I do agree you need a threshold cut-off (and a consistent threshold), but this location is also 8.4 miles from US-61 and 7.9 miles from US-78... both which seem like a reasonable detour for a pit-stop

Gotta love the people in the State of Alabama, were we try to de-conflict Football stadium tailgating from other activities. Seriously it is a good idea to warn those not familiar with Football Saturday's Down South

A study by the U.S. General Accounting Office (GAO) determined that the road damage caused by a single 18-wheeler was equivalent to the damage caused by 9,600 cars. (GAO: Excessive Truck Weight: An Expensive Burden We Can No Longer Afford) The study seems to have based its calculations around...

I am just surprised that of the 15 Austin SC sites listed as "permitted", one actually started construction

Note it is common for Tesla to officially name their Supercharging Sites without regard to what locals might claim is inside or outside a city. That actually may make sense from a traveler driving up and down the interstate. Tesla may officially name this Supercharger as "Halifax" (a small...

I assume a safe guess this is the location what the Tesla Find Us, Find Us | Tesla, calls Roanoke Rapids, NC Roanoke Rapids, NC

Excellent news In the future, please post such news in the Community > TMC Community > Americas > Southeast Forum. The geographic based forums will get more notice and continual progress updates. Here Southeast A moderator will likely move your post to that forum, until then please...

Here is what I know. The Find Us | Tesla website was updated August 2nd or so. There are posts on TMC discussing several "obvious errors and omissions". The omissions maybe things like TMC super-users find permits for Super Chargers are retail outlets like WaWa or Sheetz which were not also...

I agree this entire topic is not well covered in depth. Here is my summary why it is hard to discuss. No idea about the real payload limitation. 1. It is hard to search for cargo weight (or payload weight / payload capacity) without the search also finding dozens or 100s of false hits on...

Thanks Summary - US 7 seater MY has a payload of 1157lbs from post #3, curtesy of dduffey US 5 seater MY has a payload of 826lbs from post #7, curtesy of marym23

Does anyone have a similar picture of a US Model Y with 5 seats? There are several sites/forum posts with numbers which range from very low (and likely very wrong) to something like 8xx pounds

I am curious on the answer also. Page 183 of the Model Y manual PDF gives "example calculations", starting with a Vehicle capacity weight of 954 pounds or 433 kg. I think this number is supposed to be officially documented on a sticker, which may change depending upon tires or other modest...

Unless the the glass roof is a perfect 3D rectangular solid... it maybe hard to have a common frame of reference on measuring and using dimensions (e.g. how to account for any curved surfaces near the edge). Also, depending upon your purpose... does exact mean within 1 mm, or a tenth of an...

Here is a collection of links I found to the US Dept of Energy Alternate Fuel Data Center Alternative Fuels Data Center: Maps and Data You may need to combine info from 2 different data sets, I have not found that exact data in a pre-generated plot > Note entire site seems data friendly, ease...

Lets talk about the 3 August update to this page Find Us | Tesla and South Carolina (I-95, I-26 and Columbia). First, 4 "coming soon" Superchargers on I-95 in South Carolina sounds great but they are spaced about every 25 miles in the southern part of South Carolina. -- Yemassee SC (4Q 2021)...

Here is a pro-Buc-ees article, from Texas Monthly, which has 1 sentence on "no sitting on the job". "Buc-ee’s pays its employees well above market rate; cashiers start at $14 per hour in most locations and get three weeks’ paid vacation and a 401(k) plan, in an industry where it’s common for...

Lets talk about this map update and South Carolina (I-95, I-26 and Columbia). First, 4 "coming soon" Superchargers on I-95 in South Carolina sounds great but they are spaced about every 25 miles in the southern part of South Carolina. -- Yemassee SC (4Q 2021) has an I-95 interchange with a...

Great ideas, but retailers use metrics like sales per square foot of floor space. A nice lounge is the opposite of what most retailers want (which is high turnover). Remember, if a store is already supporting gas and inside-sales to 200+ cars and hour, dedicating almost any amount of inside...

I saw that also, but I could not find an online method to search for building permits to do any reconnaissance. Marion county has a decent website, but no search function that I saw. Several good candidate locations at the US-72 and I-24 intersection.

Can anyone give more status on the Auburn Al superchargers? Note that Tesla updated their Find Us | Tesla map with lots of new entries, but... has removed the Auburn supercharger from their map, replaced with the gray icon which says "Auburn, AL Target opening in Q2 2022" plugshare.com shows...

Buc-ees is a private company and seems very tight lipped. They have only recently expanded outside Texas, so they are open to change, but also have had fights with local county planners and local opposition groups and cancelled planned stores over not generous enough tax incentives. They do...

