Has anyone else heard about a possible showroom at the Fashion Mall/Keystone at the Crossing?

Opened late Dec. 2013. Also 6 charger spaces in the parking garage near Saks.

Early this year is what a Tesla rep told me...

Any ideas where to charge between Indy and Chicago that is faster than a Nissan dealership that does 20 mi per hour?

Drive from Indy to South Bend/Mishawaka Supercharger, then go to Chicago. Charge overnight in Chicago parking garage.

Charger Between Indy and Chicago

Early this year is what a Tesla rep told me...

Any ideas where to charge between Indy and Chicago that is faster than a Nissan dealership that does 20 mi per hour?

I have used two. INSource in Merrillville (Just west of US 30 and I-65 interchange. They have 5 level-2 chargers. The chargers are located in their west parking lot in front of building.


The second is located at the Renesslaer Hospital. It is a 240 plug located at the rear of the hospital (It's a little known secret). It was installed for doctors. However, others can use it as long as doctors are not. Right now it is the fastest I have found (25-30 kws per hour) between Indy and Chicago. I am patiently waiting for the Lafayette Super Charger to fire up!

Thanks for the tips. Plugshare only identified the Nissan dealership in Merrillville. I will definitely check these out. Thanks!

Still waiting for the Lafayette supercharger. Any updates?

Does anyone know of a good charging location along Highway 41 between Chicago and Clinton, IN? I tried looking up RV parks. Have family that will need a full charge from O'Hare airport which only has 2 J1772 stations I believe so in case they were full and the Oakbrook Tesla store (also only 2 charge stations) they would have options. Thanks.

I'm sure you've looked on PlugShare already -- none right on US41 that show up on that site, but you could jog east to Lafayette to find several J1772 stations, or west to near Danville, IL for an EVSE there.

Closer to Chicago, looks like the small town of Dyer, IN has a 14-50 that could be put to use as well.

Any new developments for the Lafayette SC?

Nothing seen yesterday when I scouted it out again.

I've driven my tesla with the 60 kWh battery from Arlington Heights, IL down to Turkey Run State park 3 times now for a nice camping trip with the kids. Only had ~20 miles of charge remaining once I got there, but they have NEMA 14-50 outlets at the electric sites there.

I noticed Tesla's supercharger map now shows Indianapolis for 2014! Must get on the ball with only 4 months to get it done!

Yeah, well, the service center here has been "Coming Soon!" since this time last year.

Looks like they started construction! Here's a link to the thread with PICs posted: Anyone have info on Indy or Lafayette, IN SuperCharger? - Page 7

FYI, there will be a gathering of EVs in Clay Terrace Mall in Carmel, IN this coming Saturday, noon to 3pm, as part of National Drive Electric Week. At least a couple of Model S vehicles there. Feel free to come show off your ride, or take a look at the other EV options available in our non-CARB state... I'll have my Focus Electric there, but will still be drooling on the Teslas

Keystone store now has the Model S P85D available for test drives. It is fabulous. Schedule ahead. No new style seat though

Terra Haute Superchargers soon. That will make five in Indiana.

Anyone know what exit the Terre Haute Chargers will be off of?

I have heard that the P85D is being delayed by issues with the new seats.

Hello All,
I will be having my Model S delivered today in a few hours from Columbus, OH.
I just wanted to say hello and reach out to any other owners in the south side of Indy (Greenwood, Bargersville, Franklin).
I'm looking forward to getting delivery. A few more hours to go!

Welcome to TMC! I'm not an owner (for another few years anyways) but there are quite a few in Indy and the surrounding area.

Since it's been a few hours now, do you have it yet?

Hi folks,

I'm picking up my P85D in Chicago next week or the week after and wanted to introduce myself. I live in Mishawaka. I know there are at least one or two other Model S owners in the South Bend/Mishawaka area, and I hope to meet you at some point soon.

Regarding the seat delay-- I received an email about a possible delay a couple of weeks ago, but it turned out to be a false alarm. Mine has the next-gen seats and completed manufacturing earlier this week.
