Yes, I just talked to Mark Ridley today. They're hosting this, Ely, and Wellington, CO. They just pulled permits so things are moving along.

Was just texting Mark. He said they just pulled their building permits for the stores they're hosting superchargers in Ely, Kemmer WY and Wellington, CO. They explained to Ridley's that Ely has been slow going because they had to go back to the custom built versions because of the elevations...

Ridley just told me they’re finally starting contractor bids next week. I guess I’m surprised they hadn’t gotten to that point yet but maybe things will finally start to move.

Unfortunately I missed the window I think for both. I'm currently traveling. I'll message a mod.

Just got word Ridley’s just signed leases with Tesla to host superchargers in American Falls and Black foot. I started a separate thread for American Falls. That’s all I have for now, but these are going up quick (except Ely for some reason).

Just got word Ridley’s just signed leases with Tesla to host superchargers in American Falls and Blackfoot. I’ll start a separate thread for Blackfoot. That’s all I have for now, but these are going up quick (except Ely for some reason).

Just my 2 bits to confirm what everyone’s been seeing. Ridleys is done with their part, and Tesla told Mark weeks ago they were about to start construction and…crickets. My theory is the supercharging team in this area has been busy with Idaho stuff. They recently brought a 2nd badly needed...

I’ve done that stretch, there’s a more reasonably priced CCS in Alamo that can help make that jump. We didn’t need much time at it, just a boost to make it that last 90 miles or so to Vegas.

Very possible, with the way it’s been going. But we’ve seen them go up fairly quick once construction has started so I’m still hopeful.

Just talked to Mark, they told him they’re starting construction this week.And with the new prefab chargers it should go fairly quick. We should be charging here in September.

The coffee shop is complete and has been for a while. Not sure what Tesla’s holdup was but they just told Ridley’s they’ll be there to start the install in a few weeks.

I ran into Mark Ridley today at the Twin Falls supercharger. He’d just come back from Ely. Said the electrical looks almost done and they’re finishing up the parking lot for the coffee shop. This one has been slower going for Tesla because of that concurrent project which hasn’t been moving too...

Hey guys. Good news. Tesla will begin construction in March and the project is scheduled to take March-April. If everything goes smooth should be online by end of April.

Sorry, I haven’t been on this thread for a while. They haven’t started on construction yet because for some reason they have to wait for the coffee shop to get past a certain point before they can begin. Maybe they don’t want the Tesla workers getting in the way. That’s the word from Mark...

Hey if it helps, I just got the CCS adapter Harumio is selling themselves (not the Tesla branded one they were doing before) for $230. Took 10 days to get here shipped from China. I tested it last night at an Electrify America and hit 150kW starting around 15% SOC. If your car has CCS adapter...

For once I can say this isn't Tesla's fault. Construction on that whole project, including the Beans & Brews coffee shop they're building next to it, is just taking longer than anticipated. Probably because it's Ely freakin Nevada and there's labor shortages even in non-BFE cities right now.

I just texted Mr. Ridley, this was news to him. He's not privy to a lot of the red tape going on, but he says they pulled their building permit for a new coffee shop that's going to go in next to the charger, and they're trying to coordinate the install with that project. Might have held it up a...

Not yet. So far they’ve just signed the contract with the host. It’s not even listed as coming soon on Tesla’s supercharger site so sit tight, it’ll be a while.

Just thought I'd let those interested on this thread know about this new Supercharger thread for Ely I've started. Per my first post, Ridley's has just signed a contract to host. More activity should be following soon. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/supercharger-ely-nv.231004/

This is exciting, I actually get to start a new Supercharger thread! Some of you may remember me from the Heyburn, ID Supercharger thread. Well, we've got another one going in Ely finally. Ridley's supermarket has just signed the contract to host a Tesla supercharger at their store in Ely. This...

The tech working on the superchargers here in Twin told me. On two separate occasions. Guess I’m taking his word for it as an employee, but he’s been telling me about Burns too. He covers this whole region.

Sure, why not? If it makes sense like this Burns one I’m sure they’re at least thinking about it. I know they’re planning Ely, McCall, Sun Valley/Hailey, even Salmon.

I finally got this done just before spring break and it was no problem. That’s exactly how I did it. I ended up upgrading the MCU about the same time, but the software unlock was an over the air upgrade. Scheduled it in service, they had to have engineering do it but it was no problem. Took...

I think we should all step back and appreciate what this one represents-a new phase of superchargers going into small, non freeway but important highway towns. Tesla more or less has freeways covered stateside. From talking to the supercharger tech a few times in Twin Falls this is the big push...

So we just did Vegas down 93 with our CHAdeMO and the Wells SC. The Wells one definitely cuts down on the hurt but that Greenlots in Ely is straight up highway robbery. 2 hours, which meant 2 $5 connection fees since it shuts off after an hour, plus 50 cents a kw meant it cost $40 to top off our...

