I will have you know, Lanny, thanks to seeing your efforts for getting this law passed in Howard County, I decided to email my local county district supervisor and see about initiating this in my area.

Just got notice of this this morning... This one came out of nowhere!

Wonder when we will see Savage Mill - any news on that one?
And has anyone heard what is happening with the "temp" one in Bethesda? I hope it stays around...

The dot in the "Coming Soon" Supercharger map between DC and Baltimore that chickensevil had captured is now gone and shows in 2015 instead. This confirms what I've heard that the Superchargers are not going to be at Savage Mill. It was nixed a few weeks ago according to the person I spoke with. Sorry to bring the bad news. :-(

Grrrrr.
I travel between Baltimore and NoVA regularly. I can normally make it there and back and around town on a single charge, but a SC off 95 would be very nice.
Agree with Linkster, hoping I can take off 3 weeks for next TMC Connect and have an I-70 option as well as a southern option 
I have to say though that I have been watching the SC tallies, and did not realize we passed 300 WW!!
How cool is that??

Given how much love they give to CA I am not so happy about it. We are one of the larger markets for them so you would think they would be showing us the love. NY and FL seem to get more love than we do and I find it hard to believe that we are behind those two markets. Everything I have heard places Rockville squarely as the number one site on the east coast for deliveries. *shrugs* hopefully we will see it soon rather than later.
Actually, I think I gave your wife dibs on shotgun...Can I
Unfortunately, no news isn't good news. Last time I asked (month ago) I heard that the options they were working on fell through "painfully" and they were back to square one.
but thanks for bumping - maybe someone else has better, later info?

Thanks for the update Lanny.
I'd prefer this SuperCharger to be a little closer to the Baltimore area especially with the Woodbridge and Bethesda locations in operation.
Perhaps in the area of the intersections of 95 / 695 / 295. This would provide access to Salisbury more easily with the ability to proceed to 97. Right now I think I'll have to take a detour to Delaware to make it to the Reach the Beach event from my house in Manchester, MD. My 60 should make it but I hate to chance it.
I have suggested to the team Laurel Park racetrack as an alternative in the area. I may be able to assist to get that site up and running quickly if Tesla chooses. There's plenty of space and the site is easily accessed from 95 and 295 almost dead center between Baltimore and DC.

<complaint>I cannot understand why Laurel, MD or a nearby location doesn't have a higher priority for a supercharger site. We were just down in DC and, considering that this is a wealthy and powerful area, the Supercharging options are really pretty awful IMHO. The Bethesda one is really not impressive at all and there really aren't any nearby alternatives. At a minimum the new Tyson's Corner service center should have one.</complaint> :cursing:
The new Tyson's Corner center does have at least one--I saw it. But it's inside the building, and I don't know whether it's available for use to the public or if it's just for the cars they're servicing/delivering.
