'm a little suspicious if it's really operational.

I just tried to charge but they are not working yet. This is at 2:30 p.m.

Tesla is showing 2 SC in south TX as coming soon. Is that new?

Yes, it sure is! Getting close to Corpus Christi, either Calallen or Robs Town. Also, the last time this happened and a coming soon location popped up, Three Rives was almost totally built! This new site might also be nearly complete!!

Drove by last night around 9, didn't stop, was well lit and easily accessed, but no cars charging. Not sure if energized.

Were the TESLA LEDs lit at the top of the pedestals? That is a reliable indicator of whether they are energized or not.
