We need supercharger.info to have a new icon of "zombie" 🧟‍♂️🧟‍♀️ 💀for sites like this that are "dead but not gone" like the one found in Kirkland WA where the permit was noted as "project cancelled for the time being" due to no Tesla contact. At least this Portland one got utility location...

if only the Burgermaster stalls could have a Supercharger pedestal installed! Can you imagine?

This location is right off SR520, about a mile from I-405, so not ideal spot for long distance travelers, nor is 8 stalls going to be adequate given how packed the other Kirkland SC is in Totem Lake. All moot now though.

My assumption is that since the construction has started and is being done by an electrical contractor, that they will complete their part in order to get paid. But if there’s no one at Tesla left to inspect and sign off on the work it might not be integrated into the SC network and turned on...

Just to chime in on the NEVI 150kW requirement that was discussed earlier, there is a whole branch of mathematics dealing with sharing limited resources called "trunking". As an engineer for cellphone companies a long time ago (in a galaxy far far away), we'd dimension the number of radios...

From the last photo it seems some de-striping is needed in at least two stalls.

Do you mean change of v3 pedestals to v4 ones with longer cable and magic-dock, like in new Bothell (Canyon Park) site??

Good to hear that. I hope the view wasn’t too cloudy for you. Having started this thread, to see what it might be like in Texas, I panicked when seeing the forecast get bad for most of Texas, so we flew to Boston, rented an ICE, and stayed in NH with relations and drove to northern Vermont on...

There's another thread where a few people are talking about charging when travelling to see the Total Eclipse Tesla supercharging during solar eclipse? but I wanted to get info specifically for west Texas from those who know the situation there. My main concern is that travelling from New...

Recent new site installations have not had the backstops, and in some cases, they were put in and then removed before the site was commissioned. The reason posted elsewhere is that Cybertrucks and probably other non-Tesla vehicles cannot reach the cable when using the v3 stalls if the stop is...

It seems we have seen this happening at other new sites too. Bumpers in, then bumpers out. I wonder if the change is to accommodate non-Tesla vehicles at a future date. Seems likely to allow for accidental damage though. Good to see this SC finally turned on. Nearly 14 months from breaking...

Can one of moderators move the map pin on supercharge.info a bit further north to direct people to the right area of the parking lots at Freddie's? I forget their handles. Also this thread title can now change to "LIVE" from "under construction". Here's a black oval marking the area where the...

Darn it, @PLUS EV , can’t you let someone else get first charge for a change? You go everywhere, I go nowhere so this was my most likely chance for that honor. 😉

If only it had "magic socks", but sadly it doesn't have magic docks for CCS charging either.

It’s big, it’s green, it’s here! No lights on the stalls though, so not active yet. Maybe soon (1 to 2 weeks?). No spot for a meter either, maybe these days the metering is inside the switchgear cabinet. Also no magic socks on the pedestals, not that I expected them.
