Superchargers - Fair Oaks, IN

[SilverMonk]

Ran across what appears to be the Fair Oaks, IN, "Coming Soon" location, in the parking lot of the Fair Oaks Farm.
Fair Oaks Farm already has several destination chargers.
There are 12 white flags along the border of the lot, each at a parking stripe.
There are a host of flags in the ground near the street, probably for the Tesla equipment boxes and the transformer.
The whole area is fenced off.
There is a portable toilet and a storage/shipping crate, too.
Pictures attached. I placed a red X on the overhead view where the work area is located.

That would be awesome! We travel that way when we go to visit relatives in Terre Haute. We always stop at Fair Oaks as one of our "pit stops". When this goes live, we will need only one supercharging stop instead of two (I have a SR+). Thank you for sharing.

Any news on this spot?

Looks like this station has not yet been added to the Supercharge.info page

I assume V3?

Yup. I can see the thin cables. Everything is V3 now except for the occasional urban station.

Any update?

This is great! I do trips from Chicago to Cincinnati all the time and my kids love stopping at this farm. So much better than stopping in Lafayette.

Looks like it is up and running! . We are staying at Fair Oaks right now. On a whim, I just went over and plugged in and it started charging my car. Not super fast because I was already at 70%, but it still worked. Pulled about 48 kw.

If I'm following the timeline for this Super Charger site, it appears that the actual construction portion only took about 3 weeks. That's fantastic and, if close to accurate, then for 12 charging spots the construction personnel blazed through this project. Kudos to that crew.

I used the supercharger this morning. Nice location!

I saw a couple of Tesla's charging there this morning. A Model Y and a Model S. Were you one of those? I wish I would have walked over to say "hi", but the fam was pretty much ready to head back home. I will actually have some footage of the supercharger in an upcoming road trip video on my youtube channel (MITeslaGuy )

I may have been the Model S. This look familiar?? Was actually about 10:50 am local time; time shown on my center console doesn't seem like it registered Central Time yet and was still display Eastern Time (was coming from the Indy area).

Yep - that was you. That's when we were packing up the car to head home. Man ... I knew I should have walked over to say hi.

I actually decided to drive up to the supercharger based upon seeing your post Saturday night and hoping it would be live so I could add it to my list of superchargers I've visited. Fair Oaks made # 101 supercharger location where I've charged with my mid-2016 MS90D. That will be my last chance to pick any up new ones until probably year end as about time to park my car and get on an airplane later this week as I spend most of my time at the moment overseas.

@MarcoRP @Chuq.
Hot, hot, hot.

 

[lildave]

Yep. That was us as well. We drove over from Central IL as a day trip.
