I met the very nice manager of the Hampton Inn this afternoon while charging. He told me that some sophisticated thieves cut all the Supercharger cables to steal the copper. This happened a week before the scheduled opening. He said it required a $500+ tool. Tesla had to replace all the cables...

It's Open! It's operational! I charged there on 12/24. There were cones in the spaces, but the Superchargers were illuminated. There is a Sam's Club right behind the Superchargers. They are located in the Hampton Inn parking lot right off I-75. Thee is a Cracker Barrell, Applebee's, J's...

This is great news. Heading north from Dayton, we usually hit Maumee with 30 miles remaining. We have two S60's. This will make the trip a breeze. Thanks for the great updates!

I live in Dayton, but often travel to Columbus. We charge at Easton before the trip back. Our second Model S does not have twin chargers, so this Supercharger will allow us to take either car to Columbus. Well done Tesla! We watched, and documented, construction of the Dayton Supercharger...

Great news. Way to go ibcs. I would have headed over this morning after reading your post, but my drive unit failed on I-70 East yesterday morning as I was driving from Columbus back to Dayton. The truck took my car to the Cincinnati Service Center. John and the team repaired it overnight...

Here is the latest update. This should be good news for Doug. I was at the Cincinnati Service Center this afternoon. They told me the Tesla team is in town, and borrowed one of their cars for testing. The site is scheduled to open tomorrow... Wednesday Nov 12th. As a veteran, I will take...

I just got back from the site. You can't get much closer than this. I believe the orange cones are there because the yellow stripes appear to be freshly painted, although Ibcs reported the lines last week. There is power to the meter, but no power to the Superchargers. Maybe someone can tell...

Hi Doug, I will head over there at lunch today. If it's not active by tomorrow, you can use our HPWC at BookFactory. Let us know if you need us to leave it out after hours. Lab Notebooks, Log Books, Custom Laboratory Notebooks - BookFactory

Hi Ibcs. I thought you'd be first. Congratulations. This is going to be good for Dayton.

Good news! I was the first one to plug in!!! Bad news.... the power wasn't on. I pulled up, and the crew had taken down most of the safety netting and was blowing away the construction dirt. I asked if it was ready, and they told me I could plug into #1. I did, but there was no power. The...

Hi, Doug, I will head out there at lunch today and post an update.

I just bought a few tickets for the National Humane Society Tesla Raffle. It's for a good cause, and the odds are pretty good, plus our pets are appreciative (at least I think they are). I am going to give them to my wife for her birthday. She keeps reminding me that driving her Leaf is...

I drove out there today. No workers at the site, but everything appears to be in place, including the transformer. Here are some updated pictures. - - - Updated - - - One more picture

I am planning to stop by after work today to check on the progress. I contacted Tesla in Columbus about ribbon cutting and press coverage. They are not planning anything, but suggested there might be a celebration once the I-70 corridor is complete. I suspect the installation team will move...

It looks like they are almost finished. Of course, it is difficult to tell what is going on behind the big wooden walls. These pictures are as of Sunday, 12 Oct.

Outstanding reporting IBCS! I notice that we are not even on the "Coming Soon" map. I hope Tesla has a grand opening event like they did in Macedonia. It was a lot of fun, and a lot of owners were there. I even made it from Dayton with my 60, but I had to stop at Easton for a boost. I would...

I drove over to check on progress today. They are making progress. A large electrical contractor truck towing a trailer was just leaving when I arrived. There are two Tesla banners. One can be seen from I-75. Here is a panoramic picture of the site. You can see how close it is to Chipolte...

I purchased the hitch, and am now looking for someone to install it. Does anyone have a cost estimate, and possibly a recommendation for a body shop in the Dayton-Columbus-Cincinnati Ohio area?

This is a very useful app. Are there any plans to get it certified for the Apps Store?

This sounds like a great idea. I can meet on the 24th. Just let me know where and when.

I hope this is not the case, but it could be something as simple as Elon offering a $1M reward to anyone that drives a Model S, exactly the way the New York Times reporter did, and runs out of charge.
