I stopped by Mifflintown yesterday. No changes since my visit tothe site in early March. In fact no power line to the pole that is next to the conduit that will feed the transformer. That site is within PP&L service territory. Maybe someone has a contact within PP&L to get information on what...

I stopped by the Mifflintown SC construction site this morning. Good progress. To my uneducated eyes it looks like a transformer and electric meter are now required.

I have been dreaming of a SC between State College and Harrisburg. Especially for weekends when 150 kW SC at Union Deposit is overwhelmed with I-81 travelers. Will stop by just to check it out this weekend going to or from ice hockey vs Michigan and THON.

Yes, electric meter labeled ‘TESLA’ is in. Now all they have to do is flip the switch. Likewise the EVGO meter has been installed.

Last set of front tires did have excessive wear on the outside tread. I’d have to say the same, or at least similar, to these new tires. I document a lot of things in life but I never thought I’d have to document tire tread wear before a $275 alignment. But then again I didn’t expect to not get...

My X has a 5” crack that has grown to 8” in a few cold northeast US weeks. I no longer use defrost during cold weather warmup. I stopped at both Tesla service center and Safelite yesterday. Tesla has windshield in stock and plenty of indoor space to perform the work and let the glue/glazing...

Last September at a Tesla SC I had 4 new tires installed and an alignment on my 2018 Model X. Removed tires had approximately 42,000 miles on them, car’s 2nd set of tires with 92,000 miles on car at time of service, and were showing excess wear on the inside of both front tires. Service took...

I was passing by this charging station earlier this evening and the bags were off of all of the charging stands. I detoured back to check it out. First tried 3C, I think, and it didn’t charge. Then 3A and charging started. After I confirmed that charging stand worked I had to move on to my...

This charging station is regularly at capacity on Sunday, especially on holiday weekends. Yesterday being a case in point. I pushed my range to charge in Lancaster. The charging station under construction in Mechanicsburg may help but it is only 8 stalls. Fortunately it is 250 kW while...

While you/we wait for this Downingtown supercharger to be active, the newly activated supercharger at the Wawa in Eagle is a great option when out running errands. I don’t think it has many users yet but that might change once it shows as an active supercharger on the Tesla navigation screen...

I charged at the Eagle Wawa this evening. I live fairly close and had not driven my car since yesterday. Weather was pretty cool. No Supercharger icon on navigation map yet. My car did not know that I was heading to a supercharger so no battery preheating. Charge from 50 mile remaining...

Construction at Wawa at 1800 Ticonderoga Blvd, Chester Springs, PA 19425 well under way.

An electric meter is now mounted in the electrical panel at future Bel Air supercharging station. Hopefully operations will follow soon.

I stopped by the Bel Air North SC construction site late this afternoon as today’s snow was beginning. Some progress. Does the dark green or black cabinet house the long awaited transformer? I neglected to photograph where the electric meter mounted. Just a hole with cardboard showing. So...

Great to hear. I’ll give it a try once I am out of quarantine.

I visited this site yesterday, 12/2, about 2 PM. Electric meter is now in place but the charging cable did not activate my charging door to open. This site will only be the first step in getting adequate SC coverage in the Philly suburbs.

Poor charging rate again here at Allentown SC. Was at 3A with car at 3B. Max kW was 39. Once other bays opened I moved over to 2A with 2B vacant. Only getting 57 kW. Seems like poor charging rates of last fall.

I stopped by Oneonta site on Nov 25 or 26. At that time there it did NOT appear that any work of any kind had been done since my previous post. Perhaps something in the two weeks since then. But doubt it.

Charged at Allentown this morning even though the SC was grayed out on navigation and noted as closed. Only one vehicle charging when I arrived. Used 3A. Max kW leveled out at 65 or so. SC appears to be working but not at charge rate we have experienced at other SC. No sign of work being done...

I was at Allentown SC a bit ago. Charging only got up to 16 kW. Couldn’t wait for the hour or more charging time to get to my destination. I got 9 miles in 10 minutes, enough to safely get to Basking Ridge SC. While driving I call Tesla 800#. After 30 minute wait I reported repeated charging...

Returned to Allentown charger today. Charger 1A would not engage to charge. Tried 3A, with car in 3B. Only got 8 kW. Did not improve after 5 minutes. Moved to 1B with 1A not occupied. Started at 80 kW. I don’t need much of a charge but it seems like this SC does not have anything like the posted...

Allentown/Whitehall charger bays full tonight. Very poor charging rate probably contributing to excessive time at changer & thus cars waiting. Several have left with minimum to get to next charging location - SC or home.

Some progress at Oneonta. Looking better but work still to be done.
