Supercharger - Trinidad, CO

[Panoz]

That is good news - Santa Fe, NM from Colorado Springs is now possible.

As of today, the Trinidad location is no longer on the coming soon map but it is still listed on the 2015 map.

Please disregard, I missed reddy's post from the 15th about the change.

I spoke to one of the crew today that is currently building the Albuquerque Supercharger. He said that they had bid on and won the Trinidad job, but that because of permitting issues (I believe), Tesla has to re-bid the job. He thought that construction might start in August (ugh!).

That could explain why Trinidad moved from 'Opening Soon' to '2015'. In any event, it's a shame that it will miss a lot of the summer travel season. I'll look forward to trying it out in September if it's open then.

Thanks for asking about Trinidad. This is a vital north-south link not only for New Mexico-Colorado, but also those of us in Texas

Thanks for the update. That's a bummer. We really wanted to do a NM trip this year.

Mmmm... maybe the only casino in Colorado!

There was a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the SUPERCHARGER at the Wildhorse Casino and Resort in Pendleton, Oregon yesterday. Check out the photos in another thread:

That said, how cool to know about Cripple Creek! :smile:

Started a separate thread at Wildwood Casino in Cripple Creek, CO.

Hopefully this thread will get busy when Trinidad gets going!

Any incentives, like some free play?

GREAT NEWS !!

Just called the Trinidad Fuel Stop and they say the construction is well underway. They felt it was close to being done.

I asked them to email me some photos, and will see if they come through for us.

Great news, indeed! Can't wait to drive...south.

Oh, is this ever good news! Anyone going thru Trinidad? Please check it out and get a photo. Thanks! Mac

Pleased to hear there's some progress on Trinidad. Photos would be great.

Hoping Trinidad doesn't go the route of interminable, inexplicable waiting like Albuquerque...

 

[reddy]

I am wondering if they are planning to activate ABQ and Trinidad in sequence, if Trinidad is almost done. They are 'only' 250 miles apart.

 

[Barry]

Long haul north of Trinidad, too. 180+ miles to Lone Tree SC or 200+ miles to Denver SC.

Here is a snippet from the Tesla 2105 Supercharger Map. It looks like there will be a Supercharger in Pueblo, CO as well as Las Vegas, NM...

Did a quick Google survey of the neighborhood for food and refreshments.

Found this one:

CannaCo

This will probably be of interest to out of state visitors.

Still hopin' for photos of the construction.

 

[HillCountryFun]

Anyone planning to be in the Trinidad area any time soon? It would be great to get confirming photos of the site showing the exact location and status of the construction!!

Does anyone know if the site is at the Trinidad Fuel Stop or at the adjacent Holiday Inn Express?

Thanks!! :smile:
