The unofficial Grand Opening of the Rolla Supercharger was yesterday. Pretty well attended with about 11 cars there and Chris Welch, an AO from Tesla, was in attendance. Answered some questions from locals, ate some good BBQ and got some photos. A very very welcome and needed addition to the I-44/Midwest corridor.

Never crossed my mind to contact them...also the S&T paper probably would have eaten it up.It's a shame the RollaDailyNews wasn't able to include a picture of the vehicles. I guarantee you 99% of the population has no idea what a Tesla looks like.

Great photos Evan! Thanks for sharing!
...what is it like driving on autopilot on Missouri on the interstate road to Rolla...
This is my review of this SpC location based on our recent trip:
Location - not the easiest place to find. It's about 5 minutes off I-44, and you have to drive through 2 roundabouts to get there. Its physically in the parking lot of the Bandana BBQ restaurant.
Charging rate - excellent. Followed the general rule of (125kW - battery SOC) rate.
Facilities - the only food / bathroom option within reasonable walking distance is the Bandana BBQ, which itself was a pretty good restaurant. But if you are passing through at odd hours and just need a quick charge and bathroom break, well, good luck.
It's not that hard to find if you are traveling east. Just get off I-44, first right turn is the round-about that you are in for 0.5 seconds and grab the first right out of there. Head down to the Bandana's and it's to the left of the restaurant. It would be nice if there was a Tesla sign along the road for those who don't know it's at Bandana's. I just made the trip from Tulsa on autopilot for the poster who asked, and it was ok about 95% of the time. There are some sections that don't have lines yet and some crazy drivers that made me turn it off. Not a bad trip, though!This is my review of this SpC location based on our recent trip:

Indeed, they do. I always ask and they've always been very accommodating and even once offered me free coffee as I was leaving.Baymont Inn is a very short walk from the station, and they'll most likely let you use the bathroom in the lobby.
