    Supercharger - Wilson, NC

    Simply Natural Creamery & Jersey Farm opened their Wilson ice cream shop yesterday and it’s about 12 minutes from the Superchargers. Their ice cream shop in Greenville, NC is a smidge closer to those Superchargers. If you exit out the east side beside Waffle House you can avoid the U turn that...

    Does anyone see Wilson listed in their car’s navigation map yet? My software & map data are up to date.

    Supercharger Location - Whiteville, NC

    As I stated in a previous post, this Smithfield’s Chicken ‘N Bar-B-Q location currently has two Tesla Destination chargers. [CREDIT: Google Street View] I actually reached out via social media back in March, and this was the response. Other Supercharger locations in NC hosted by SCNB: Garner...

    Supercharger Location - Whiteville, NC

    Anyone in NC taking 74 to or from the beach this week? Curious if any work has begun on the Whiteville site that’ll be hosted by Smithfield’s Chicken ‘N Bar-B-Q? It’s less than a mile from the exit (241).

    Did you count the post whose cable run was shifted to the back of the van accessible space, instead of flanking the column. See pic posted on the 17th.

    I just installed Circle K’s Charge app and their chargers are free at the moment. So if you have a CCS adapter and there’s a spot open you’ll probably wanna opt for one of their spaces, just be sure to check the app before you decide where to park.

    Supercharger - Wilson, NC

    So, for those wondering here’s how the EV charging area’s lighting looks at night. The four 3’s will be used the least at night. I moved to 3D and the sweeping headlights of cars pulling through Krystal’s drive thru will be bothersome for most folks. The CCS towers and charging cabinet shield...

    And I can confirm that 5B is out of order. I figured I’d try plugging in to see if it was a false positive.

    Wilson has 8 of 20 stalls active, unless there’s actually 12 Teslas there right now.

    Supercharger - Wilson, NC

    I’ll keep an eye on the Find Us page and the app. The pattern I’ve noticed is the pin will move from the center of the city/town to the actual location. And then it’ll be active there, then the app, then in dash navigation. When it comes online I’ll have 63 Superchargers within 25 miles of me...

    Supercharger - Wilson, NC

    So a reporter from the local paper happened to stop and talk with me in the Krystal. Circle K opens with state’s first Krystal restaurant - Restoration NewsMedia NO ONE mentioned free EV charging yesterday while I was there, granted I couldn't have taken advantage of the CCS charging.

    Supercharger - Wilson, NC

    If planning to charge at this location, drive PAST the location and turn at the crossing for Waffle House and Krystal. The entrance to the EV Charging area is on the eastern side of site. If you turn at the crossing before the location you'll contend with the ICE folks parked in front or under...

    Supercharger - Wilson, NC

    Well, I actually went this morning. One of the Circle K staff that was there for the opening rented a Polestar and parked it in one of the CCS parking spaces. He mentioned he owns a Model 3 and said he would've brought his CCS adapter if he'd known a Tesla while the Superchargers were still...

    Ugh. I guess I'll pretend to charge if I go to the grand opening of the Krystal/Circle K.

    Supercharger - Wilson, NC

    I did swing by yesterday morning for Krystal’s soft opening. Wasn’t first inside customer, but as I was finishing breakfast they realized they hadn’t removed the cones from drive thru so I gave’em some added practice with their first drive thru order. The “grand opening” for the Circle...

    Supercharger - Wilson, NC

    Did you notice if the Superchargers had been labeled yet? That's seemingly one of the final remaining steps. The transformer for the Superchargers IS powered, when last I checked it was still sitting at all zeroes.

    Supercharger - Wilson, NC

    Stopped by this evening. The Superchargers are still unlabeled and the EV charging area was blocked off. For those who might be wondering, Krystal will open tomorrow at 6 am. Here are the location’s hours posted on their front door.

    Supercharger - Morrisville, NC (RDU)

    The canopy is well lit at night and a LOT of various vehicles have been parking/idling in front of those EV spaces these last several months. The trash cans are already being put to use. When I stopped last night were three other cars sitting in front of the canopy. The 24/7 drive thru lane...

