New Stores in the North East

I've asked for clarification on who exactly is invited to Thursday's event (as part of my RSVP email) ...

 

[Robert.Boston]

No, but thank goodness you had me check my spam! I had missed the note from the Rev. Sister Maria Fernandez informing me that I was one of three lucky benefactors to win 1.5million euros. Now I just need to send them some information.... ;-)

 

[cinergi]

Close call!

 

[hcsharp]

Not that I know of or can find. Not sure which direction you're coming from ... there's a J1772 at the Whole Foods in Wellesley -- about the closest one I know of.

The Wellesley Whole Foods had a sign when I was there a month ago stating it was for Whole Foods customers only and a 2-hr limit.

I need a charger too if I don't stay overnight somewhere. In fact I would need at least 40A or I will not get much sleep that night... If anyone finds out anything about charging, please let us know ASAP.

 

[cinergi]

Given it's a Tesla store going in there, I wonder if they'll have a way to charge someone's car ... worth asking your Tesla contacts (I can ask, too, if you like).
Other than that, I see two Home plugs listed on plugshare. And someone could use my 208v/40a circuit in my complex's shared garage if we do something like have you meet me where I live and then we go together in my Roadster while yours charges. I can accomodate only one person though.
How long would you need at 8 kW Henry?

The private event is Thursday evening, according to the invite. Are there any charging stations in the mall? Getting there and back will be close in the ActiveE (90+ miles).

What are your charging options? J1772 I assume ... anything else?

I wonder if this is operational yet ... and public.. Electric Charging Station - About - Google+
I'll see if I can check into that tomorrow (hrm, that'd be later today, technically)

Framingham Nissan maybe? (call ahead to see if they'd do that for you, especially after hours)

And, less convenient, there's a chargepoint in newton centre apparently, as well as something at the indigo hotel in newton

... 99 Restaurant in Marlborough right off 495 has something apparently ...
not sure what routes you peeps are taking ...

Heading in Thursday to Natick if work allows. Others?

 

[Robert.Boston]

I'm planning on going, though probably not right at the start of the event.

 

[woof]

I'm going. If I can't charge while at the event, I'll just hyper-mile back. While it would be nice to pick up some insurance Wh's while there, its not a necessity. There's plenty of public charging on my way back to North Andover if I run short.

I got a reply ... "Local reservation holders and owners" are invited. I let her know you don't have an invite, but obviously you qualify :smile:

 

[RDoc]

My wife and I will be there Thursday.

The charge station at city hall in newton centre (http://carstations.com/18562) is free... if you use it, call them, and they'll likely take a picture and put it in the paper (it doesn't get used much)

Thanks for offering this! About 4+ hrs, but maybe less because I might stay overnight! I'm juggling some other plans... I need to be in Wellesley Friday afternoon, and home Fri morning but trying to change that. I wonder if they have anything setup at the new service center yet. Give me a day or so to get my plans finalized.

Where did you find out about the charging at the Indigo in Newton?

 

[cinergi]

It was either plugshare or recargo (the two apps I generally use).
BTW I'm the kind of person to go early and stay late. I hang out with Tesla employees until they're all ready for bed :smile:

I just got a response from somebody at Tesla:

The Roadster charging is planned to be installed tomorrow. I will let you know if anything changes.

But no word on where it is being installed. Presumably somewhere in the giant parking lot that surrounds that mall. I'm coming but might be late if traffic is bad. Crossing my fingers the Roadster charging get's installed as planned and I can use it.

 

[cinergi]

I will probably be late. I'm moving mountains trying to get the logistics squared away for trading the Roadster in and having a car between then and the Model S ... :cursing:

 

[cinergi]

Soon!

 

[Batmobile]

Nice pic!

 

[aronth5]

Looking forward to going on Saturday. At last a chance to see the car in person!
I've told so many people about the Model S and they always assume I've been in one.

 

[EdA]

Robert, Mitch, Jim, and of course Ben, is was great meeting/seeing you all!

I spent about 45 minutes talking to George Blankenship!

Classic night...

 

[cinergi]

Couple more

Will post video of charge port opening with connector and whatnot in the appropriate thread.

Video went here: Charging procedure - Page 3

Great to meet everyone!

I managed to pair my iPhone 5 to the car and play a bit of music from my spotify collection. Worked pretty well.
