    Supercharger - Franklin, NC

    When I asked the foreman on a nearby SuC construction site (Matthews), he said that the oddball eleven bays at Providence Rd Charlotte were what the owner limited them to. I suppose the owners only will to give up space for what is feasible to them. So Franklin's eleven might be space or owner...

    Trouble Replying on a Supercharger Thread

    When I tried to reply to a post on a particular thread (Franklin, NC), I was not able to do so. I pressed "Log In" and then properly logged in. I could see my user ID displayed on the top line, verifying I am now logged in. Upon normally returning (i.e. not using the browser's back arrow) to...

    Supercharger - Durham NC (Southpoint Mall area)

    Wow. Sure looks like the one on Providence Rd in Charlotte. They were able to preserve most of the existing trees. Pretty.

    Supercharger - Gastonia, NC

    Usually, the transformer is a green box. See the center of the previous pictures. I bet that's the transformer.

    Went by yesterday. No change. No progess.

    Supercharger - Laurinburg, NC

    Looks like the Google link on this site is wrong. Zip is 28352 instead of the incorrect 38352.

    Supercharger - Matthews, NC

    Maybe Tesla restricts the power level for the introductory period? Tried two different stalls and only got 30 kwH.

    Supercharger - Hickory, NC - NC-127

    I now remember that Richburg, SC (I-77 south of Charlotte) was also on a "Coming Soon" map.

    Supercharger - Hickory, NC - NC-127

    Like this Hickory SuC, on November 21, 2022, Statesville, NC was also shown as "Coming Soon" on Tesla's website map. Anyone know more about this potential site? As far as I can determine, Statesville may be the only remaining one in central NC yet to be built from all those "Coming Soon" ones...

    Transformer this morning. Electrician says he is heading to Salisbury next.

    Supercharger - Matthews, NC

    Do I see 10 charging pedestals? Five on the left side (rain grate in the curb) and five on the right side with one of those being a pull-through.

    I had assumed this one:

    Supercharger - Matthews, NC

    I am thinking this SuC location is a good strategy for the shopping center's Sycamore Commons management. The construction is at a remote corner of the shopping center where a restaurant (Shane's Real-Pit Barbeque) vacated a year or two ago. Perhaps this would encourage another business to occupy.

    Supercharger - Charlotte, NC - Providence Rd

    Today, I talked to the foreman at the ongoing Matthews, NC construction site. He also did this Providence Road site. When I asked him about the 11 verses 12 pedestal mystery, he answered, "The property owner just didn't want to give up another parking space." Ouch. Adding just more one charger...

    Supercharger - Matthews, NC

    Foreman said the construction time for this non-prefab type is 60-65 days . He just finished McLeansville, NC and is heading to Cary, NC next.

    Supercharger - Boone, NC

    Why does that third-from-the-left charger look odd to me? Is the adapter opposite?

    Supercharger - Leeds, AL

    I've been hesitant to write this for I wasn't sure of what I had heard. Maybe it now makes some sense. On November 21, 2022, I stopped at this Supercharger in Leeds and spotted the many Tesla chargers. Behind them was some ongoing construction, so I approached a worker and asked what was...

    Supercharger - Charlotte, NC - Providence Rd

    I am not convinced that the green transformer in your third pic belongs to the SuC. It has weather-faded paint just like the old, nearby transformer between Fresh Market groceries and the adjacent Tuesday Morning store. I suspect that a new SuC transformer has yet to arrive on location.

    Supercharger - Charlotte, NC - Providence Rd

    I visited the site today and agree with you - only 11 charging stations seen. In my first post of this thread, you can clearly see a stack of 12 concrete-pedestal bases, ready for installation. Later pics show 11 erected stations and one base sitting on a pallet by itself. Later, that pallet...

    Supercharger - Boone, NC

    For a decent Sylva SuC location, looks like the large parking lot at Innovation Station is surrounded by several good eats. Or if you want to learn something while you charge, you could walk the 1/2 mile to the Appalachian Women's Museum. After a few minutes, just tell them you need to return to...

    Supercharger - Boone, NC

    Almost agreed. I am wishing for a SuC in Murphy, NC to fill that blank area of the map. It would ease the mind on an Asheville to Chattanooga mountain route AND perhaps enable Teslas to do the Tail of the Dragon. On the average, a curve every 187 feet!

    Here's another pic. Neat how they are saving the trees.

    Supercharger - Columbia, SC - Harbison Blvd

    Looks like the elevation (84) in the supercharge.info section is way low for this site. Should be 260-270.

    Supercharger - Charlotte, NC - Providence Rd

    From near the intersection of US-74 & I-485, if heading to I-85 S, I use the US-74 W route that goes straight through the city to I-85. Alternatively, traveling on the I-485 inner loop toward I-85 S yields the same trip time; however, the US-74 route is four to five miles shorter, and with lower...

    Supercharger - Charlotte, NC - Providence Rd

    Same thoughts I was having. Seems like a US-74 Matthews location is a better choice - perhaps at the Target store on Independence Blvd US-74. The store has a nice, seldom-used parking area on the left, suitable for a supercharger.

    Supercharger - Charlotte, NC - Providence Rd

    Yesterday, found this Supercharger under construction less than two weeks, I think. It's in the back parking lot of the The Fresh Market (groceries) at I-485 and Providence Road. Address is 10828 Providence Rd, Charlotte, NC 28277. Twelve pedestals. When in the area, say "hello" to Mark, The...

    Supercharger - Charlotte, NC - 1111 Metropolitan Avenue

    I am a newly registered user (Model X) to this site. Today, I discovered a brand new Tesla Supercharger in Charlotte, NC under construction with twelve stations. How do I add this information, location and pics to this site?

    SuperCharger - Tuscaloosa, AL

    While at the Cottondale supercharger location, be sure to take advantage of the free coffee the Holiday Inn offers. They walked all the way out to my car to ensure I knew about it. Nice folks!

    And they placed the Cottondale pin in the wrong location.

    Pre-refresh S / X now officially known as “Legacy” in terms of software

    At least in my 2020 X, it's a voice command: "Turn (front) defroster on/off."

    SuperCharger - Tuscaloosa, AL

    I've used one of the three destination chargers at the Hampton Inn in Columbus, MS - once when I was staying there and other times not. The front desk said that they are infrequently used. Just pop in and hook up, if you are are having a little range anxiety. No assistance is needed by hotel...

    Supercharger - Asheville, NC - Thetford Street

    Yep and southeast Charlotte (Matthews) could be better covered with a SC near I-485 and US-74. Perhaps near the Costco? Traveling westward on US-74 means the next SC is at far-away Asheville. The Tesla Service Center in Matthews, just a few miles away, discourages local charging except when work...
