Yup. Would make a whole lot of sense to finish digging in New England and Canada before winter sets in. Site work in Florida isn't much of a problem in January...

Ah, must be nice to work with unlimited resources! I'm sure that we'll get both, but I agree that the priority should be the places existing SuperChargers cannot reach, before the places where one has to wait at the SC because of taper. Albany is totally inadequate for covering all of New...

A wee bit of each $2K would need to be allocated to pay for electricity, I would think!

@EVSteve - Thank you for making your station available on PlugShare! I'm headed to Ithaca Fri Oct 3rd, returning Sat Oct 4th. Allentown Supercharger would make this easier, but if I can juice up at your place for an hour on the way back, then I should be able to leave the ICE at home!

I am hoping to make it, but work's been pretty crazy, so not sure if it'll be practical. I'm more than a few miles away, but within round-trip range, so no charge needed, thanks!

If they find a suitable site near the intersection of I-76 and I-81, that facilitates the more efficient "grid" layout by serving both interstate corridors. It'd be problematic for a single SC site to be too far out of the way regardless of whether you were coming from (or heading to) the NE...

For heaven's sake, be quiet about that! If NJ figures out that recharging is functionally the same as pumping gas, they might require an attendant at the Superchargers! And home chargers. And J-plug public charging stations...

Albany to Hamilton should be faster if you go a little slower but directly, rather than detouring. We did it three weeks ago no problem. Just get a good, full start (255+ rated) and keep it to 70 until you see how you're doing with wind. If it's cutting close, you can also call the Garden...

Or Maine!

Could be worse. Could be NJ.

Took these on Sat. Looks like the equipment will likely be across the service road from the stalls? Not sure, but lots of digging, which is great after so long just waiting!

Yeah, we did Albany to Hamilton, waited for a 255 mile starting charge, rolled in with 30 miles left, with my wife driving the whole way (higher Wh/mile than me). Very do-able in an 85 in non-winter conditions. If I can leave early enough then I'll swing by Edison again this Sat to see if...

Wow, we've hit 14 different Superchargers in 3 months of ownership! I'm sure your experience will be that much more glorious when you're "on the network!" I'll see if I can hit the meeting on Wed. If anyone else can come, please do! The more folks we have there supporting Tesla, the better!

@EVSteve, are you able to go to the meeting this Wed night and report back? I was hoping to, but I'm more than an hour's drive and I'm not sure if I'm going to have time this week.

What are the green dots, and how do I get supercharge.info to display them?

Yup. Harrisburg/Carlisle on the "2014" map will be a tremendous help. In the mean time, an 85 should be able to make it to the Devon service center's HPWC, or the King of Prussia Mall's showroom HPWC (which has more entertainment options than Devon). If dual chargers, you should be able to...

Drove by Edison site on Saturday. Did not have time for an exhaustive search (on way to NYC with family in tow), but no obvious signs of construction along Lafayette Ave between Menlo Park Mall Rd and Parsonage Rd. Seasons 52 is now open there, but there's no obvious evidence suggesting that...

Are you hitting it really close to the charge port door? I was having trouble with mine, until I realized that it worked better if I hit it as soon as I picked up the wand and before I dragged it over to the back of the car. Half way across the room: good. Right next to it: not so much.

I've confirmed with township officials in Auburn, MA that Tesla "submitted a Zoning Determination Request to allow the charging stations at the Auburn Mall located at 385 Southbridge St". No permit submission yet, but it sounds like the process is underway. Here's a link to the mall directory...

Anyone spoken with the town clerk in Auburn, MA lately to ask about a permit application? I'm happy to contact them, but don't want to bombard them if others have already tried...

Email sent to commissioners, informing them that I'm planning to drive my Tesla to Rehoboth Beach this summer and am disappointed in the lack of infrastructure there.

Yeah, I'm planning to do Hamilton -> Albany, but at 202 miles straight shot, it'd be more comfortable through Edison instead (169 mile leg, 203 mile total to Albany). Detouring through Darien is 102+144=246 miles, i.e. 43 miles out of my way. I've got to check the elevation to confirm, but I...

Between the extra amp and the elevated voltage, I'm happy to have 60 MPH charging!

My MS routinely displays one amp above the limit which I set. Doesn't seem to matter what I set it for. At full power, it says 81 amps! But I agree with Canuck. Why would I complain? I like eggs.

Between full power Superchargers (i.e. where you're not sharing a Supercharger, and thus you're able to pull 90kW or better), my understanding is that the quickest total trip duration is achieved when you go as fast as you can without: 1) Running out of charge before you make it to the next...

I heard that when the mall opens up their new food court, they're no longer going to have enough spare power to feed the Supercharger. So it'll probably be there through the end of the year, but not forever. Hopefully they'll be able to get it moved up to Rockville. A day trip to DC from up...

You mean during the recent ICE age, right? :wink: So Jake, anything to report from Cranberry?

Wish the CHAdeMO adapter wasn't perpetually "coming soon!" And it's currently listed not as "hundreds", but at an even $1,000. But time is money, and the 50kW CHAdeMO stations surely beat everything but a Supercharger! Considering what the MS cost, an extra grand to maximize its road trip...

No, got pushed back to this Wed (4/2). See Jake's post above.

Sorry to hear this isn't helping the spring break crew. But seems likely that it should be running by the end of the month, hopefully? I'm coming through from Somerset to Macedonia on 4/25, would be handy to top up in Cranberry.