    Supercharger - Morrisville, NC (RDU)

    Stopped by after the concert at PNC Arena. Four of the twelve v4 charging pedestals have been put in place. Two flanking the canopy column closest to the v3.5 charging cabinets still need to be done. Was standing in the van accessible space when I took this next one. Shows five of the...

    Flight landed after 12:30, so it was after 1 when I swung by.

    Supercharger - Morrisville, NC (RDU)

    Swung by this morning on the way to RDU. Pedestals are still boxed and cabinets are still wrapped.

    Supercharger - Wilson, NC

    Flying out tomorrow for a bit, so wanted to stop by one more time. Tesla stalls still not numbered, nor powered yet. Krystal’s drive-thru was being power washed while I was there, and the restaurant’s exterior lighting kicked on as I left. It figures the Krystal might open while I’m gone this...

    Tryon St location seems to be waiting on a transformer. I'd looked through the pics posted on the thread and didn't see one. This tweet confirms it's not there yet.

    Supercharger - Wilson, NC

    Swung by this afternoon after car show (wasn’t only EV this year). Took advantage of open spaces in front to snag a shot in front of Krystal to upload to its Google Maps listing when it shows up. Video shot standing on the sidewalk near the fenced off drive thru for Krystal. Starting at the...

    Supercharger - Wilson, NC

    Swung by this morning and crews were are at work on the canopy for the gas pumps, as well as other parts of the parking lot in front of the Circle K. Electrician was inside the Krystal working. Chairs sitting on top of tables in the dining area. As far as the EV parking area, a landscaper was...

    Supercharger - Morrisville, NC (RDU)

    I stopped by last night after volunteering at the concert at the PNC Arena. They'd cut power to the canopy so it was dark on that side of the Sheetz. Foundations for the cabinets have been poured but none of the pedestals have been placed under the canopy yet. If facing the canopy with your...

    Supercharger - Charlotte, NC - Panara Dr

    Has anyone been by recently to see if the charging pedestals have been delivered. V4 pedestals arrived this week at the Supercharger site being built in Morrisville, NC, so maybe Concord has gotten theirs?
  28. jstrickland

    Supercharger - Morrisville, NC (RDU)

    Doesn't seem anyone has been by the location in Concord and confirmed their pedestals have been delivered, but it is interesting that they wrote V4 in the permitting, as well as "(2) WASTE MANAGEMENT BINS." Morrisville Sheetz has'em beat in the trash can ratio, and covered EV spaces. Has...

    Supercharger - Morrisville, NC (RDU)

    Well folks. Morrisville is getting the first V4 Chargers in North Carolina!! Friend was out training with other guardsmen this week, came home for the night, and swung by to check. Since the cabinets are V3.5 they won’t be full V4 charging.

    Few minutes ago. Tesla Supercharers uncovered but not numbered yet. Also, not powered.

    Supercharger - Wilson, NC

    So, someone commented on my X post about the site just a short while ago and wrote that the Circle K cashier stated the Krystal would open tomorrow. Granted that doesn't mean the EV chargers will be live, but I'm going to drive up this evening and check on the Superchargers. The pin for Wilson...

    Supercharger - Morrisville, NC (RDU)

    No new deliveries yesterday. I have a friend who works off National Guard Drive, the street that Ts into Aviation Parkway and forms the corner that Sheetz #399 sits on, so she passes by twice daily. I sent her a few pics of the shipping boxes for the charging pedestals from other sites so she...

    Supercharger - Morrisville, NC (RDU)

    As I wrote in my post, Sheetz branded chargers was pure speculation. You pointed out in your January 4th post that the layout of the power conduits coming out of the concrete is going to make for interesting placement of the chargers. It would seem a pair of chargers will flank each of the...

    Supercharger - Morrisville, NC (RDU)

    So, I swung by yesterday since I think we can all admit this charging location has been something of an oddity. There is still no grey pin in Morrisville on Tesla’s Find Us map to indicate this as a future Tesla Supercharger location. Could the charging stalls that arrive be Sheetz branded? Yes...

