Nothing "crooked" there, LOL. Rather, see those strong and straight diagonal lines, all firmly up & to the right! And so that maybe means a strong wish for "may you grow and prosper" (please). With Owen Sound now online, I think I'll need to come up with some other trick for "last but not...

• The “permafrost” status continues here at the Hamilton SC. All remains exactly as before, for weeks now........ • No, nothing at all is cleaned up re: either (a) the landscaping (only the 2 boards near the transformer were removed, as Massi noted awhile back) or (b) the many remaining orange...

NTMK

Black hole! Lights dark! No juice!! All is rife For pulsing green electric charger LIFE.

Just to update tonight that, well, there's again nothing to update :(! Photo 1: Still exactly the same 2 boards on the ground beside the last-installed transformer at the NW corner. Are they actually a clue to the cause of the delay - are they loosely covering some kind of unfinished work...

Friday night end-of-week status: the chargers’ “Tesla” signs all remain dark; no changes at all since above.

Your shortest route would be to stay on the QEW all the way rather than detour up the Red Hill to the “Linc”. So agreed, the Grimsby SC rather than the Hamilton SC makes sense.

Look at this, from earlier today! Well OK, ha ha, ecodrive is NOT actually charging yet in that photo... the Hamilton SC is NOT yet live (it's Day 91). This photo isn't really about the foreground and the red beauty at all but about the background and the final transformer we've been waiting...

:cool: and I think I'll want to Share your Plug you've made for me here, Mr. PlugShare - and for that, I'd say your handle name couldn't be more appropriate :D !

Here's an update in 5 photos from late Feb 9th: Photo 1: Opening Day yesterday at the Winter Olympics ... was just another Unopened Day at the Hamilton Supercharger. Our girls'n'boys in red'n'white (aka the chargers!) remain in good marching order but still just ringed in behind their fence...

It's mid-afternoon but no workers are on site. Since my last photo set posted on Dec 20th, there's only minor further visible progress to report. Photo 1: Compared to Dec 20's 3rd photo, we now have the concrete curb completed along the 20 chargers. Photo 2 & 3: Compared to Dec 20's 2nd...

Yes 20 — see that documented on the preceding page of this thread

The Great Big Green Beast is still on site, and "my bad" earlier because it's no earthmover but a heavy-duty forklift. Tonight it seems poised to add a waiting cube of grey equipment onto the transformer pad. Photo 1: Another such "smaller" grey cube plus 3 "taller" grey enclosures are already...

LOL, yes! anything to keep out the gassy F150's and SUV's etc... Or maybe Elon can even cook us up a metal detector that will "Open Sesame" only when it detects an induction motor wanting in....

Photo 1: All 10 transformers are now installed in a 2 x 5 layout. Photo 2: It's the 2nd-to-last Saturday afternoon before Xmas, and the mall's parking lot is appropriately stuffed to the edges. I couldn't help seeing a great ironic contrast between that and the fenced-off construction zone...

All 20 charging stalls are now up in their red-and white! A nice looking team line-up! Five of the 10 transformers are into their final locations on the pad at the north end. At the moment, you can see those 5 at the back of the (magnified) photo, forming just that single-file group. PS...

New photos from mid-PM today. All 20 pedestals now have their concrete bases done. Earth was being back-filled around them. The transformer pad at the north end (although covered in orange tarp in this pic) has obviously advanced. The wood posts of its future enclosure are in place. The...

Here are some updated photos from this evening. The long trough for the 20 stalls is now neatly cut out and lined with a bit of gravel: - Photo 1 looks northward from the south end. - Photo 4 (left edge) looks back southward from the north end, which begins right at the mall's large "CF Lime...

The published location(s) given for the Hamilton SC would bear some comment and correction. 1. The map indicator on the SC's website page at tesla.com (Hamilton, ON | Tesla Canada) is in a totally wrong part of town altogether. 2. The supercharge.info marker is very close, other than that it's...

Here are some photos from late this afternoon. As the first photo shows, I count 20 connections all aligned in a single row running along that North-South road on the periphery of the Lime Ridge parking lot. There's a group of 5+4 wooden crates seen in the 2 views taken from 180 degrees apart...

This is FABULOUS pre-holiday news, I mean the Port Hope opening - thanks TytanX. (and yes also at last the end of Doug's long-suffering, perfectly mismatched travel schedule syndrome...) I feel this achievement FINALLY represents Tesla's completion of an "all-seasons-comfortably-usable" SCh...

