Woodburn SuperChargers Found

[Frankc]

I obviously can't judge your ability to access "sources in a position to know", but given that the transformer still needs to be installed, power to the area cut, everything connected, inspected, tested...
I sure hope you are right, but I'm somewhat skeptical. Or is it "afraid to believe you"? :biggrin:

Edit: a little more looking shows that you seem to have very good inside sources at this site indeed. I guess I should apologize for my skepticism. 10am next Thursday. I'll be there and buy you a latte

No problem with the skepticism. Frankly I was as well - and execution hiccups when installing the xformer, permits, etc can obviously still derail the 'plan of record'. Let's keep our fingers crossed that when we hit the 'lightning bolt' on the model s map app next Thursday, we get a ping at Woodburn....

Well, it's on my calendar now and I'm planning to be there

Announcement:

I have heard from two independant sources that should 'be in a position to know' that the official ribbon cutting ceremony is currently scheduled for 10:00 am on Thursday, August 29th. No more detail at this time, but looks like by this time next week we will be able to go from Vancouver BC to south of Eugene via free Super Charging. For me, it will allow a trip to see the grandkids in the Tesla.

I have not heard anything regarding the next SC site. Let's all start a chant for 'Odenator the magnificent'. :wink:

Good eyes and ears, Frank. Thank you!

FYI, I was there last night and saw no changes... nothing on the slab on the north end of the plot, no pairing labels yet on the charging stations. But they do have a "phone number to call" label:

I'll be there

 

[Discoducky]

Woohoo! One more in Oregon and then the tip of Cali and it's on like Donkey Kong! Make a run for the boarder for free!

I think us lowly S60 owners might need more than that...

 

[Puyallup Bill]

Great news. But, at 175 miles, I'll skip the gala. For me, that sure is a great first leg for a trip south.

Wonder why I never get those email announcements - they certainly have my address. No biggie, I guess.

What... No Taco Bell in WA?

My bad, need one more there. And I'm also a lowly S60 owner FWIW.

I stopped by this evening on my way back from Portland. I didn't take any pictures because there was nothing new to show (no big green transformer box) but there was a PGW truck and employee there doing what looked to be some kind of inspection. She had a clipboard with a bunch of papers and was going in and out of the SC enclosure.

Also, I will be there on Thursday, probably with my kids and maybe with my wife. She may be shopping.

Thursday looks pretty official then! :wink:

Thanks for sharing Frankc!

Congrats Oregon!

I did some permit searching for sites further South in Oregon (Kudos to the great online permit system there in Oregon!) and couldn't find anything. Of course, I don't know if I did a very accurate search.

Cheers!

Why can't I get these invites? Did I not read about the secret handshake in the manual?

 

[SCW-Greg]

I think it just went out the locals here. I also think they're getting more on this, as an opportunity to reach out to the current drivers.
Can hardly wait til Southern Oregon, and Northern CA get activated.

Don't feel like the Lone Stranger. I didn't get invited to Centralia and it is only 50 miles down the road.

 

[dirkhh]

I asked them the same and they said "umm, we thought we emailed everyone in the region".
I live 25 miles from Woodburn. And had several emails from Tesla in the past month.
Some parts of Tesla clearly are run by highschoolers...

 

[PhilBa]

I wonder if they invited the power company?

 

[Egghead]

Any power yet? Driving from Corvallis to Seattle.

Anyone know if there's any juice yet? Got a low charge in Corvallis (thanks Panerra) and o/w will have to stop in Portland.

 

[goneskiian]

Highly doubtful. You're welcome to stop and scout. Let us know if there's a transformer behind the left side chargers. Should be easy to tell if there's something on the empty concrete pad or not. :wink:

Cheers!

Superchargers probably aren't up yet but there's two working Blink chargers in the lot and two more in the outlet mall next door. Though this information is likely far too late to do you any good.
