Personally, I think Love's Travel Stop might be a good candidate. Great location, and tons of space/power.
I just heard from a member of the SC team that they've selected a site near the I-81 & I-88 interchange in Binghamton and are in the final design stage, and hope to "open the site within the next few months". Maybe this is The Spot, or perhaps closer to SUNY Broome, but either way it'll be great when it's open!
Guys, I just got this email from Tesla this morning!!!
"We are excited to share that we have chosen a location in Binghamton and we are approaching the construction phase of our deployment process. There are a number of scenarios that can affect the timeline for a new site but we are working hard to open as many sites as quickly as we can."
I can rest now -- they appear committed to Binghamton.
Let the games begin as to guessing which location they have chosen....
If the site is indeed near the I-81/I-88 interchange, there would be two possible areas on Front Street: near SUNY Broome in the Town of Dickinson or in Hinman's Corners in the Town of Chenango. I noticed there is a Moe's Southwest Grill - I believe they have hosted superchargers before. I searched the town board minutes for Dickinson and Chenango with no luck.
Tesla's coming soon map has been updated with a dot on Binghampton.
Hi all - sorry for the silence, it's been a busy fall. I heard back from the Tesla rep on September 9th that "Hi Gordon, Yes, we have continued to make progress in Binghamton and are close to entering construction on our site there. Construction and energization usually takes between 4-6 weeks, so we are getting close now! Thanks for your continued support!"
I just drove by the area yesterday and still no obvious signs. My best guess is that it's actually in the SUNY Broome lot (plenty of space there), or it could be in the same parking area as a Cracker Barrel restaurant (which, as of a few months ago, had advertised that area as 'Available for Kiosks'). But it could be The Spot, or there are several other shopping strip malls on Front Street.
I was going to give them to the end of September to ping him again and ask for a better definition of "soon"!
Remeber, "soon" has its own meaning in Elon-speak!
I'm just hoping they break ground by end of October. Just went up to Syracuse for Parent's weekend, didnt have time to go through Albany, so took my wife's Volvo.
Could we get the name of this thread changed to Supercharger Binghamton, NY ?
THE SPOT is it! Drove by on Sunday and here's some pics - i haven't had this confirmed yet from my contact at Tesla, but here's some pics of the work being done in the The Spot's parking lot - looks like an 8-space dig. Assuming 4-6 weeks until powerup, we can all look forward to refilling in the strategically-critical Binghamton NY area around Thanksgiving!
