MONTGB: I hope you had a better experience at the Lorton Service King (SKL) than I did. In December 2017 I was rear ended while stopped in traffic - the accident crumpled my power liftgate, but destroyed the front end of the pickup truck that hit me. The liftgate would still operate and I...

Wamochi: Thanks for pointing this out - I was curious, so checked my phone app and the display on my vehicle's instrument cluster. On both renderings, my tan interior was rendered as a slightly lighter shade of grey than the other blacks in the image. So - no tan - no love. It would...

TEV: FWIW, I've had my vehicle in the Tysons Corner Virginia Service Center (SC) at least six times in the three years I've owned it and never had my remote access disabled. In fact, I've always used the Location feature on the iPhone app to monitor the vehicle as it was moved around the SC...

I know this is a crazy old post, but FWIW, the neighborhood just off Columbia Pike in South Arlington "Alcova Heights", now has nine EVs in it - BEVs and PHEVs. This includes two Model Ss, two Chevy Bolts, two CMAX Energis, a Chrysler Pacifica, a Ford Fusion and a Chevy Spark. Additionally...

This is a Sad Story. I've seen four Model 3s in a local graveyard - a certified Tesla Body Shop near me. On my first visit, I saw a blue Model 3 which had suffered a few dings and scratches on the paintjob when it was unloaded from the car-carrier truck at the Tysons Service Center. That was...

Good to see there are others like me around - eager for even anecdotal evidence of Model 3 deliveries in VA. I have seen two Model 3s in the Arlington, Virginia area over the past month. The first was white, zooming along Wilson Boulevard in early-December. The other is the red one in the...

The National Harbor Supercharger (in Oxen Hill Maryland and within the Washington, DC metro area) is in a very large, very upscale mixed use (commercial, retail, residential) development. Just off the top of my head, I'd guess there are circa 1000 residential units within 500 yards of the SC -...

FWIW, I was at the National Harbor Supercharger opening on 03October2017 and learned from one of that development's executives that two of the Peterson Company's other nearby properties will soon be hosting Superchargers as well - the Rio Washington Center (209 Boardwalk Place in Gaithersburg...

LOCATION: The Fairfax Supercharger (which currently appears as a dropped pin in Fairfax City's Old Town on the Tesla.com/supercharger map) will be in the Fairfax Corner Shopping Center, located at 11945 Grand Commons Avenue (also known as 4100 Monument Corner Dr), Fairfax, VA 22030. The...

Yes - Count me in. I'm always looking to hang with other Tesla Dads and Moms. Bring it on!

Wytheville OPEN! Just to confirm, I charged this morning at he new Wytheville SC. It's all good! Vroooooom...

Wytheville, VA Super harger is OPEN Hooo-RAAAH! One more SC in the constellation is open. The location shows as active on Model S' nav system and Tesla Roadside Assistance telephone helpline confirmed at 5:00 pm on 30 Dec 2015 that the site is registering 100% and we t live at 10:00 am on the...

Maxim Article Mentions Strasburg SuperCharger Check out the Maxim article at We Took an Electrifying Ride In Tesla's Model S P90D | Maxim which mentions the author's stop at the Strasburg SC. I was there on 08Oct when Dan pulled up and began charging. He's VERY well informed about the Model...

After seeing the news of the opening of the Flight 93 National Memorial during the 9-11 news coverage last week, I noticed in my trip planning that the memorial's location in Shanksville, PA is only 20 miles or so from the Somerset, PA SuperCharger. This makes contemplation of a trip out to the...

Yeah - Kind of a bummer that there's no Ribbon Cutting ceremony to officially open it as has been the case with many previous ones (pre-Norfolk?). This sad development makes discussion of either a winery visit or a wine tasting/skyline drive leaf viewing all the more important. I agree that a...

Yo CMU5P! Tesla Day at a VA Winery - now THAT would be sweet! Great idea - especially if we can get a dozen like minded Model S owners/wine-o's to join in - and of course get some VIP parking to showcase the future of transportation in the US and A. I'm IN! And, I promise to fill the...

Has anyone seen a hint of an opening ceremony? Great that it's up and running, but I was sort of hoping to have an excuse to zoom out from Arlington to Strasburg for a ribbon cutting. Nothing in my email, though... :confused:

Yup - As George Thorogood would say, a case of the "Madison Blues". Sounds like Madison county, anyway and yes - believe ticketing out-of-towners on Route 29 is the county's primary source of revenue.

Good News and an update on my SHUDDERING problem. Went in for service on 28August2015 (installation of Center Console) and mentioned the 4MPH shuddering issue. As has been mentioned in the blogs, I was told it was a known issue, but that my experience would be reported to Tesla/Engineering so...

Hey Xenoilphobe: Many thanks for the update and photos. Hope to see you at the ribbon cutting. Robin

ReGen braking issue at 4 MPH I have precisely the same shuddering on my 70D - delivered on 12Jun2015. I didn't notice it the first month of driving and did not note whether it appeared coincident with a software upgrade (I'm not that bright...). At first I thought it was only occasional, but...

Wyoming and Virginia Special EV Tax - ARRGHGHG! FWIW, it's a $60 annual tax in Virginia - and about $1900 in "personal property tax" in VA's Arlington County - just for the privilege of driving a Model S.

One Final Photo taken 20August2015.

Good News - I visited the Strasburg SuperCharger (SC) location today (20August2015). It appears that construction is complete - although the six stalls are wrapped in yellow caution tape. There was no noise/ventilation coming from the electrical substation, but the facility's construction is...
