Supercharger - Waukesha, WI

[kipper777]

As of a facebook post yesterday:
"Transformer is in place!! Still no meter yet."

If anyone is driving through the area this week, check for meter install. Could go live any day now (finally).

There’s hope they might get this one completed by the end of the Month. It’s a real possibility WI might have 3 locations go Live this month.

Wow...these might be live before the next time I visit the area in August. Very odd that it took this long, but I remember the Oak Creek chargers taking forever to finish as well.

I saw and took pics the other day. Looks like we may be close. I am driving by today and will check to see if operational.

Having the Meter on site is the last major indicator it’s getting close. If it’s there, it shouldn’t be much longer, barring any SuC equipment issues that might need resolving.

Update: 6/12/23. I had to make quick run to Milwaukee last night. I stopped in on my return trip. Still NO Meter and there is a fair amount of landscaping to be finished. All of the signage and Light polls are up.

Drove by yesterday. Same, NO meter and landscaping to do. My educated guess is that WE Energies is taking their time to come out and install the meter and test the system to make sure grid level protections are in place. My experience with WE is that they are not a very responsive company to customer requests, even when request would make them more money. Working with them as an individual B2C customer is quite different then working as a B2B corporate customer. But, hey what do I know. It will eventually get hooked up and running.

Oh so close...
Everything except a half day of landscaping and....the meter.

My folks are driving to Milwaukee this weekend and this SC would be super handy for a variety of reasons. Gonna keep a keen eye on this thread. Thanks for all the updates everybody.

I wouldn't count on it. No meter is installed. After one is present Tesla still has to do their work to validate it.

How long does it typically take for Tesla to activate the site after the meter has been installed?

Anywhere from A few days to a month. Lake Delton had a live meter for 3 weeks before Commissioning. I gotta believe the team will push to get this one online by the end of Q2 though.

My favorite time frame estimate, at least when some of the slower utilities involved, is "sometime between tomorrow and the eventual heat death of the universe."

So true. I stopped by today, still no change

The universe has still not had its heat death. Checks out.

 

[Mbotteri]

No meter as of today.

 

[fwiw]

Today's update......
There is no update. No need for new pictures. Look at my pictures from ten days ago. Nothing has changed. Nothing.

Yeah, this one has become the longest Under construction location in Wl 7 + months. I’d love to know what the hold up is. In contrast Fitchburg went from construction Start to operational in 6-7 weeks and they didn’t use PSU’s.

Utility company I’d say…
