Another new OneCall ticket on 8/9, this time for the underground horizontal drilling. Anyone see any activity this weekend?

Probably for drilling (or using a mole device) under the main road there to get power from the HT lines across the highway to the site without disrupting traffic much. The “locate” area seems larger than needed.
Done except transformer. Looks like still a roll of wire for going under road as @floatplane said. Workers are smoothing gravel today.

We were there 2 weeks ago and nothing nice ground could be seen. Nice and quick with the precast units.

When everything lines up, Tesla can put these in incredibly fast. It’s amazing. Electrify America should study Tesla’s way. EA’s network is growing so much slower.
I am going from PDX to Tilamook in mid Sept...was gonna rent a model Y for the drive... What are odds this loc is finished by then? I've heard mixed reviews of other charging stations in the area from my family in the area ( who frankly dont get out much ). Any ways just dont wanna get out there and get stranded.
I expect this will be open by Labor Day weekend, but that's dependent on the utility installing the big green transformer.
That said, Portland to Tillamook is only 75 miles (airport is 85 miles). You can easily make it there and back without charging. If you're visiting the Tillamook Creamery, know that they have level 2 charging available. Tillamook Creamery Visitors Center | PlugShare

What Big Earl said.
If you are planning any touring up or down the coast you have probably already noticed the superchargers 49 miles north in Seaside or 44 miles south in Lincoln City. Both are also relatively short detours off alternative routes back to PDX. You'd just need to allow extra time.
A little local L2 charging would do the job if you are not doing a lot of other driving. All three L2 sites in town have been been getting good reviews from Tesla owners on Plugshare, with 10 kW reported at this parking lot and at the Blue Heron French Cheese Co.; 7 kW reported at Fred Meyer. Unless the entire town blacks out for the duration of your stay (unusual in September), that should provide enough redundancy. You will want to make sure the rental folks provide an EV plug (J1772) adapter.
In addition to this. I only use 33% on my MYP from near downtown Portland to Tillamook (Netarts). There are also chargers at Blue Heron and some public ones by the Safeway. You’ll be ok.

V3 Supercharger power systems architecture
Moderator note: The first 22 posts in this thread were moved from a thread discussing the Tilamook, OR Supercharger. I believe each v3 cabinet can draw up to 430A. So about ~300A of buffer between max continuous draw and breaker trip.

Believe it’s the first V3 Supercharger on the Oregon Coast. Enjoy an ice cream or some cheese while you charge!!!
It's been a while since I've been there, but can you actually go through the line and get something faster than your charge will complete? (The last few times I was there I don't think that would be possible.)Believe it’s the first V3 Supercharger on the Oregon Coast. Enjoy an ice cream or some cheese while you charge!!!
