Supercharger - Wilsonville, OR (LIVE 17 Nov 2023, 8 V4 stalls)

The vehicles they chose were quite diverse. One appeared to be a 2017 Model X from my eye. Not sure what that would provide them if they were testing V4 capabilities.

Guess I should have stopped to take a pic

Someone mentioned having their vin decoded for options and a line item indicated the onboard charger was capable of 300kw.

DC Fact Chargers (aka super chargers) don't use onboard chargers.

That was probably one of us with older cars back when they offered them with the dual onboard ac chargers. (72A in my case.)

No, it was a 2023 Model Y. It was in one of these V4 threads. The line item for the charger mentioned 300kw capabilities.

Supercharger - Bakersfield, CA - Camino Del Rio Ct (under construction Aug 2023)

States V3 June 2023 so nothing new. Still 250kw per post output and 387kva max total output. Thanks for checking!

If they were testing 300kw, they were probably just testing the power sharing capabilities between cabinets if one of the newer vehicles was drawing 300kw. But they’d need a 1000kw generator to test at full load and that one doesn’t appear to be that big so who knows what type of testing they are doing.

Both statements slightly incorrect.
On-board charger wasn't/will not ever have that much power to charge
What it does have is a bypass route (relay n buses) to feed DC charge straight to the battery and that needs to handle the current of 300kw
But also all the wires need to handle 300kw..
So, more correct would be to say "wiring capable of 300kw"

72a was just a beefier AC charger (technically any ac charger converts to DC, but u get the point)
We're talking about DC coming from the plug directly to battery so on-board charger is bypassed.

If you click the link I posted, that’s exactly what it says. I apologize for not copying and pasting instead of just linking in my earlier post.

"CH16 Charger 48 Amp PCS1 Charger Hardware (RENA) w/ Busbar improvements allowing 300kW charging"

And unless you mean dual chargers as was posted before, it (72A) was not a “beefier” AC charger. It was literally 2 separate 32A chargers.

I've never heard of dual 32...
Earlier model S's had 40Ax2
I have X with single 72 amp charger
Pretty sure it was same charger used on S later..

Sorry, I did dual 40 with the 20% rule and got 32. They were dual 40 to account for 100A with the 20% rule (80A charging). Doh.

So this morning testing signs were up and fences in place. Just drove by now and fences are loaded up and getting hauled away. Also, no sign of testing signs

So now can you get pictures of the placards on the charging cabinets all the way at the back?

Moderator note: This thread plus a couple follow-ups were merged in from a different thread.

I was able to plug in for a photo op but nothing happens as far as charging activity. Does anyone here know when they go live?

 

[GHammer]

Has the transformer been installed? Last we knew it wasn't so it's waiting on that. BTW, there's already a thread tracking this site.

250kw magic dock plus LCD screen. Still no transformer

 

[pdx_m3s]

Nice. So same V3 cabinets.

 

[cabbey]

Haha. I must have missed uncle by a couple hours. Just came by with my long lens and high resolution camera to pedestal paparazzi the place and discovered the same.

 

[GoLamberts]

Oh cool I'll take a look there for updates! Thanks

 

[Toy Man]

But there is a nice pad waiting for the transformer.

 

[theaterlightma]

still no power, good for photo ops though

 

[mtf16]

Some more details. Note the difference between the 500V and 1000V NACS plugs. The 1000V version doesn't have the center pins the in DC holes.