    Supercharger - Wilson, NC

    I’m clearly not used to documenting CCS chargers.🤦🏻‍♂️ There are two cables per tower, so there are TEN EV spaces for charging on the Circle K chargers.

    Supercharger - Wilson, NC

    Went by today. So, there are actually FIVE Circle K 180 kW CCS chargers. If anyone should stop by you’ll want to pull in between thd Waffle House & Circle K and park in the “lower lot” meant for 18 wheelers. Recently paved so be mindful of the two inch lip that may still be there. I parked along...

    Sales & Service Center may be coming to High Point

    Someone added a Google Maps listing and there are new photos. Parking lot looks newly surfaced with the parking spaces marked. Two superchargers out front and 4 destination chargers based on the photos. https://maps.app.goo.gl/69BFJiF63oGW1mfe7

    Supercharger - Wilson, NC

    Watch the video posted to the thread on April 27th., he discusses the Circle K CCS chargers.. The bollards closest to the NE corner of the building, where Krystal will be located is where Circle K placed the power runs for their CCS chargers. You can see three of the bollards in my photo on...

    Had they started paving the back parking lot?

    The five pre-fab sets are in the ground. Their respective cabinets in place. 20 wrapped Superchargers waiting for the rest of the site work to be completed. Based on earlier posts and online articles, the target date for the Krystal opening is next month. Hopefully the Superchargers will go live...

    Supercharger Location - Whiteville, NC

    Does anyone know if they've broken ground on this location yet? Allegedly if construction has started it'll be completed, but if everything is still just paper the rollout has been slowed.

    Supercharger - Hickory, NC - NC-127

    Driving back last Sunday (4/21) from the Drive Electric Earth Month event in Asheville I stopped to charge. As I turned the corner at the shrubbery, I caught an KIA EV9 out of the corner of my eye and thought it was charging. Which I knew it shouldn’t be able to. Turns out it was in a regular...

    Supercharger - Franklin, NC

    Thanks for the photo. Glad to see the transformer is on site. It’d be nice if Franklin came online while I’m in the mountains Saturday for the National Drive Electric event at Haywood Community College near Clyde. A Cybertruck signed up to participate, so it’ll be my first time seeing one. WNC...

    Knightdale, NC is another 11 pedestal location. It’s 11 on the pin still throws when I look at area superchargers on the nav map.

    Supercharger Location - Whiteville, NC

    Well chalk this up to one of those "it never hurts to ask" moments. I sent SCNB a message on social media and the response I got back was, "thanks for reaching out it will be switched to a supercharger site we are still waiting on a date regarding this project" In Google Maps, if you drop the...

    Supercharger Location - Whiteville, NC

    I was down there in November for the 3rd Annual Open Car & Truck Show held during the NC Pecan Harvest Festival and thought I'd be a good midway point along 74 between I-95 and Wilmington for a Supercharger location. Will the two destination chargers at the local Smithfield's Chicken 'N Bar-B-Q...

    Destination charger - Whiteville, NC Smithfield’s

    Curious if this location will "upgrade"to Superchargers like the SCNB in Garner, NC. Whiteville is now listed as an upcoming Supercharger location on Tesla's Find Us page.

    Supercharger - Durham NC (Southpoint Mall area)

    Tesla's Find Us page now has a new active "red" pin for Durham with 6901 Fayetteville Rd as the address, but it's still dropped in the center of the city, like an upcoming site, and not dropped at it's actual physical location across the street from Southpoint Mall. Can someone confirm whether...

    Supercharger - Lumberton, NC - West 5th Street (16 Stalls, V3) open

    Stopped on the way down to Florence. Had to exchange a Buc-ee’s shirt I’d been given. I’d never noticed the pre-fab foundations have a part number.

    Supercharger - Lumberton, NC - West 5th Street (16 Stalls, V3) open

    From "Find Us" on the Tesla web site, yes that is the new location. My screen grab was from the Tesla app on my phone, to show that the app only shows the one Lumberton location that has been there years, with eight 150kW stalls. There should be a second "red pin" in Lumberton with a number up...
