Supercharger - Coeur d'Alene, ID (LIVE Feb 2015, 6 V2 + 8 V3 stalls)

[Big Earl]

And isn’t there some rule about not running things more than 80% with electrical? I know there is on breakers. 1200 is coincidentally 80% of 1500

Transformers are typically 100% rated.

8 new stalls are still taped -off.
new curbing has been poured..

It looks to me that a new transformer has been installed. It is taller and sports new paint. The previous one was faded and stained. But I can’t be certain.

Does this have big enough capacity to support six V2s and eight V3s?

Looks like they might be in the process of commissioning since the new stalls are counted in the stall count. And the max is 250kw.

I was here over Memorial Day Weekend. They were mid-commission and ran into issues with the install that required Blackstone to come back on site and do some additional work. Hopefully this will be live soon but for now it's still offline.

Tesla technician on site. I wanted to talk to him but he was on a video chat and had at least one other laptop open; i didn't interrupt.

Could be this week

Unless there is a hiccup, the new stalls will probably open tonight.

6 of the 8 are up and active.

Anyone find it interesting that there is a grey Q3 pin for CdA even after the eoq update? Anyone hear any rumors? If it’s real and not just a forgotten about removal then maybe we’ll see a dig ticket when the MT sites are all done for the quarter.

I noticed this. I am hopeful that there is a supercharger more East of the current build. Also along I-90 would be nice. The current setup feels like it services more of Coeur D'Alene then I-90 traffic. So it would be nice to have one closer to I-90. I know it was there long before Spokane and Liberty Lake but it feels like one of the most out of the way I-90 servers that I've seen (Mind you my knowledge only covers Washington, Idaho, and Montana).

If they put it between Liberty Lake and Coeur D'Alene I will be very confused. This area (currently) has enough stalls to service this area. Where it makes more sense is between Coeur D'Alene and the newly opened Saint Regis superchargers.

Will be keeping a close eye on dog tickets.

While those dogs are digging, here’s my suggestion (near I-90, Starbucks, pizza, sandwich shop):

I would think that something actually east of CdA would be useful too. For example, I've always been kinda surprised that a supercharger wasn't installed in Kellogg, as it's a tourist-y place (big ski resort there), and it's between two mountain passes. Heck, there's an EA charger at the Walmart there now...

Agreed, I moved through here towing a large Uhaul trailer in September. I had to ditch out and stop at the EA station in order to make it through this gap. If there were a supercharger through here it would make passing through while towing a heck of a lot easier. Having CCS was a blessing but having a supercharger would make this a lot easier.

There have been a few of the new PNW ones at Wyndham properties so that La Quinta could be an option.

dig seems to fat finger to dog a lot maybe with some help from iOS

one of the V3 cabinets (4A-D) is offline with a wrench icon in the app. Anyone want to swing by and see if magic docks are being installed?

I was there on Monday. Cabinet offline but no sign of MagicDocks.

Thanks for following up. Rare occurrence of Tesla equipment downtime without a quick fix. Unless they are testing demand or something.

 

[ImScotty]

Has anyone been by this charger lately? It looks like it has been downgraded in the app back to a 6 stall??

 

[Mrbrock]

Interesting. One of the cabinets was down last week. Wonder if they are doing sort of repair on the V3 and took them off the app.
