Stopped by the store today. All construction on the SC seems to be complete. One of the sales rep, Pat, mentioned that the SC is just waiting for final inspections which could take up to 2 weeks... Hopefully it will be sooner than that!

Eversource truck is onsite and the techs are working on the transformer. Any time now... :smile:

Stopped by this evening. It's still not active. I had to take a detour to W. Hartford SC to charge...

I missed yesterday so I'm game for Nov. 5th. ModelS1079, I'll PM you soon.

Sweet! I'm pulling out my ski racks!!

Ha ha! Don't jinx it!! :tongue:

Hooray!!!! MA finally has a first SC! I'm game if others want to plan a celebratory get together this weekend.

Hooray! I'm glad this has been resolved. My question is why has the inspector found the issues with licensing in September? Shouldn't this kind of issue be found out and resolved at the beginning of the project and not at the end?

My fingers are crossed! I am hoping for a quick resolution.

I think Tesla will need to bring this issue with the US Supreme Court eventually. Given the fact that Tesla is fighting in each states, the company's strategy may be just that.

Still waiting for the report from Ed? Hmm... Can someone give a little kick in his you know where? At this rate Auburn SC will be up and running first. With hundreds of Tesla Superchargers in operation around the world with zero controversies and issues, what does the town of Bourne know...

so great to see such smooth and fast progress! I am so excited about this location!!!!

Wow... this whole thing feels like I'm going down the rabbit hole. Someone please hand me the blue pill, quick!

Thanks for the update! Auburn SC seems to be moving at a faster rate than the Sagamore SC. I'm hoping that it will be up brfore Thanksgiving...

It's just a distortion from camera lens. Fence has not moved closer. :)

Just drove by the spot. It's still cordoned off but everything seems to be ready. I think it will be up very soon pending final sign off.

I'm just happy that we're finally getting one on the pike!

I second that! Finally!!

Woohoo! Getting close!

Thanks! Works like a charm!

That's why I said almost ready... The link is only accessible directly from a Google search. You can't get to the page from the shopping site's links...

Looks like Tesla's CHAdeMO adapter is almost ready. I came across the purchase link with the active buy button. I went through the purchase process successfully. I hope it's for real... I guess I'll find out soon enough.

@pbleic, big congrats and hello! - - - Updated - - - How are your first few days with MS? ;)

Hello @tliving! Welcome to the forum, and a big congrats to your ownership! You'll soon be driving your MS with a permanent Tesla grin every day!

Range charge. I schedule the charger to max charge couple of hours before I leave in the morning. This way the battery is at max level for relatively short period.

I drive regularly from Boston to Northampton, which is about 110 miles each way. If I drive at about 65mph then I end up with about 20 miles of rated range left with my P85 when I get back home. If you're just going for a single meeting without any side trips then you should be OK... Otherwise...

It's great to see the Sturbridge/Charlton location being put back on the map, and one for the Cape too! Communicating with the Supercharger team at Tesla seems to be bearing fruit! We still need one on 93 near Concord, NH or Hooksett, NH... My feeling is that Tesla does have one planned for...

Tesla is literally the car of the future you can drive today! No matter which configuration you choose you will be in cloud 9 every time you're in it!

Since you're in California, a P85+ will be a blast! I drove a loaner P+ for a day and I did notice a big difference in handling and traction, especially in cornering. Unfortunately for me (maybe fortunately for my wallet!), New England roads are brutal on 21" wheels... So I had to settle for a...

If you have any second thoughts and if your financial situation allows for it then by all means you should go with P85. You will not regret it. I went from S85 to P85 and I absolutely love it! And zero regrets!

Great!

Here are the pics of Superchargers Flat Stanley visited over the weekend in New England during my trip to DC for the TeslaRoadTrip 2014 event. Flat Stanley visited the following stations over the weekend: Darien, CT south bound Darien, CT, north bound Milford CT, north bound He also visited...

More pics from @TeslaRoadTrip 2014 I had a blast! Thank you to all the organizers and attendees for making the event a great success! Here are some more pics. See you all next year!

So true! I'd rather own a barebone S60 over any other ICE luxury cars on the market... :)

Lol! Actually I did print out Flat Stanley but forgot to bring it along on my trip! I had to get creative to keep the promise. ;) And @Monsoon, I just had my MS detailed the day before! :biggrin: - - - Updated - - - :smile: I was thinking exactly the same thing right before I did it!

Typical Tesla hype! :). Coming soon in Tesla-speak can be 6 months plus!

This SC is sorely needed. It will alleviate a lot of range anxiety driving between Boston and DC.

Such a horrible story... My condolences to the victim's family... Tesla will get used for anything, just like other manufacturers with deep pockets. That smell excuse is one for the record books! :crying:

It looks great! I think I'll have it done to my P!

Going through the dealer channels, I wouldn't be surprised that Q8 will hit $170k+...

Here are my thoughts on the must have options for NE driving: - 85kw. - longer range is always a must, especially in winter. And Supercharging feature is fantastic! - 19in wheels with winter tires... Consider a second set of 21in wheels for summer driving if you want better road handling. -...

I think you made a great choice! The options you chose are great! My 2 cents - black is fine too with an Opticoat treatment. But grey is super nice looking. :)

Get the P85+ if you're even questioning whether you should get it. This is from a guy who drives a P! It makes a noticeable difference in handling and stability. And the California weather is perfect for the +! But the P85 and S85 are no slouch either. Just be prepared to budget for all the...

:biggrin:

Flat Stanely @ East Greenwich, RI Supercharger Flat Stanley (virtually on a Google Nexus 7) at the East Greenwich SC! :smile:

It really is a leap of faith. Owning a Tesla is like a religious conversion! I have never felt this way about a car before, but I am completly smitten by my Model S. Don't sweat the small stuff and drink the Coolaid! You'll be happy you did!

East Greenwich RI is a 120kw I'm charging at 390 mi/hr!

I didn't check closely but I think 4 slots are 30 minutes parking and other 4 are EV only. However I don't think the signs matter... I will be alerting Tesla about it, but I'm not sure whether anything can be done about it. The shopping center is very busy and open parking spots can be hard...

When I arrived at the East Greenwich, RI SC, 7 out of 8 spots were ICE'd! I spoke with one ICE owner who parked inthe spot about the spots being reserved for Tesla charging needs, he was very annoyed about it, to the point of being hostile! This SC could be a big problem spot in the future when...

I'm sorry to hear it... :(. Every time I hear about another Tesla needing body repair it make me cringe! It's so sad to see such beautiful machines needing some TLC. I just picked up my P85 from Hollis last Tuesday (after six weeks!) because of an accident in December that caused damage to my...
