Just drove by there not more than 15 minutes ago and there was a Model S and a Model 3 both charging with no issues.

I too have a few tickets in the pot and will be anxiously waiting for a call tomorrow night!! My wife, daughter and I will be out for the night, but I would LIKE to hear the phone ring. Trey

This was in front of the Greenville, SC Hyatt for a wedding. Car had New Jersey plate. It was back on 11/28, I just forgot to post. Trey

Pictures as everyone is asking!! I stopped by this evening and the lights are on and I believe Vinayak got an e-mail from Tesla stating that the SC is ready for use. Trey

As of 6pm tonight, still no power. :frown: Trey

The transformer is live and the meter is active, but there is no power being drawn from the meter, so I would assume that there is a switch in the SC fenced area that has not been turned on yet. As Cottonwood had said, and I read elsewhere, Tesla will likely send out a crew with a Model S to...

As Thomas has already said, they have begun connecting the power. I went by after work today and they have run the line up the pole and connected to the disconnects, but no connection to the main line yet. Looks like they could get it done by tomorrow easy. I will have more free time tomorrow so...

I was thinking that. I have to work that weekend, so I will have to miss. Trey

Ran by tonight on the way home just to check again and the power line is still coiled up at the base of the pole. Looked like the light poles had been delivered and left in the area for someone to install. Not looking good for it to be up by the weekend. vkrishan, what are the plans for the...

Will do! I have been "Pending" for 'Carolina's Tesla Owners and Fans Group' for some time now. I just checked and it still shows me being pending. I will be checking it every day between now and Saturday. I stopped back by later today and the utility guys said all that was left was to run the...

Yes, I applaud these guys working in these conditions! The weather is downright dreary today. I had not heard of a meeting until you said something. Let me know details and I will try to make it. Let me know if the lunch is a go, would enjoy meeting some of you. You must be thinking of Dark...

Sitting in front of the SC now and there are two utility trucks here and they are digging to run power to transformer. Pouring down rain and cold! Trey

Thanks! I just want to help the people interested in this SC up to date as I know a few would really benefit from it. Thank you! By all means go ahead! Use it however you need. Trey

New Update There has been more progress. The transformer has been delivered and placed on it's pad. Looks like all that is left is for the connection to the transmission lines and the installation of the new light poles. The site is now cleared of most construction related equipment and the...

I stopped by on Friday and saw one of the construction workers talking with someone so I walked over. I heard them talking that they were pretty much done and that electrical inspection would be Monday (today) or Tuesday. He said that Duke Energy had already been out and told them they hope to...

The only thing that I saw being worked on was the fence around the charger. It appears that the pad is poured for the power company to install their equipment, but I did not see anything on site yet. I also am by there almost every day, so we will have plenty of coverage of this construction. Trey

There is also a CHADeMO charger in the Clemson University ICAR center off of I85 @ Laurens Rd. I have used it a couple of times with no issues other than a Nissan Leaf that has been parked there for a few weeks. You can pull up beside the Leaf and still make the cable reach. Depending on your...

Actually it's 6 with time limit and two without. Not a bad idea, but I will say even before construction, there was not many cars parked in this area. I don't think you will see too much issue. They are located just off from the main hotel parking area, but not inconvenient. Trey - - -...

Progress Another update from the past couple of days with a good bit of progress.

No problem guys! Anything I can do to try to help out my out of town friends. I know there are a lot of people that want/need this SC up and running and I will try to let you all know as soon as we can. Trey

By their current rate of progress, it looks like they may be waiting on electrical utilities to do their part and I think you have a good chance of it being open by then. Trey

Gotcha! Went by Friday afternoon to see what had been done. Really didn't expect much with all the rain we have had in the area, but was impressed by what I saw. They have the 8 bollard's up and looks like they are moving along quite well. In the last photo, you will see this ship to address has...

I use http://www.smartthings.com for home automation and have a Kwikset Z-wave deadbolt linked to the system that unlocks when I come within a set distance from the house (500 feet right now). It does not unlock unless you leave and come back, so no worry that it self unlocks in the middle of...

Yes, what constitutes a regular customer? I have done a test drive and even bought a shirt for my daughter, but I don't want to stop in every week just to say hi and bother them. I would really like to drive the car for a weekend to settle any fears my wife has about owning one. Sadly the...

Just drove by the proposed SC location and there is construction equipment on-site. I took some pictures and will post those when I get home later tonight. Trey

As this is just around the corner from my wife's business, it will be no issue for me to check up on it occasionally. Have a safe trip! If you do come by the proposed charger location, you would be just around the corner from my wife's business (bakery). If it is during business hours, I would...

Drove by today and there has been no activity. No equipment, no marking, nothing. I drive by the area almost every day. I will also keep an eye out on any work happening. Trey

It is the property behind Whole Foods, REI and Yogurt Mountain. It is an old mill that was being renovated, but ran into numerous issues with contamination from the mill being there and dumping on property. Trey

I have not stayed here, but have heard good things about them. It's in Anderson, so they would be closer to the stadium. GO TIGERS! Have them check out: The Bleckley Inn 151 E Church St Anderson, SC 29624 Driving Directions...

I am not saying this is not where it is going to be. But Carolina Point Parkway is the location where the original SC was being built and then taken back down. Maybe they got a place to put it in the same parking lot, but different area that did not offend the owner of the land behind them. Trey...

Cottonwood, you should come out and take a look around Greenville! I can't tell you how much I love my hometown and what it has become. We have been ranked very highly lately for being a great place to visit and live! Trey

Saw this car on Monday on Woodruff Rd. Just had time to grab a pic before I passed. Trey

The P85D (without Ludicrous) does not have the upgraded fuse and contactor material. The car is not going to be able to pull the higher amperage that the P90D (with Ludicrous) is going to be doing, therefore it is not needed to raise the capability of the battery. I fly multirotor copters...

Saw this 70D tonight in the Greenville Commons parking garage next to the Hyatt in downtown Greenville.

Don't give up so easy, LOL. You have found where we can find more info. Looks like the previous contractor was Cutting Edge of HHI Inc. I found a phone number for them, I may give them a call this coming week and see if they will let me be a little nosey. Trey

Yes, this is almost like geocaching. Find a clue and start searching. @Zarwin, where did you find the permits anyway? I've looked at the Greenville county site and can't find where to search. Trey

Possible. There is word that Cheesecake Factory will be opening at the mall. I've heard it before, so I'm taking the info with a grain of salt. Trey

Sorry guys. I just drove by there. It is construction for a new apartment complex. C.F.Evans is the construction contractor for this job. It has to pop up somewhere soon. Trey

Here is what it looked like this afternoon. You can not tell there was anything ever there.

I will go with 8/25/2015 please. Trey

Seen Friday morning. Not a great picture as it was 6am and we were going 70 down the hwy. Georgia plates and seen on I-85 North in Greenville between I-385 and Pelham Rd. Trey

If only you knew the half of it. The owner of the land that is behind Whole Foods is, without use of better words, stupid! The place was an old textile facility that closed up, the plan was to renovate the building into a retail/mixed use facility, but they found all kinds of foul chemicals that...

Actually, probably popular. I have a few associates that want to go for a drive when I get it. We have an older P85 that is owned by the plant, for testing purposes. :wink:

Sorry Bruce, but not only in California. I work at the BMW plant here in South Carolina and we use a water based paint system for our vehicles. Green Manufacturing | BMW US Factory
