I did not know how to copy it over from Syracuse site. If you visit their site you can see more than 10 photos of site in Dropbox.

To RiverBrick and others crossing from Windsor to Detroit or v.v.: do not take the tunnel. My experience in this goes back almost 50 years. Take the bridge. Better yet is crossing from Sarnia to Port Huron, but by the time you're in Comber, that's not an appealing option if you're on your way to Ohio.
Time of day etc. are a guessing game. At times when you think there's light traffic, so may the border forces, who may reduce the number of lanes open. Just go when you feel like it.
Does anyone have any advice on which border crossing is the fastest? Any particular time of day to seek or avoid? After Comber I will driving to the Supercharger in Maumee, Ohio.
Speaking of Syracuse, a piece of advice:
"The spots are primed for ICE'ing' you say. Well you could not have nailed it more on the head. Although I have a P85D coming in the next "Musk Month", I am a hardcore Iceman. The spot they have put the superchargers is the main hotel for the Syracuse Nationals (Previously known as the US Street Rod Nationals). 7000 screaming beltching ice machines of all shapes and sizes. I took my 1968 firebird LS3 570horse their last year for show and stayed at this hotel. The hotel alone attracted 2000 ICE' ers a night. So, great spot -but- avoid it July 17, 18, 19 2015.
I will be close behind you. I am driving through Chicago to Wisconsin on the 23rd. C'mon Comber! Daddy needs a new pair of shoes!!!
I postponed my trip, so will not be passing by Comber until March 5th or 6th. I hope the site is ready for you, if not on the 23rd, at least for your return trip.
To be honest, Comber isn't so important for me, because it's 1100 km from home, when I'm ready for a hotel with destination charging anyway. (Windsor or Chatham-Kent are so equipped).
Any other updates (from anyone) on Comber? Is Woodstock to Maumee doable in this weather without making another stop enroute?
At 345km, I imagine it'd be very difficult in *this* weather, unless you're willing to run without heat for part of the stretch.
Ottawa does have two public HPWCs, at the Brookstreet Hotel in Kanata. They were just hooked up this week and they are on the Tesla map. Parking is free for the first 3 hours, and it may be free for EVs all the time - I haven't confirmed that part. This picture was taken before they were connected, but going by the cable size, it looks like they run at 80A.
And there's a 2-port Chargepoint station there too, which is 50 cents per hour for the first 3 hours, then $2/hour.
An update on this: Unfortunately, the two HPWCs at the Brookstreet hotel only run at 40A. And the spaces for them are not marked at all, so are prone to being ICEd. The two Chargepoint spaces next to them have orange signs overhead but they don't say "No Parking unless charging" and they could easily be missed. When I was there, there was a Porsche SUV in one of the Tesla spaces and the other 3 spaces were free.
The 4 charging spaces are right in front of you as soon as you take your ticket and go past the barrier. There is no attendant at the exit, so the only way parking would be free for EVs would be if you could get someone at reception to validate your ticket (I didn't try).
but two hours was discouraging.
Wow, expectations have really changed. When I got my Roadster there was only 1 J1772 in Ontario. I had to charge 4-5 hours at a campground to make it to Toronto.
You'll definitely enjoy the Supercharger! May the novelty never wear off.
I used the Comfort Inn, Burlington, Ont charger on Wednesday (-22c). It charged at 40amp. It is listed on the Tesla site as 80 amp. I was in for servicing today and they told me that if it is really cold, it is possible that half of the charge will be dedicated to keeping the battery warm?
