Has anyone used an offsite parking lot that charges Teslas for Newark International Airport? It's about 80 miles for me each way. I have done it before and just parked in long term Parking, but never left my X there for a week in potential cold weather. Springfield no longer does the Newark...

A Google search yielded this nugget from the New Rochelle City Council meeting of February 14, 2017 (item 29, PDF page 4): Here is the location on Hueguenot Street between Harrison Street and Lecount Place..

Anyone know of a public charger with power today in the Rochester area? (80mph winds yesterday have left most of the area without power)

Cherry Hill just approved plans to open a service center by the end of the year! This is great news for anyone in Philly or South Jersey.

Any forum members have any leads on 240V charging options on Charleston, preferably within walking distance of downtown? I'm hoping to take our X next week, but can't make the roundtrip without picking up about 120 miles or more of charge while there (24 hours parked). PlugShare doesn't show a...

Hello! I'm a HUGE Tesla fan...I have done test drives in Charlottesville VA (Boars Head Inn) and at the Raleigh, NC store. Just have to get my current vehicle (A Passat TDI...still holding onto it for now) out of my hands first. :) I'm getting married on April 1 (and its no foolin'!), and had...

Building permit applied for 2/09/2017. The county's permitting system doesn't support deep-linking, a screenshot is attached. Looks like it'll be in the corner of the Hyatt Place's parking lot adjacent to Stonefield Commons at 2100 Bond St. The permit says four supercharger cabinets and four...

Selected Va. commuters could make money in car study

I am planning a trip to NYC and Philadelphia for next week. Dinner with friends in NYC on Tuesday night, and then dinner in the Philadelphia area with my son and his fiance the next night. I could fly or take the train, but the fares would run $200 or more, and so I am thinking of driving...

So, I booked my 3rd annual service at Rockville Service Center for this Friday, Feb 24th. Today I received a call to confirm, and they said that they were going to offer me a "faster service option" - I would drop my car off at the RSC and they would take it to Baltimore to service it and then...

Hello everyone, I have been working with a business owner in Altavista, VA (about halfway between Lynchburg and Danville on Route 29) to establish a destination charging spot in the area and he is about to have 3 Tesla chargers and a universal charger installed at his business. The business is...

Please join us for one or more events this Winter/Spring. A few will celebrate new destination charging locations. Genovation Meetup - 3/4/17 Genovation produces the World’s first street legal electric car to exceed 200 mph, displayed at last year's Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance on August...

This one got missed, and I was there a week ago scouting for Level2 charging before the del Lago Casino opened. It looks to be almost ready, Credit goes out to "Bob" and his volt on plugshare for discovering this! There are also 4 free chargepoint stations in the parking garage. I drove all...

See the end of this thread for my post. To repeat: Owings Mills opened today (2-1-17) and it's ready for business. I was there at about 5pm to meet Russell Moore, the manager. He's a great guy. He came from a Lexus dealership near DC. I also met four other guys on the staff. Russell told me...

Looks like I posted this in the wrong forum earlier and I am sorry for cross posting across forums. I hate it when others do it - so, I can imagine. I am leaning towards Criswell based on my experience. Any strong objections? ******************************** Hello, I posted on the forum...

Today I picked up my daughter from Roosevelt Field Mall back to Huntington. We hit a bit of heavy traffic on Northern State Parkway. I was on the left lane and the traffic was almost standing still at time. I engaged the auto-steer and it immediately hugged to the right. So I steered it back...

Hi there, Has anyone used a mobile wheel repair service in the NoVA or D.C. area for fixing curb rash on wheels? I don't need them to be perfect but improved significantly. Can't really take the downtime by leaving the wheel with a store. Thanks!

Received this email invitation this morning. They are relocating from Commerce Street to Rt 22 location (formally AAA Service Center.) This location is much larger and on a heavily traveled highway. Current location is small. You and a guest are invited to celebrate the grand opening of...

I just had my Roadster's original rotors and pads replaced with the custom two-piece coated slotted rotors made by Cedar Ridge Fabrication - (beautiful work, BTW). I used Joseph Gregory of The Brake Squad (Fairfax, VA). Just wanted to post that he was super professional: exactly on time, very...

Hi, This is primarily for the NoVa owners but anyone feel free to chime in. I am debating whether to get a D or RWD Model. To get things out of the way I am not independently wealthy; cost DOES matter to me. I bought this car primarily for no gas and reduced maintenance. I am giving up...

Okay I am completely frustrated with Rockville, MD. Their heads are so far up their donkeys they can't even figure out how to set up an appointment, and they keep giving me lip service and won't give me an appointment to look at my car. At this point I have very low confidence in the actual...

House Bill HB 36 [PDF link], has been filed by Maryland Delegate Clarence Lam for the 2017 session in Annapolis. This proposed anti-ICEing legislation is very similar to last year's HB 839 that I testified in support of (with amendments) in the House Environment and Transportation Committee...

Just picked up my Modex X and wanted to know how many people in MD actually put on the front plate? They said most do not, but I wanted to know people's opinion about leaving it off. As I understand it, it's a secondary offence.

Hi Folks: In the second week of January, we shall be going from Charlotte NC (Supercharger) to Asheville, NC. I have two possible routes which I have calculated via EVTripping and EV Trip Planner. One route is via 74 to 26 which in my S estimates out to 132 rated miles the other route is 85...

