Jacksonville FL Store at St. Johns Town Center?

[fuelsman]

At the Sarasota store there are six HPWC chargers. Most likely the chargers are for demo cars along with two-three for public charging.

At the Sarasota store there are 4 HPWCs. Tesla usually parks two of their test drive cars there. In addition to the 4 HPWCs there are 12 other J1772 chargers at University Town Center.

However, we are both off-topic. :redface:

I know this is a bit late to help Spyder, but for others the Tesla Find Us web page does list the St. Johns Town Center Pop-Up Gallerie.

I haven't been able to locate their pop up store there, one car parked in an "alley" with an unmanned table and few chairs is a lame attempt at marketing.

When did you drop by? The fact it is a "Pop-up" Gallierie means that it has limited hours. For instance, from Monday to Thursday it is not open in the morning. Regardless, hopefully prospective buyers in the area will be able to call the number listed on the Tesla website and schedule an appointment and test drive. It's a step in the right direction while waiting for a Store to open in the Jacksonville area and it's certainly much more convenient than traveling to Orlando.

I was there monday just before noon, and a pop up store does little for the tesla owner.
I wonder when and where is the service center that has been on the coming soon map for two years?

A regular store does little for Tesla owners if you've already purchased a car. :wink:

As do we all.

Excellent! It's too bad they didn't put Superchargers instead, but at least the St. Augustine - Savannah gap has been eliminated by the Kingsland charger.

thanks for the info!

The Tesla Find Us webpage currently lists the location as a Gallery at 4813 River City Drive, Suite 125, but local news lists the address as 4663 River City Drive - near the new shops that opened up by the Nordstrom.

I suspect that Tesla hasn't gotten around to updating their webpage yet.

I visited the new "gallery" today, they have 6 HPWC chargers for use but not too much else to offer current owners.
If you are in the area they invited me to an owners party on 12/3 from 6-8 pm, I will not be able to attend but if you're in the area you're welcome to stop by.

Hey all, I just stopped by the gallery. I spoke to a rep named Ben (nice guy). He told me they're having a Tesla Owners Event there tomorrow night at 6 pm.

 

[Kutu]

I RSVP'ed. I hope to make it down there.

 

[kort677]

fwiw: they have 6 HPWC in the parking lot behind the store however they usually have 5 cars parked there, so I wouldn't depend on this as a place to charge, especially when the gallery isn't open.

I went to the VIP Grand Opening Reception on December 3, 2015. Good turnout, both owners and non-owners. They served beer and wine and soft drinks and some tasty horse ovaries. Very nice. Thanks Tesla.
I plugged into one of the HPWC behind the store as I wanted to see if I could charge at 80 amps. I have dual chargers but I never get to test the functionality of the second charger as I only have a 40 amp NEMA 14-50 at home. I only got 40 amps from their HPWC. I mentioned this to one of the employees, so he investigated further and determined that their HPWC are set to output 40 amps only. I assume that applies to all 6 of their HPWC.

Tesla's webpage for Jacksonville was updated to show a supercharger at this site today: Jacksonville-St. Johns Town Center | Tesla Motors
And, as of right now, it is showing as a supercharger on their Find Us map. May be an error. We'll see.

I can assure you that this location is not a supercharger, there are 6 hpwc units and usually there are 4 or 5 "in use" by the store so if you are planning on using these at off hours you might find all of the units in use.

As was mentioned this is definitely an error. I've notified Tesla and they have acknowledged the error and the Website Team will be making corrections.

It should be noted that none of the HPWCs at stores and service centers are considered by Tesla to be destination chargers and they therefore are not listed either on the Tesla information regarding stores or service centers nor are they shown as destination chargers either. Tesla does not register them on the various charger locating applications. However, since plugshare information is crowd sourced frequently they will be shown there, but occasionally the information is incorrect.

As kort677 notes the Jacksonville HPWCs, as well as others located at other stores and service centers, should not automatically be considered available if you are planning a trip and are in critical need of charging. It is always wise to contact the locations in advance if you have a critical need to charge at these locations.
