Theory - Cadillac Fairview and Tesla partner for SC sites?

[MarcoRP]

I've got another question on this topic:

Why have none of the the CF Superchargers been completed yet? Don't say that it's because of the shopping season because Vaughan and Barrie-Bayfield are also shopping malls and they've been completed. In Laval, they have to do some trenching and I understand them but, in Markham, there has been not a single Supercharger up for two months after it was found! Same thing for Etobicoke. Hamilton has actually been going. Mont-Tremblant, discovered less than a few weeks ago and it's almost ready. What is taking so long?

could be inspections by the city

Rideau Centre is a CF mall so at least one of them is up and running. I doubt that is specifically a CF issue as others are often stuck for a while - Barrie Bayfield was found at what looked like a completed slate of SCs on Oct 22 but it didn't go live until Dec 9.

As I noted a few months ago, the same contractor bid and won Hamilton, Etobicoke and Markham. It may be that they shuffle workers to the sites and complete elements in order, meaning, do the same job at one site one day, then move to the other site the next day and repeat that job, etc.

Not worried about the timing, there aren't any trips my family takes that any of these sites help with. I'm still looking forward to Cambridge.

Looks to me like Tesla considers even the new Vaughan SC to be "close enough" to replace Lawrence, as Lawrence has shown "reduced service" since Vaughan came online.

Techincally the "Vaughan" SC isn't under construction yet - the one you are referring to is known as Concord.

How come nobody noticed, Eaton centre supercharger has already opened

Because it only appeared on the Tesla site probably in the hour before you posted!

So someone did notice - you

 

[skhenry81]

Nice find!

 

[waterloo42]

That's great! Anyone know how you get to it?

 

[MarcoRP]

Anyone want to schlep around the parking garage at the Toronto Eaton Centre looking for signs of an SC installation?

Oops!

 

[Avronp]

SmartCentres Vaughan, is that an option for the Vaughan SC?

 

[MarcoRP]

Yes. This might interest you Smart Centres Future Superchargers in Ontario, BC and Saskatchewan

Is SmartCentre Vaughan the same as SmartCentre Woodbridge or are they two separate sites? We already have one in Vaughan at Vaughan Mills.

 

[MarcoRP]

They’re separate. There are two Vaughan sites but I assume that they will use the one along the 407

 

[wayner]

Ok, so there are two sites. I wonder which site they will use - surely it won't be both will it - since there already is one in the city of Vaughan called Concord at the Vaughan Mills Mall? As I mentioned in a previous thread - you would think that two is more than in enough in the city of Vaughan, especially since the vast majority of Tesla owners in Vaughan would live in single family homes and have the ability to put in charging at home.

Bathurst and Center is condo heaven - East of Yonge has townhouses for miles - its that or North of Promenade Mall - there is a Smartcentre there as well - lots of space for SC and access to food.

Oops!

problem is people were looking in the eaton centre, not the BayDundas Impark parkade.

 

[wayner]

It is kind of the same thing and Impark is owned 50% by Cadillac Fairview and 50% by OTPP. Cadillac Fairview is 100% owned by OTPP.

Which means nothing for directions