Does anyone know what criteria must be met before Tesla considers a site (that has been submitted via their website (Destination Charging) for a destination charger location OR how long we should expect to wait before hearing about a site submission request? I have a friend who owns a business...

Green dots indicate what I think are the new locations in Southern PA, MD and VA and W.Va.

My thread title is not a mistake - it's what shows on my caller ID when they call, and boy, is that the truth! Dorn's Body and Paint in Mechanicsville, VA is approved by Tesla, and is a "select service provider" with my insurer. That is a mystification to me. I will just post a cut and paste...

@jbumps posted that a contract has been signed: West Virginia ? @emupilot suggested that perhaps Tesla had done a deal with Sheetz at 21 Asturias Lane West Virginia ? @jbumps replied that Sheetz doesn't own the property but was very accommodating to their new neighbours. So Supercharge.info...

Just saw a TV news story that Tesla is putting in a Supercharger at the Shoppes at Montage in Moosic, PA. Power To Save: Car Charging Station Comes to Lackawanna County This is very close to Rt476 (The Northeast Extension of the PA Turnpike) and Rt81.

I registered my car with BGE for their home charging program. They sent me an introductory letter which in summary says I can choose to enroll in their home EV charging rates. The gist of it is that I can get charged lower rates than standard for off peak electricity usage (to encourage charging...

Defeating a pathetic attempt by VADA the VA Commissioner concludes: primarily based on: . . . below is the crux of the winning argument: independent dealers suck -- customers hate them -- and Tesla does it better and customers love them.

Dear mid-Atlantic forum, I'm gonna stumble into a new S in the first half of December, taking delivery in Rockville. Can someone please recommend a top-notch paint protection film (e.g., Xpel) applier near the Rockville SC? I want to get a full-body wrap within milliseconds of taking delivery...

I'll be driving up to NYC next week for a few days. It's the first long trip I'm taking in my MS and the first time it'll be parked overnight somewhere that's not my garage. I've been pretty paranoid about parking in public places and so far managed to avoid any damage. Are there garages or...

Next week I was planning to drive up the mountains for the week in Boone, NC. I'd prefer to bring my Model S (not 4 wheel drive) but it was recommended that in the winter season that we bring a vehicle that is. Anyone familiar with that area this time of year believe a Model S would be OK or...

This may have been posted before but I went to Annapolis Mall today and on the lower level of the Nordstrom parking garage there are (2) Tesla HPWC and (2) level 2 chargers. Of course they were all ICE'd and there were no signs I could see for EV parking. Seems kind of pointless to me to place...

Tesla needs our support here in Virginia. They are trying to open a store in Richmond and are facing political headwinds, especially from the Virginia Automobile Dealers Association (VADA), who don't like that Tesla sells directly to customers rather than through a middle-man. In order to...

Hope to see some Tesla owners at this event. I will be attending. RSVP to [email protected] or [email protected]. Axis is a luxury black car chauffeur service and exotic car rental company based out of National Harbor. The event will be similar to cars and coffee, showcasing exotic...

A neighbor of mine who attends Virginia Tech just stopped by my home to tell me about a study being conducted by Virginia Tech. The Virginia Tech Transportation Institute (VTTI) is looking for specific vehicle owners to participate in a year long study that is meant to contribute to...

I would like to thank the MGM guys for thinking about the future with their beautiful casino / resort. Tanger next door also has 8. As of now they are all Free. One thing I have noticed is that most of the time when I hook up to a chargepoint charger I get reduced charging. 22amps instead of 30

Anyone been to Wisp resort (Wisp Resort - Maryland's own 4-season Ski and Golf Destination | wispresort.com) in McHenry, MD? Have you been able to charge? I called, and they told me over they have several outlets scattered in the parking lot, but it's first come first serve and they can't...

Got the invite. It's for tomorrow at the Boathouse. Unfortunately I cannot attend. Anyone going? I'd love to get the download and support, especially if they're starting any kind of letter-writing campaigns targeting specific lawmakers in our General Assembly.

66 Alliance, VDOT, HOV, Clean Fuel, I-66 The 66 Alliance is a group of people who came together in 2015 and 2016 to oppose parts of VDOT’s plans to convert Interstate 66 into High Occupancy Toll (HOT) lanes from Haymarket to the Roosevelt Bridge. Since our inception, the 66 Alliance’s 4 goals...

I haven't seen a thread for a Super Charger in South Jersey. I would love to see one in Cherry Hill or somewhere near there. Anyone have any ideas on this? Traveling from the Poconos I can make it to and back to Burlington County, but further is risky. Philadelphia and South Jersey need some...

I've had my CPO Model S for about a month now, and was starting to feel a little bummed out with the inevitable dirt & bird poop accumulating on it. So today I took it through an automated, touchless car wash. The Pano Roof leaked considerably -- maybe 1/2 oz of water fell on me in the driver's...

Will be installing charging station in an existing home in Howard county, MD. Is there a role for separate metering? Any recommendations for local installers? I know this has been discussed before but I can't seem to find the thread using the search function. My apologies for bringing it up again.

Hi, I'm a recent immigrant to the DC area, residing in Chevy Chase. I had wonderful, loving times with the Service Center crews in Massachusetts (first Watertown, then both Watertown and Dedham). They sprinkled fairy dust on my car and served me unicorn tears to slake my thirst. It's time...

Just confirmed with them via Facebook messaging that they will have 14 charging stations. One of them will be for Teslas, which I thought was a little odd. I've seen small hotels with at least two.