I wonder why only 6 charging stations/posts? The obvious answer is lack of parking space, or that is as much as Royal Farms wanted to give up. My understanding is that V3 Supercharger cabinets support 4 charging pedestals, so it seems a waste. From google maps, there seems to be plenty of...

A partial story of the Atlantic Steel Mill (an industrial site) which was redeveloped into Atlantic Station (a neighborhood) is on wikipedia. As with most redevelopment of industrial sites... ground contamination remains a common concern. "Atlantic Station is located on the site of the...

The paragraph discussing Figure 4 is clear, if charged "on a per-use basis" today's network might be worth 1 Billion, but if the network grows to 500,000 chargers, and demand (daily chargers) increases then the math scales to 25 Billion. “In Exhibit 4, we show the potential revenue opportunity...

plugshare.com does not show any hotels with chargers (Telsa or otherwise) in the immediate Crossville area. Cumberland Mountain State Park is on the opposite side of Crossville than the winery, so it may help if you are in that area. The state park has 2 Blink J1772 chargers, which were...

As discussed on reddit and elsewhere on TMC, the State of Alabama recently announced 18 grants to bring EV charging stations in accordance with the long term state diesel-gate plan. Both linked below. Gov. Ivey announces grants to install electric vehicle charging points in Alabama Alabama...

Great document. Really geared toward alternative Federal Highway Administration fuel corridor designation, which means Focus solely on Electric Vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure and not any Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicle infrastructure at this time (glad they spell that out, but it show how...

Concur that Buc-ees would have been much better than a Taco Bell. Is that Buc-ees even open? I think it is announced to open in 2021. I wonder if that was a factor. Even the Loves Travel Stop (same exit as Bus-ees) would be better than a fast-food alley one exit away with Taco Bello...

I was looking at the map. The location is about 5 miles (as the crow flies) from I-20, I-65, and I-459, however cars do not fly. About 5 miles to I-459 along US 280 South About 5 miles to I-20 along US 280 heading North About 5 miles on a direct path to I-65 (but thru local roads). Could...

We are at the leading edge of gas stations, convenience stores, quick-marts, and such hosting Tesla Superchargers and/or CCS chargers. Some provide an easy way to check which of their locations provide that service, many do not. From my clicking around, Sheetz (sheetz.com) has many Telsa...

Is the Fair Play Supercharger even listed on plugshare? Or have I missed up my filters again?

Sometime last week, I did some searching and found the grant application. It spells out 14 incredibly detailed criteria (which are obvious if you drive EVs and want to re-charge). and yes ChadeMO connectors are required. See item #3 Bolded items are my emphasis, but the entire list is...

Concur, the carrot-and-stick approach is what I called it. Here is the complete paragraph on Cadillac from the linked article. Cadillac, which aims to go all-electric by the end of the decade, is a different story. It had only one plug-in model in recent history—the ELR plug-in hybrid—that...

The relationship between OEMs (Ford, General Motors, etc) and their dealerships is more complex than most any of us realize: spanning franchise agreements (legal documents); state laws (which often favor the local dealerships); all levels of training (more than just mechanics); and complex...

Concur that Alabama needs more Superchargers. Note that EA and other providers are upping their services in Alabama (funded by diesel gate) ... and I think the competition is good for Tesla and Electronic Vehicles in general EA already has 7 CCS sites. In June 2021 Alabama Governor Ivey...

I have not found a way to search for Buc-ees with any type of electronic charging (Supercharging, EA, etc). However, a Buc-ees in Alabama got a grant to install 4 CCS chargers (100kW minimum). More discussion at this thread below, including an Buc-ees' suggestion email address. Chargers...

I have not found a way to search for electronic charging at individual Buc-ees locations. However, this June 10th, 2021 article below describes 18 grants from Alabama for electronic chargers along I-20, metro Birmingham, and related North Alabama locations. Grants require CCS chargers and...

I have visited many National Parks and State Parks, and I would love for significant DC chargers to be built to serve them. Unfortunately, even pre-COVID their infrastructure was close to overwhelmed, now much worse with Summer-2021-reawakening crowds (I cannot call today post-COVID)...

The article below describes the Buc-ee's ground breaking is clear that the Buc-ee's "location will be at the corner of Interstate Drive and Genesis Road just south of I-40", while the service address for the permit is North of I-40. Those 2 addresses are literally only a few blocks away, so it...

Closing the B'ham to Meridian MS gap with a Tuscaloosa SC would be a tremendous help for many in Alabama and those passing thru. Ditto for a Dothan SC. But of course, you know that... Both are listed by Tesla as "2022" (which means very little) but could benefit from campaigns from local...
