I was there today for the parade. Nothing new other than landscaping.

Typically Tesla have something worked out with pay lots so that you don't have to pay if you're there for only an hour or two.

Thanks, Josh. Bummer - doesn't seem like it will be complete before Thanksgiving.

I will be in town tomorrow. I will go by and confirm by mid-afternoon!! Thanks for the heads up MS75!

I doubt I will need it very often, but it could mean that I could coast in from North AL or Memphis and get a quick few miles to get home. I am almost 20 miles away from this charger.

A confirmation would be great @JoshInBham. I'm planning on leaving Atlanta Friday morning to Dallas and a confirmation of this being open will make the trip a whole lot eaiser.

It's on Tesla's map, so should be good to go.

Yeah, but it is not showing on the car's nav yet. Just overly cautious I guess, but you are probably right.

Confirmed tonight that it is up and running.

So is it inside a parking lot or outside as Google Maps driving instructions suggests?

Stopped by this morning to check it out and I had been looking in the wrong spot per the address. It is in, up and running. It is in a pay parking lot but when I inserted my ticket on exit, there was no charge. Not sure whats up with that but the chargers are up and running.

That is fantastic/unexpected didn't think it would be online before Thanksgiving. Passing thru to Destin and back from Huntsville this weekend and trip planning just got easier!

Great! Thanks for stopping. I'll skip going by today.

Changed my mind as I was in Homewood anyway.

Up and going!

FYI, I didn't validate this time and it did charge me $1.50

Anyone know how long it takes for new SuC to show up on the Nav system?

On the map it already is showing up on mine. I don't know if it showing on the routing part as of yet though.