Fantastic news, thanks greatly for sharing!! So many of us have been hoping for this SCh from so many vantage points... and now thanks to some big extra help from El Niño, looks like it'll even be in time for our greatest cold-temp needs this winter - YAY!

From the Buffalo SC thread, I see construction has started at Buffalo/Clarence, also reflected at supercharge.info. YAY!! As you thought, it is apparently the crew from Syracuse. http://www.teslamotorsclub.com/showthread.php/25873-Buffalo-Supercharger-Updates/page10. Anyone have any news yet on...

Got mine (for an S85 Classic) this afternoon while on 3G in a public parking lot, then after getting home, took 1 hr 20 min to install.

I've just received and installed the new firmware 6.4.1 today, April 1st. I'm truly delighted to share how totally awesome and valuable I find its new "ticket avoidance mode" that I unexpectedly discovered! Once again, Tesla proves that it rocks with its superior innovations that drive us Model...

Agreed, this definitely makes sense. For example, real-world data about the choices that drivers make when going west of London show that the traffic volume split between the 401/Windsor vs the 402/Sarnia branches is very evenly divided at 50:50 --> see the data around the "London" region in...

yes, please!

True about the 401, and the Victoria Park approach is a neat option! But as mentioned, not cool at all for the 407 Toronto bypass. To need to detour all the way back down from the 407 to the Lawrence SC loses the benefit of that bypass (and that benefit will only grow further once the...

Woodstock SC : Fabulous "No Parking except for..." Signage Good news from the Woodstock SC! On arriving today I was very happy to be greeted by the sight of very clear and explicit signs at each spot that inform/direct about the use of the spaces! Unless I was sleepwalking when I was here...

In contrast to that, I believe that we primarily want to aim for a Kingston-Toronto journey that's actually convenient to use under all conditions! That would include for S60 owners and would also include NOT needing to stay for fully 60 minutes at a SC just to be able to drive at a reasonable...

Sounds good for 190 km (for the case of S85 owners, not S60), given that that distance is less than even a generous de-rating by 50% of the S85's rated range of 420 km (that applies in fact to only fairly slow driving in summer). But you can't say the same about 250-255 km, which is the...

Some pics to share from this morning's Toronto SC opening ceremony... Final pre-event moments to shiny-up the centre of attention Owners' Teslas all lined up! - - - Updated - - - Owners meeting owners... It's 10:00 A.M., ready to roll! - - - Updated - - - Tesla's Martin P ...

... and today, here's the official announcement about the Cornwall opening!

Thanks for clarifying, and I agree! -- My use of the word "first" was (a) simply quoting Depeche Mode's phrase in the preceding post and also (b) meaning that the discussion about the Toronto-Kingston gap is pretty meaningless until Kingston itself is operational, that's all. -- PS: Your...

Glad you re-thought it a bit and partly realized your initial conclusion was not so great and corrected it. Still, I feel you're adding unhelpful confusion and a serious disservice to Canadian Tesla owners who live thousands of miles east of your own location. It's inappropriate to ignore the...

TOTALLY! I second the motion on that notion - and then underline and bold it again! The distance of that gap, as long as left unfilled, is ~ *twice* what it is between most US SCs -- even as there's not even Canadian winter cold down there. Opportunities for convenient SCs abound from...

Re: Barrie and London: From Mr. Paquet at Tesla, we have a 2-minute clip at The Financial Post on Aug 15 where he emphasizes (without specific time lines) that Tesla's highest priorities for Canadian SCs are these 3: * Vancouver to Calgary & Edmonton * Quebec City to Windsor * Barrie...

Update on Cornwall with pics: Yesterday on my way home to the Greater Horseshoe area from a stay in Montreal, I took the happy time-limited opportunity to look - on the same day - at all of Canada's Supercharger sites currently under construction (i.e. both of them :) ). It was truly exciting...

Thanks and agreed - see below. Thanks to both of you! This MTO dataset of annual average daily traffic on Hwy 401 in 2010 is amazingly detailed! Your and my tax dollars of 2010 worked hard to assemble it all, which is even more impressive since they aren't yet done working on publishing the...

Hi mknox, I know you keep describing the westwards trip from Toronto as "much more travelled" than eastwards for Toronto-Montreal. Can you share any hard data you may have behind that description, if any, of course excluding the truck traffic component? Beyond that, I am certainly one...
