That's not impossible but one thing - when I noticed I was no longer charging, I'd actually charged just over 80%. The charge limit line definitely had some green on the right side of it. It's possible the display just looks this way and I don't remember the actual number of miles I had...

Both times it was on my car, not my phone. I should have also made it clear, there was at least one open space the whole time I was there, even after the second time my limit was re-set to 80%. I kinda needed the extra range but I wasn't gonna keep anyone from charging, so I kept an eye open...

Just a heads up but there seems to be an odd wrinkle with idle fees going on. So I was charging two days back at a busy charger and when I arrived, it automatically put my limit at 80%. My need was great so I upped the limit a bit, sat back to let ‘er charge. After a while I noticed that the...

Way late to answer but I go by this charger nearly every day, often several times. I've never seen a line although I have seen it down to only one or two stalls empty. No bets on a year from now as there seem to be more and more teslas around here every day, and this one is very conveniently...

I'd be extremely surprised. I've a buddy who seems to have a source on this, and he said this is the Gainesville SC. They moved it because the guys at the place they were going to put it, Cabelas, backed out. The Haymarket SC is about as well-visited as any I've seen. I've been to a solid...

They seem to be still messing about with the concrete in the two far ones. They apparently messed it up once already but they’re working on it now. A truck with some sort of concrete construction logo pulled up before i left. No reason to suspect those pylons aren’t working too.

We’re up and running!

Still no power to the pylons and the ‘4’ on the meter hasn’t changed. On the plus side, the transformer is definitely humming.

I don't know about 'live' but Tesla was 100% there last week, early in the week so it wasn't quite finished yet but they surely knew they were close. I'll swing by in a bit and see if we're up and running. I'll at least get close enough to the transformer to check for hum.

Does this help? Still no power to the charging towers as of this morning.

And ... Yep, no power. But the transformer is here as is the power meter. Any guesses how long it’ll take them to check things / turn them on, Reddy?

Doesn't look like much got done today although there were definitely guys on site. Oddly, the two far slots which had be re-concreted are being re-concreted again. Looks like they tore up the new work and are setting up to pour again. Strange.

Happy to oblige. Today's news: looks like they've begun to wire into the pole. The wires currently lying along the ground look like they'll perfectly reach the connectors above. And I'll wait for expert opinion on this but that pad looks ready for a transformer.

They did and they are - all the covers had been removed and they were definitely doing something with them, wiring it looked like. There was also a Tesla Mobile Services car there (behind the truck), and, I believe, wire sticking out of the pipes near the pole. Nope, no sign that they were...

Lotta cable work today, and a concrete slab where the transformer is soon to go.

More trench work today, looks like they've reached the spot where the transformer will eventually go. And there're a couple trucks with big spools of cable. What'da ya think, Reddy?

Looks like they've been trenching, laying in a large PVC pipe from the new pole towards the place where the transformer will go.

They seem to have added a pole in the power line.

Dominion power is on site with a bunch of guys to install a transformer. Guy told me he wasn’t sure how long it’d take but things are moving along.

Fence is down, which I'd interpret to mean that major construction is largely finished. There still seems to be some left to do. There's a round hole on one of the panels with a note saying 'keep in place until meter is installed'. I'm guessing they still need to install a meter. The...

Naw, 9 times out of 10, I have all the time I need, no problem. Just every now and then I really would like to charge quickly and now I don't have to give it a second thought.

Sometimes. Got a long commute and last week i left afterwards for the outer banks. Had to wait at home for a bit to get lar Occasionally. I have a long commute and a few weeks back, I had to wait at home for a bit on friday for a drive to the outer banks. With a bit of extra charge I could...

I do but some days I do enough running around that I have to think about charging time and whatnot, especially as I like to make sure the car is ready to go if I need it. If I've a supercharger in my back yard, goodbye worrying about charging, like ever. I've also got free supercharging which...

Last night. There's still no transformer in place and there was some concrete work being done. Near as I could tell, the concrete on the two left-most charging spots was messed up somehow (possibly too thin) so they carved it out, pulled it up in a big blocks like tombstones, and looked like...

Ah, must have missed that in the dark. Have to keep an eye on that.

Went by an hour ago. It looks like all the construction is finished, and if they just move the fence and that big green container, it'd be good to go. No doubt there're inspections and whatnot to go, but I wouldn't be surprised if it opened up this week. Boaterva, the guy who told me about...

I'm guessing this won't be a problem. This location doesn't lend itself to long-term lingering, nor is it close enough (usually) to events that folks are likely to park here and walk away.

Chargers still open as of today.

Saw electrical guys working here today, asked if they knew when it’d be up and running. He said he’s not supposed to say but ‘probably very soon’.

Pretty sure it is. Apparently they were gonna put it at the Cabelas in Gainesville but they backed out. Probably just as well they moved it - the traffic around there is far worse, and it'd be further from the road.

Looks like they’ve still got a bit of wiring to do but the major construction is largely finished.

What are those white cabinets to the right? They’re definitely part of tge new construction.

Was there an hour ago - construction looks pretty complete. There's still a lot of stuff piled around but if they cleared that up, it looks like they'd be good to go. I'm sure they'll have to do testing and inspections and whatnot, but the infrastructure sure went up quick. And still the app...

Drove by this morning - the tesla charging pylons are already there, possibly in place (didn’t get that good a look). They’re clearly well under way. I’m guessing this thing will be open pretty soon.
