Drumm will be up and running way before the holidays... trust me
Let's hope it's ready by December 16th as I'll be taking delivery of my P85D and driving back to Quebec City... Finger crossed.
If it's not ready you can leave your D at my place for the winter if you can't make it to QC.

Damn, you beat me to it !

cross post, update from Drummondville (work pretty much dead at this point...)

Thanks. :smile:
I had initially written "country", but did not remember major issues with the Lawrence site, so I just reverted to my paradise-for-beauraucrats province...
Is there any particular reason that there isn't a thread for each SC in Canada, as there (in most cases) is for SCs in the US? If one is interested in a particular route or location, wading through posts about SCs 1000 km away is pretty tiresome.
TMC's resident Canadians decided on having two threads in the regional Canada part of the forum for Western Canada Superchargers and Eastern Canada Superchargers.

This also makes sense since Tesla seems to be focusing their initial efforts on two routes:
Vancouver->Calgary (West)
and
Toronto->Ottawa->Quebec->Montreal (East)
I know they are / were (?) working under a tent, but does anyone have any recent news or photos from the Drummondville site?
The one Quebec web site that was posting pictures took them offline so that workers would not be recognized... Not sure what that is all about ????
No updates posted by them since (even without photos).
Only in Quebec, I guess... sigh.

I'm so tired of waiting for Drummondville... Will believe it when I'll see it... Years of waiting in my case.

I hope they haven't been heating the site this whole time. That would be crazy expensive!
The minuscule amount of news we get on this site (in french here) suggests that this is in fact what is happening. Mind you temperatures have been consistently on the cold side (around -20C without windchill) for the last few weeks, it may be necessary to do so.
There is some mention of a "surprise" as the reason for all the secrecy around this site... like patp I'll believe it when I plug in...
There are actually more than two, at least one is located inside the building, for use by the service center.
I don't think that's a fair statement when you consider the investment in the recently opened Montreal Center, the largest of its kind in North America. It's true that there are only 2 Superchargers in the front there, but there are also two in the garage.
Drummondville is way late, but it's not because of lack of investment by Tesla. When you consider all the times the plans were changed or construction canceled, started, halted, restarted and dragged out, the site will probably end up costing 2-3 times more than a "normal" installation. The international engineering services firm, Black & Veatch, contracted by Tesla for Supercharger roll-out unfortunately doesn't have an office in Quebec. Their lack of local knowledge and contacts may have caused them to hit certain land mines. Hopefully, the painful experience in Drummondville will serve as a lesson and subsequent Quebec projects will go more smoothly.
