Canadian Superchargers

[PoweredByRain]

I agree, PoweredByRain. My figures are low. In coming weeks, I'll be trying this again and asking questions. But note I was charging between 44% (start) and 93% (stop), and we don't know whether an old version of the Superchargers has been installed, with lower output (although not that low, surely).

I am 99% certain that there was something not right with the Supercharger at the time that you saw those figures. The Supercharger behaviour is the same, as far as I can tell, at all locations. Well, actually Barstow still has pedestals that say "90 kW" but aside from a handful of the early installations I am sure that they are all capable of at least 120 kW. Plugging in with 44% charge (with an 85kWh battery) you should see an initial power of 70 kW or more.

I'd try it out again to be sure, but I don't live anywhere close to a Supercharger!

I will try again, of course. But the latest from Tesla in Toronto: "If there are other cars plugged in, it will lower the rate of charge." Not making maximal sense yet.

I'd just drop them a line... here's the invite:

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

There are no doubt delays in the construction at times, as anyone who has had any remodeling done on their house can tell you. Considering that some people here--people who are *supporters* of Telsa--get a bit feisty about "When is the SC in XYZ going to open?", I can understand why Telsa doesn't talk about them until their opening is immanent. Otherwise, Telsa would have to waste a bunch of time dealing with pointless "You said the SC in XYZ was going to be open on this date, and it's not!! WTF???" Yes, it would be nice to know, but I understand why they don't talk about it.

Well, even if they hush-hush we anyway say «WTF it's not open yet»! ahahha!

The problem was a misalignment of promises and resources. They didn't even get started until well after several promised dates had come and gone. So I think a little frustration is to be expected.

And let's not forget the BS excuses, like the "we're waiting for the snow to melt" of last spring.

Re kamloops... Not sure if these mean anything

Marks from underground services survey. BCH is, of course, BC Hydro. They need to map that out before digging to make sure they don't cut anything important!

May also include some marks showing where new conduits are planned.

Exactly. Looks like a find to me. Woohoo!

Hope ?

Yep. I recognize that lot!

Yep. I recognize that lot!

Now that Cornwall and Toronto is open, i'm hoping someone can spot construction activity in Kensington to match the west coast activity

 

[Jeeps17]

Some activity in Drummondville is rather overdue as well.

I really hope they get this "more complex" installation going soon, delay after delay may well lead into winter the way it's going.

nleggatt,

With your post on the 18th my glass changed from half empty to half full.

And, with today's pictures, it's like contemplating a glass of Guinness, in a small pub in Ireland, that is just waiting to be topped up.

Anticipation!

Thanks

Alta Lake Electric - same crew that installed Squamish. So we have an experienced crew!
