Does the charger show up in the nav already?Just got done charging at 118 kW...charger 4a....THANK YOU TESLA!!!! And saw and sat in the Model 3 in Bellevue on Saturday...Great carView attachment 280024View attachment 280025View attachment 280026
Not showing up at Find Us | Tesla Is it showing up on nav?
You wouldn't think something like that would be tested before shipping. An electrician dropped a piece of sheet metal in an MCC at work running 13.2KV and blew a 10,000 amp breaker! It was replaced rather that just "reset". He was replaced too.Finally!
But the idea of a Tech replacing a 1200A breaker is haunting me... whatever.
VANCOUVER IS ON LINE! I was picking up a book at the library and a tech was pulling the yellow caution tape from each supercharger. He said it was tested and on line! He replaced a defective 1,200 amp main breaker to make it operational.

I may have met that tech in California in 2016 at the Manteca supercharger. Tesla was moving him to Vancouver, WA in a month to support NW superchargers. He had just been up here house hunting. I guess this will be his home town supercharger.
This guy was from the electrical contractor AKD? that built the installation, not from Tesla. Not sure how he tested it with his Chevy pickup. Probably have a test module of some sort to confirm voltage and communication.
AWESOME! I will be near there in an hour or so and will charge plug in the Black Beauty just so I can say I have done it! Thanks!!!VANCOUVER IS ON LINE!

Charged there this morning. Had quite a scare by missing an exit. Taking it easy made it with 3%. Interestingly the kw fluctuated between 0 and 12 for a good 15mins. Called support and while I was on the phone with them the charge began to ramp up. Most likely low SOC and 34 degrees OT was the culprit and the battery needed a trickle charge first. Ended up with a solid 95kw/320mi before temper
How far had you come from? Battery size and SoC? It's 160 miles from Downtown Seattle to this charger.
B.t.w., "temper" is a thing you do with metal...or with anything if you're in a bad mood. "Taper" is what superchargers do when the battery is more than half full.

One thing you can always predict about Supercharging speed is that you can't predict Supercharging speed.FYI - here's what charging speed over time looks like for a Supercharger. This is my Model S going from 10% charge to 95% charge in about an hour. The temperature was around 60 degrees F, and temperature does affect your charging speed. If it's ~80 degrees F or warmer, the Model S will have to cool the battery, and the charging power drops down to around 60 kW. I haven't measured cold weather effects yet.
I generated this graph using data from FlexCharging, a smart charging app available on iPhone.
