I drove by today lookin for a Tesla charging, but they were all empty. I did see a Model 3 at Target and was going to tell him to go plug in and see if they were work.

Are the red TESLA logos lit up? If not, they aren’t powered on.

Ah, good to know. I don't have a Tesla yet.

I can report that the Ypsilanti SC is up and working. I went by this evening, all the lights are on and I was able to charge! I was by there earlier today and the Supercharger crew was there testing stuff out and told me it would be up today, and it was.

Have fun Supercharging everyone! There is a Meijer very close, and Applebee's, McDonalds, IHOP, Steak and Shake, Red Robin (burgers) all within walking distance (and not having to cross any streets).

Well shucks. It opens and I'm in western PA.

I won't complain about having more chargers, but it seems like an odd location that's relatively far away from 23/94 exits. Either dealing with the mess that is the Washtenaw/Carpenter intersection or getting off at Michigan Ave and driving a few miles.

I-94 already had Ann Arbor-Saline Rd.
From US-23, one can get to it via US-12 and Washtenaw exits, less than 10 minute detour.

It may hace a more local focus. There is a lot of housing and apartments in that area; along with being a heavy shopping corridor.

Just drove by Meijer this evening and could see red TESLA light up. And to turbospecc's comment I think it is a weird location. I did tell Zac & Jesse from NYK it is pronounced Ypsi like ippy not yippee

 

[SpartanToJo]

Ypsi worked fine for me, though it did not show up as an active supercharging on my navigation screen.

Agree, not showing up on the NAV system yet, but is working as I’m charging here right now. My car has been sitting for several hours so my battery is cold resulting in pulling about 85kW vs probably the 120kW I’d expect given the SOC on my mid-2016 MS90D. I’m sure the added capacity here locally will be appreciated. Was by the original Ann Arbor location mid-afternoon taking my daughter shopping and all stalls were full, I’m sure many by locals while out doing Saturday shopping. Know if I had been traveling through and needed to charge would have been a pain to wait and then likely getting throttle by shared stalls.

@Chuq she’s open

It's in the phone App, just not in the car NAV yet.

Sitting here charging just fine.
Added 70 miles so far.

Just our of curiosity what is the 3D labeling at the bottom of the charger?

Stall number.
3-Supercharger cabinet
D-4th output from cabinet (v3 serve 4 in the US, v2 serve 2)

That is the designation for the stall. The new V3 superchargers have 4 stalls per each cabinet. So this location being 12 stalls, has three cabinets, and then each cabinet has an A, B, C, D stall. So the 3D refers to cabinet 3, stall D.

And the "Find Us" section of the Tesla web site has finally been updated to show this location as active and no longer under construction! That's over two weeks AFTER it has actually been in service.

Better to do a soft open than find out there is an issue after publishing the new site.

The Tesla "Find Us" page is notoriously slow at showing updates, but updates in the NAV system happen much more quickly..
