Supercharger - Arlington, VA

[lensovet]

Yeah, I agree. The weather shelter would have been nice, but at least you don't need to search two levels in case the first level is full.
Also, how do we update the details on the supercharge.info map? It says 16 stalls but the picture shows 18.

Tag @BlueShift to update the page

They usually update 1-2 days after they’ve gone live

The Tesla website supercharger list and in-car supercharger nav system *should* update within a day or two of officially going live, but not always. Example: Mashpee, MA went live on January 17th and still is not showing up on either. As was later shared, supercharge.info is not maintained by Tesla and is updated pretty quickly from info shared in this forum by tagging BlueShift.

Looks like they are still finalizing some cabling, or made it appear that way, and have yet to install the parking stops.

 

[JoshM3]

Well they look about complete to me. There are 18 stalls but 19 parking stops.

@BlueShift @Chuq would one of you mind updating the address on this location to:

1201 N Fillmore Street
Arlington, VA 22201

This is the address of the parking garage entrance/exit (as shown on Google Streetview). 2800 Clarendon Blvd will take drivers on a wild goose chase around the town square.

Anyone know if the chargers are active yet?

They still have a few random cones out in front of some of the chargers. I walked by the cabinets and they were eerily quiet. Also the permit on Arlington County ‘s page still shows active and not finaled, but that could be delayed in updating. These chargers don’t light up so you can’t see if there’s power without trying or running a meter. So there is no indication they are running yet but could be any day .

I stopped by there tonight on foot so I didn't try to charge. There are still three cones, some wrapping on the charge cords, and no noise from the electrical equipment. I'm not sure what is causing the delay.

So, do we know for certain if parking fee is charged to access these chargers?

 

[Big Earl]

I just stopped by the garage to see what's going on. A few highlights:

• It's a long drive to the top, kind of tight, with lots of people walking
• $6 for 1 hour of parking
• There is some sort of grace period because it let me out for free. I only stayed for 5 minutes.
• The site looks mostly complete... some materials left to clean up
• No power to the Superchargers

 

[jjchan]

Is the parking garage automated during business hours or is there an attendant present?

It's 100% automated. There's an office for an attendant/manager but I didn't see anybody in there. There are no booths - only ticket machines.

Multiple people have stated earlier in this thread that parking can get validated at the grocery store there (whole foods?). It waits to be seen how true this is.

Yes, according to this post:

and from the Whole Foods web site:

We also offer 2 hour validated parking in the lot across the street (underneath Pottery Barn).

The parking garage under Pottery Barn (2700 Clarendon Blvd) is a different garage from where the Superchargers are located (1201 N Fillmore St).

Yes, but according to the post I linked:
Both sides are interconnected. If you use the WF entrance drive to the end and make a right it will take you through an opening on the lower level of the other side of the parking where the SC will be located.

Interesting. I'll have to go check that out. I didn't venture down to the lower level of the Fillmore Street garage. If they're interconnected, that's a huge underground garage.

Here's a satellite view of the area. I've marked the Superchargers along with the Fillmore Street garage entrance and exit. Pottery Barn is in the upper right of the image, with the Whole Foods off the image above it.

If you do check it out, can you confirm that they are interconnected, if indeed they are?

I'd be happy to, but I can't get to it until Monday, as I'm collecting some Superchargers in New Jersey this weekend. Perhaps one of the locals can confirm? If not, I'll head over there next week.

Looking at their website, it appears that all of the garages are tied together, so this is a good sign.

Market Common Clarendon | Shop, Dine, Live and Explore!

We have two parking garages:
1201 Fillmore St may be accessed from Fillmore St, The Loop, and Clarendon Blvd across from Whole Foods. Parking Panda is accepted in this garage.
