Supercharger - Brandon, FL

[joer00]

Any update? I am driving from Jupiter to Tallahassee via Gainesville and this would make the trip much easier!

When do you drive ? I will stop by this evening, I do believe it will be operable by tomorrow. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

It looks like Tampa might go solar soon. See my post at this thread

I leave in an hour or so. Hopefully it will be online for my drive home! This is my first long distance trip and I am looking forward to it! I have an RV park lined up to charge at hen I get to Tallahassee. Fun times.

Please share your RV location

What is the name and location of the campground you plan to use. I need to travel to Tallahassee from Orlando next weekend. I do not see many charging locations in the area.

Still no progress at Tampa SC Now I doubt this will happen tomorrow

Kaaae, you better go via St Augustine and Lake City. Easy trip all with SC's, no need to use a campground unless you need to go via Gainsville.

Yeah, I'm picking up someone in Gainesville. So far it's been fine.

The RV park is Bug Oak RV Park. We will see how receptive they are when I get there tomorrow.

I tried unsuccessfully to post at 11:30 today, so better late than never:

It does not show up but the meter is powered and appears to be cycling through some diagnostics.
I am guessing they filled select areas of the wood fence and will return to paint it.
This IS like watching paint dry!

Actually, if you go by today and they're painting the wall, it will be like watching paint dry. :smile:

I didn't stop by until 10pm this evening but discovered they did paint the fencing!
Site is still taped off.

At a party last night, I coincidentally met the senior manager of the company who owns the mall - for a variety of reasons he said expect another week before the site goes fully live.

Just heard this opened today!

Just talked to a buddy who said the Brandon Tesla manager told him this SC is open as of this morning! (in Brandon, by the mall)

Can anyone verify?

I have been informed that three of the four Superchargerss should be energized the fourth has a blown fuse.

Larry,
There are 8 charging stations, Do you mean 6 of the stations are operable? ( two stations per supercharger cabinet )

thanks

Looks like a great excuse for me to head to Brandon for a BBQ lunch tomorrow! I'll stop by and check it out.

Don't mention BBQ if Btrflyl8e is near. She might just invite herself to your lunch. :biggrin:

Yes, that is my understanding.

Thank goodness it's finally operational. Unfortunately we won't be back in Florida until mid November.

The icon is now listed on the Model S Nav screen as "Tesla Supercharger Brandon, FL".

It's a "green light" for Tampa

I stopped by around 11:30 today (Thursday) Spoke with the construction manager Ryan, who was waiting for a final landscaping inspection by the County (yes, they are inspecting the bushes, and he can't remove the Orange protective fencing until he gets the OK. My tax dollars at work). He said the fuse problem was a voltage fluctuation issue that he understands has now been resolved. I plugged into 3B and had no problems. Didn't have time (or, frankly, the desire) to check the other stations.

i was already at 196 miles range, but got 391v and 124A charge rate. Went from 196 to 220 in about 15 minutes.

All is well.

(Pics are not uploading, so all you get is this written update!)
