    Supercharger - Orlando, FL - Millenia Plaza Way

    As of April 2. Can see Target, McDonalds, Verizon signs in pics as to location. Charging on both sides? Looked like 3 side chargers, poss a future 4th one. Lots of traffic getting from from I-4 but more options while charging. Click on a photo for a larger clearer view.

    Supercharger - Winter Park, FL

    Big Earl was correct. 15 minute general parking at this Wawa which will be a problem as Telsa production ramps up as irish26 indicated. I don't recall during my past charging at other Wawa stores, do all or some of them allow this also? To obtain a great Wawa location near the interstate and...

    Supercharger - Winter Park, FL

    My response to xkctr8se: There are a few ICE / ticket type notices created by various folks I have seen over the years. Evannex Aftermarket Tesla Accessories has a friendly one on their site www.evannex.com you can get. On their site, select a model, then speciality items. My response to Big...

    Supercharger - Winter Park, FL

    This pic shows the entire Winter Park charging site soon to open. Not surprised to find this morning a SuperCharger being ICE'd already. Parking is popular in the rear of Wawa since they have an access door in the back of store also. I was tempted to leave an unofficial preprinted ticket in...

    Anyone wondering about the "Coming Soon" Supercharger Stations in Florida?

    1. Superchargers are designed for long distance travel, owners can travel to nearly every part of the USA using existing network. I don't believe they have forgotten that their SC network is one of the many things that has made Tesla superior. I have been using the SC network traveling to other...

    J1772 Adapter stuck, car won't charge

    I hope Tesla Lowers the Supercharging Rates

    Superchargers are suppose to be used for long distance travel (not local charging -> unless) and urban SCs for owners that are unable to install their own charger if say they live in a condo or setting that doesn't allow to install a personal or shared charger for whatever reason, think NYC...

    Anyone wondering about the "Coming Soon" Supercharger Stations in Florida?

    jotango stated: how bout one by disneyworld? Tesla has a supercharger planned for Celebration, FL which is very close (5 mi or so) to the Disney property. The Sand Lake road superchargers in south Orlando at the Wa Wa store, which are open, are less than 10 miles away from Disney (7.5mi to...

    New Supercharger discovered under construction in Winn-Dixie parking lot in Saint Johns Commons

    suwaneedad, said "Not sure I'm impressed with this particular new spot though; have to play chicken to cross the highway to get to decent food." Although somewhat near St Augustine SC I agree, this location looks easier to access right off the I-95 compared to St Augustine SC. Tesla has to...

    Curb rash repair.

    You might want to purchase some rim protection bands once the rash is fixed. I just did. Got them for my 3 but might also get them for my S. Wheel Bands Kit for Tesla Model 3. They have them for the X also. The bands are suppose to protect rash at 5 mph or less. I am hopeful they will work just...

    Key Fob To The Rescue?

    Drawfour said: I think the cost is very reasonable. Free. Is it free to existing M3 owners? I thought the fob was free only with future deliveries.

    Key Fob To The Rescue?

    I will obtain a fob for my M3 since I have grown use to my key fob for my model S. Very dependable. Hope the cost is reasonable.

    Model 3 to get a key fob

    It appears that M3 might be getting a key fob to unlock doors, trunk and frunk. We now know what it might look like according to the Electrek article. FCC is now reviewing the application. Tesla Model 3 is finally getting a key fob – first images I will obtain a fob for my M3 since I have...

    Supercharger - Altamonte Springs, FL

    The new large Tesla sign I guess has acted as a "don't park here". Good deal.

    Supercharger - Altamonte Springs, FL

    Are we sure that the SC parking spaces being ICEd are the vehicles of WholeFoods employees? Who has verified this? There are much closer WholeFoods general parking spaces available as opposed to the SC spots. There are also other stores nearby the SC station (including a movie theater lot that...

    Supercharger - Altamonte Springs, FL

    Once Altamonte SC goes live, the local ICE vehicles occupying our spaces will hopefully see a visible presence of more and more Telsa vehicles charging and get the hint to NOT park here. Also there will be opportunity for Tesla owners to educate these folks about the ICED spots. There is a...

    Supercharger - Altamonte Springs, FL

    I guess I was lucky to get in a short 20 minute charge on Monday before Tesla took it off line Tuesday. I had stopped on the way home from a trip since my map on the monitor indicated it was online at the time. Now that I think about it, my screen did say no power the first time I plugged it in...

    Supercharger - Altamonte Springs, FL

    When I tried the new SC today which worked great, I noticed one of the spaces was ICED today also. I purchased some of these printed courtesy notices but did not have any with me to use unfortunately. Charging Hang Tag / Courtesy Notice Bundle Perhaps Tesla just hasn't placed their signs as of...

    Supercharger - Altamonte Springs, FL

    Looks like all the supercharger covers in Altamonte Springs, FL are now on and other hardware in place. This is a better angle photo. Final approval to turn on the power is hopefully soon.

    Supercharger - Altamonte Springs, FL

    Looks like they started construction in Altamonte Springs on at least 8 superchargers when I went by today. Although they had up fences and coverings to prevent seeing much, I managed to take a couple of pics over the fence to show the early stage of digging preparation. Finally some action...

    Anyone wondering about the "Coming Soon" Supercharger Stations in Florida?

    I recently heard that the Orlando Tesla supercharger would be located near I-4 and Colonial Drive (Highway 50). I have not seen any construction or spotted the exact site but will keep my eyes open for any activity to confirm. No construction activity either as of yet at the Altamonte Springs...

    The "Jacksonville Supercharger" is likely going to be in Kingsland, Georgia.

    Larry, Thanks for the Jacksonville supercharger update. This location is really needed for 60 owners. Tallahassee location is really needed also. I hope that other planned superchargers on the Telsa map for 2015 get built soon to fill in the gaps when traveling, especially with a 60. As a...

    The "Jacksonville Supercharger" is likely going to be in Kingsland, Georgia.

    What is the most recent status of the Jacksonville supercharger? Taking a trip to Asheville, NC / mountains in late October. A year ago had only 2 miles left on my 60 (single charger) from St Augustine supercharger to Savannah with 3 people. Is there a local Jacksonville MS owner that has...

    2nd Orlando Supercharger

    This location is just north of downtown Orlando off interstate 4 near a nice office park in Maitland. A BMW dealer is located 1/2 mile north on other side of I-4 in case they have business deals as talked about in the earlier post. Although this location is only 5 miles from my house which is...

    Supercharger - Turkey Lake, FL

    Welcome to Orlando. Don't have to plan for a charger anymore. Nice photo. I like the location of these chargers being able to pull in instead of carefully backing up to most other Superchargers. I hope Tesla adds more of these kind for this reason.

    I'm officially an owner

    Glad to have one more Model S on the road in Orlando! 1.5 years later, I am still excited about my Tesla. Central FL group has been meeting at the Longwood Service Ctr in the past but this forum trying to organize future regular meetings at the Mall of Millennia...

    Prescheduled, Recurring Meet-ups in Orlando

    I like option 3 since it alternatives days since my schedule varies. The Mall at Millenia is Orlando's upscale mall and a nice area to meet at. Once meetings begin, we can then decide if this or another one of the many restaurants on mall property is the best place to meet. ie Parking, noise...

    Supercharger - Gainesville, FL

    I actually prefer the Gaineville SC location. I live in Orlando like many other S owners and want get to Atlanta and north of with my 60. For those south, I think Tesla will add a SC in the Orlando area not to mention the Tampa SC coming sooner.
