Supercharger - Washington, PA

[MarcoRP]

A new construction pin for an 8-stall V3 Supercharger has appeared for Washington PA at the Giant Eagle (331 Washington Rd). No photos have been published publicly, nor has a thread been created. @tes-s says he saw the photo on a private Facebook group for Tesla Pittsburgh. Discussion for the Supercharger will continue here.


Will link the pin to here

Here are some photos. Posted by Eddie Daniels on Twitter.

Just a side-note, there are also some pedestals bases on the side. Does that mean that this construction crew could be heading to a different Supercharger afterwards?

Based on the pictures posted of the site, the pin needs to be moved a little bit. The supercharger is actually going in right next to the GetGo gas station.

Nice to see. Will be convenient to grab ChickfilA before charging From what I remember there isn't much traffic on Manifold Rd. coming off I-79 from Pittsburgh, so it might help to bypass the busy interchange in one direction.

Now that should speed up install time. precast bases being pumped out.

I'm kinda surprised they arn't doing a supercharger in a sea container for shipping. everything into one container and drop it off on location for install. might be a weight thing

 

[MarcoRP]

Not much news, but the pedestal bases have since been removed and the crew is gone. TslaPA on Twitter

lol at them putting the expansion joints on the conduit between the 2 clamps on the rack.

Anymore updates on this location opening? Have a trip soon and would love to be able to use this supercharger.

It looks like the power company was there putting in their equipment at the end of last week. Does anyone know when it will be operational?

 

[MarcoRP]

Transformer is in!!

 

[and01854]

I spoke to someone from Tesla doing the final inspections. It is possible that 4 of the eight superchargers my be operational by tomorrow.

Looks official!

I charged up yesterday at 5pm. I am the happiest person in Southwestern Pennsylvania.

Successful charge today on my way out of town! Seems like only half the stalls are working.
