    Supercharger - Enfield, CT

    YouTuber Branden Flasch, with his new Model Y with 4680 cells, just recorded a nice overview video at this first-Magic-Dock-in-Connecticut site, as he passed through on Oct 27 2023:

    Charge By Solar Not Showing

    I had my Gateway 2 software version 23.12.11 pushed mid-day yesterday, and it did take several hours before Charge on Solar showed for our 2020 Model 3 SR+, confirming what others have indicated here. One more car to go, our 2018 Model 3 having FDSBeta, so it's backlevel, but is finally...

    Honored to be one of those people telling the story of 777 Main too: https://TinkerTry.com/bruce-becker-interview with more about the tech running Hotel Marcel coming soon! By the way, Bruce drives a Model S Plaid around these days :)

    From I-91 or I-95 South, Hotel Marcel's V3 250 kW Supercharger is 1.4 miles off I-95 highway exit 46: https://goo.gl/maps/6f7kL6SQbYFPb8er5 From I-95 North, Hotel Marcel's V3 250 kW Supercharger is 0.9 miles off I-95 highway exit 46: https://goo.gl/maps/dYVLfgRdZ6PBVfpk8 If you're on I-95...

    Great info, thank you so much! I have heard from Bruce that those L2 chargers are EV Connect (software) compatible charging stations that are being brought online today. I'll have a closer look and test one out tonight. As for the food trucks, I found this, "Food Truck Paradise" at Long Wharf...

    Actually, I'll be in New Haven this evening. I will post whatever I find later tonight.

    It might be handy if there were signage at the Supercharger area, visible from all 12 stalls at night, indicating what amenities are available inside, including waste basket, bathrooms, and food options/hours, and whether there are surveillance cameras around. The idea would be to supplement...

    Supercharger - New Haven, CT

    Great info, I’ll verify the schedule with Bruce, and will add comments about the restaurant hours on the Google Maps entry. My understanding is that at least the self-serve snack/coffee bar is open 24x7, but I’ll verify that as well.

    Supercharger - New Haven, CT

    I have just been informed by Bruce Becker (Hotel Marcel developer) that Tesla now has all 12 stalls operational at this location. Also, to my amazement, Google Maps accepted my submission of this location (which I most definitely don’t own): Tesla Supercharger Tesla Supercharger · 500...

    Nevermind, just took this screenshot, Sunday Nov 27 5:25pm (as a passenger headed into Boston).

    Supercharger - New Haven, CT

    Can somebody help confirm it’s fully operational, such as a photo of all 12 stalls illuminated at night, and/or a photo or screenshot of a charging session? It seems to have vanished from the app/nav.

    The site now shows in the app, and apparently it’s still down.

    Supercharger - New Haven, CT

    More details/debrief about last night. I was driving with to NYC last night to pick up family, and decided to stop at Hotel Marcel on the way back. Not my smartest move, as we arrived with 10% at 11:19pm, with no Tesla logos illuminated on any of the stalls. Oops! I had a backup plan of...

    Supercharger - New Haven, CT

    Sadly, my test about 16 hours later, around 11pm, didn’t go so well, no stalls had lights.

    My post from Saturday Nov 19 has a typo: I wrote “I’ll be in the area Tue Nov 19th to confirm” but I meant “I’ll be in the area Tue Nov 29th to confirm.”

    Supercharger - New Haven, CT

    I’ve heard an unconfirmed report that this site may be operational before Thanksgiving, we’ll see, only time will tell. I’ll be in the area Tue Nov 19th to confirm. Hopefully somebody beats me to it and let’s us know good news here, something holiday travelers would surely appreciate especially...

    Hi @HankLloydRight! Matt lives near Boston, and is making a house more toward Western MA. I stopped by New Haven tnite, on way back from NYC:sadly no meters yet, and cut cables not repaired. Stopped by the hotel lobby too, Jordan was super friendly and welcoming, and happy to learn about the...

    In happier news, I convinced "Undecided with Matt Ferrell" that filming the very nearby extremely high tech Hotel Marcel would be worthwhile, and happily, he agreed! Once opened, this Supercharging location will be quite special, with the hotel lobby's bathrooms and self-service snacks and...

    Arrived at 19% today and got full speed Supercharging in my Model 3 Long Range today, so it’s safe to say this location is fully operational, or at least stall 1A is. Briefly hit 253kW (1031 mi/hr).

    Supercharger - Rocky Hill, CT

    it was dark here Sep 7, but today Sep 9, to my surprise, it’s alive! Arriving at 69% with no preconditioning in our SR+ (that can’t do 250kW) isn’t ideal, so will want to visit again with the Long Range soon.

    On Saturday Sep 4 2022, the Tesla Owners of Connecticut gathered from around the state at this new Supercharger location to have a little fun together, helping new owners get more comfortable with their purchase, and answer any questions. Great weather, great conversations!

    Another gorgeous day, but alas, no power.

    Supercharger - Rocky Hill, CT

    Great info, thank you for sharing! I was skeptical when he mentioned that there is no more delay, as I've heard of those delays at many locations. Anyhow, that aside, no power at all, with all the stalls powered off earlier this evening when I stopped by, as I pictured above. We'll see what...

    I stopped by at 8:40am today, and an (unnamed) Tesla employee was on site, along with another contractor (Asplundh?) that I had seen back on Wednesday when the transformer was installed. The Tesla employee mentioned that the plan was still to hopefully get this place online sometime today...

    Sorry for the slow response, busy doing wiring and internet at a family member’s new place in Rocky Hill. Ask, and you shall (eventually) receive ;) Meter is live!

    Was in a bit of a hurry driving my mom from the dentist, and to my surprise, it’s happening right now, the transformer is being installed, so this site has some chance of actually going live before this Labor Day weekend of heavy travel on I-91.
