V4 pedestals are black at the bottom. You can see the regular white panel and silver sides there at the bottom.

Still nothing happening here. This one would be a good option to support highway traffic passing through so I hope it still happens. The other charger going in up the road is great for all the apartments on that road, but inconvenient from the highway...

This is a great spot to support all the apartments down this road. Give all those residents an opportunity to own an EV. It is not good for highway access. Hopefully the one down the road at Royal Farms still happens to support that, but no activity there yet.

I drove by yesterday. No activity. Still bagged, fenced, and holes in the pavement.

Didn't stop, but pretty certain I saw pedestals as I drove by. These will be great spot for me. I used westbound yesterday.

Not all bad, if you had a Frosty! Can you go inside the Wendy's now? Was terrible that you couldn't forever. I used to stop at the plaza for restroom then exit and charge.

Shows as live on the map now!

Why does this say target opening Q3 now on Tesla site? Seems like it should be active within a couple months. And this one is really needed. I've never had good experience at Norfolk charger: slow, broken chargers, lines.

Cabinets are now installed rather than on pallets. Looks just about ready to go

I'm always game for Frosty and JBC, but you still can't get inside to use the restroom. I've been stopping at the turnpike plaza for restroom then wendy's for charging, and usually skip ordering anything since I don't want to take longer to wait in drive through line first.

Sorry, meant to say westbound. There was nothing at the eastbound plaza.

I was through Somerset this weekend. Eastbound plaza had a fenced off construction area, but no signs of what was happening though that one says opening Q2 so seems likely getting started. Unfortunately I wasn't even thinking about it when I stopped there so I didn't get a picture or look more...

The biggest thing to be aware of is the Norfolk supercharger is not very good. It is frequently busy and slow and sometimes very slow. I have seen stalls not work and have had to replug several times before it would charge without stopping after a minute. Only charger I have ever had to wait...

Wow, someone finally found it! Hopefully it goes in this year. Was hoping it would be at the Wawa just a little closer to the shore, but more space at this one so probably works better. This is only 11 miles from Norfolk charger but is much needed. In the few times I have used Norfolk...

Spectacular charging experience! Added 138mi in 11 or 12 minutes. Even after that at over 50%, was still charging over 500mi/hr. Besides being v3, the restrooms are reasonably clean for a gas station (Royal Farms). Nothing else convenient for food, but it's not bad if you need a bite...

Used it twice this week and not a good charger. Should try to avoid if possible. This needs fixed/upgraded and the VAB charger is definitely needed. Sat 6/13/20 - I used stall 1A and charged at a slow 33kW. Stall 1B was tried by several cars while I was there and wasn't working. A line was...

Actually one of the Motortrend articles specifically mentioned a "nose-mounted camera" to help since you have limited view of the front end. So that should allow for 360 view or at least better views for parking.

Browsing through some photos... Could these be mount points or post holes for roof racks or other accessories? Actually surprising to see this possibility already on the prototype but looks like these may be just that. Mountpoints1 by scaots posted Feb 8, 2020 at 4:30 PMMountpoints2 by scaots...

Depends on the motors. Model S and X are more efficient with dual motor because of the type of motor that they can be power off in a neutral state and use a smaller more efficient motor in front for cruising and dual motor regen. 3 and Y use permanent magnet motors that must use power when...

At highway speeds in cold weather, you might lose a third of your range or possibly even more (especially with a load). So single motor isn't much range if you plan to do much travel in it, otherwise should be fine if you don't need AWD. I want AWD and the dual motor is probably the most...

Oops, think I understand now. Yes it's normal. When it stops charging and the battery cools, it will report less range available. Cold battery can't provide as much power. If it warms up it can show more power again. On a cool morning that is getting warm, I can get to work and end up with...

When temp is around or below freezing, do not expect to gain any charge from a regular 110V 15A outlet. It is just enough power to warm the battery enough to allow for charging, but does not add any significant range. Not sure of your charger setup, but... When temp is around or below...

Went by this morning. They are excavating so looking promising for a quick build.
