I don’t think I suggested I was anything other than calm. “Legally” doesn’t apply. It was a Tesla-branded sign not some official government thing. There were plenty of other easy to maneuver, isolated spots in the lot that did not block a charger, but this couple chose that one. They didn’t...

The signs say 30 minute general parking. But again, there’s no reason to park here given how wide open the lot is, and it’s a much farther walk to the stores. There’s certainly no reason for the guy to make a point of staring my family down and then aggressively say “don’t worry about it” at...

We just pulled into a charging spot and a pickup pulled in and ICEd a spot immediately after us, and the couple in the pickup literally stared me down for 2-3 minutes. The Icing wasn’t necessary, the lot is huge and wide open. Hope this isn’t going to be a problem around here.

I swear I typed this out before JTseng posted the latest update :)

When I saw the chargers appear to basically "done" on Memorial Day weekend, I thought "this is awesome, by the time I come back for vacation on July 27, they'll surely be active." 2 months later, here we are. Super disappointing.

If it were me personally I would opt to not enable sentry and I would disable overheat for your stay. If you're getting to CM w/200 miles of range and just doing puttering around over the course of the week I would imagine you could easily have 80-90 miles of range left to get back to egg harbor...

Also, are you saying that arriving at Cape May with 220 miles of charge is *too risky*, 40 miles away from the Egg Harbor supercharger? That seems like next-level range anxiety.

I have a MX 75D which at 90% charge gets about 205 miles. I go to Sea Isle City from the Philly suburbs. If I'm there for a week, I'll charge back up on the way down, and maybe do one mid-week run back up to Egg Harbor if I start getting nervous about range. Otherwise, stop there on the way...

Yep, this is the correct strategy. Though it was WAY more convenient before the supermarket at the Egg Harbor charger location closed last summer. Will be super super nice if/when Cape May actually opens.

That's frustrating. When I checked it out on Memorial Day weekend, I felt sure they'd be operational within 2 weeks at most - it doesn't look like there's much or anything left for them to do.

Hi all, I'm a semi-frequent charger at the Egg Harbor location. There are a few concerning trends in the last few months that make me wonder if Tesla is going to keep this location open long term. 1) 2 of the charging stalls at the far end of the group have been broken now for at least a month...

Yes. Trust the delivery estimate. Mine was accurate basically to the day (4 weeks). Tesla didn't call me to talk about delivery date options until week 2.5.

I'm picking up in Devon on Friday. I was wondering if I was going to be the first non-employee at that location :)

For me it was within 48 hours of me noticing the VIN was there on my account page.

Oh good - I got my VIN last week from a 1/17 order and it was also in 43XX and was puzzled why it was so low when others were in the 5000-6000 range. Glad at least one other person is in the same range as me.