I just visited my friend in Challis a couple weekends ago, and we took my 3 up to Lost Trail for some snowboarding. You couldn't be more right. Challis sucks for charging, just campgrounds and they want $30 to charge it up over night. I was able to get up to 250 after a couple days on his 120v...

I spoke to the Supercharger tech last week in Twin when he was working on them. He stated they're moving full steam ahead because they're quickly getting overrun with all the Y's and 3's going out. My friend has supermarkets in Ely, McCall, and elsewhere and is an owner himself, so we cut...

This is a nice surprise, it wasn't on my radar and I didn't realize they were coming along with it so fast. I've got another buddy who's put in to host in Ely. I'm hoping they contact him soon. It'd be nice to run down to Vegas from Twin Falls without having to go through Utah.

Any idea what the part number would be for the X?

I eventually fixed it myself since I was out of warranty and didn’t wanna pay them to just do a factory reset. Which is what I did and it worked. Yeah, it wiped out my saved game histories and I had to set my garage doors up again with homelink. But ᖍ(ツ)ᖌ better than paying money.

Ooh I've heard this one...when it's been bureaucratized?! Wait that's not funny.

No, just one. But when it was up you could hear their fans whirring inside. It was totally silent. Pretty clear the power had been shut down for all of them. No idea why, no vandalism or damage that I could see.

Hey everyone, So I’ve been enjoying this charger along with everyone lately, but for some reason I was down there tonight to discover it’s temporarily offline. I hope it’s not too long. I‘lol keep an eye on it and post when I see it back on unless someone beats me to it.

Hello, I’m now having this same issue. I’ve scheduled a service appointment and I’m waiting to hear from them. Did they fix this over the air like mentioned? I’m hoping it’s that easy.

I don’t think this one is in the works at all yet. No permits, no nothing. They likely haven’t found a site yet to partner with. I don’t think they have a lot of options, you’ve basically got all that stuff there by the Pilot and Walmart exit, and the other one just has that Chevron and Burger...

First! (Is that still a thing?) Heyburn is ON!

My bad, I credited cam but it was Veb4713 who talked to the technician in Twin. Sorry Veb. But thanks for the info, you were totally right. I bet Ontario gets commissioned this week too.

Hey man until I saw that email, with the way it’s been going, I totally agreed with you. It’s gonna be awesome though, we’re heading to Utah in our 60D X next week and for the first time I’m gonna go 85 all the way to Tremonton :)

Looks like tomorrow’s gonna be the day kids. I’ll be down there to test it out. camthehombre’s info was right. Problem with the fuses.

That's good to know. I've never bothered charging that long at one of them since I was just getting enough to get home or to an actual supercharger. I always figured they were limiting it to about 36 so it'd take longer to charge, since they were charging by the minute. Apparently this one in...

There was an update list for 2020 that had it on there somewhere. I’ve been trying to find where I saw it. It seemed largely aspirational (mostly listed FSD features and you know how timely those are) but I’m still holding out hope. Nothing solid yet announced. But even CHAdeMO is going to be...

Just a reminder too, they’ve apparently got a ChargePoint installed in Burns now at the same spot that J-1772 has been with CHAdeMO and CCS now, so if you’ve got the adapter, and especially if Tesla releases a CCS adapter like they’re supposed to sometime this year, this will get you by until...

So I take it your S60 isn't a software limited 75 battery pack? That's what our X is, and we also have 179 rated at 100%. But luckily since that's a software limit, even when we roll in with 10 miles or less at the charger it's still just 45 minutes or so to 100% since it's actually only...

Just tried again. Looks all wrapped up except for a light pole with the Tesla charging sign already on it that’s laying on the ground waiting to be mounted. But no juice yet. Hoping my guy gets the inside word so we can be the first to use it!

I wouldn’t hold your breath bud. No movement since the construction phase apparently wrapped up. If you’ve got a CHAdeMO adapter though there’s a charger by the Wayside in Heyburn that’s not too bad to give you some buffer. Just top off in Twin, in this weather you shouldn’t have to go 60. I’ve...

It is a 6 mile round trip off the freeway in Twin so I get that. It’s 160 miles though from the Boise SC to this location so unless you have about 300 miles of range when you leave, especially in the winter, that’s a big hop to make.

Here’s what I got. Notice there are a few plumbed up conduits by the big white one I’ve circled. I don’t know if you guys can tell anything from it but those are all that’s there.

I’m going down there tonight. I’ll try to get some.

My 2 bits on the Marriott in Burley-my same associate who applied to host the super chargers gave me the heads up when they put those in (he was confused on what chargers they were and thought he’d lost the bid from Tesla) and I immediately contacted the manager of the Marriott to ask if I could...

Yeah, I was making the point that while I do cut it close, that's on my 60D Model X that's 3 years old, which is now down to 180 miles fully charged. Why do you think I've been so excited for this supercharger? An SR+ has about 250 miles rated range. If it was cold I'd say go 75 and 65 up the...
