I just swung by and there is still no change here from my Dec 10 post.

Happy Valentine's Day. I wonder what the hold-up is? Was hoping this location would be open for our next road trip this week so we could avoid Glenn Allen. Rat's

Glenn Allen has better amenities but this will be faster.

Glenn Allen has better amenities but this will be faster.

At that stage of our road trip from Ilinois, I'm more interested in getting a FAST top off before arriving at our destination in southern MD than amenities. But we take what Elon gives us. Cheers

And no change from three weeks ago…

No one been by here lately?

Still no transformer or meter, but there are now new orange markings from the rear grassy area across the concrete and out to a pole on the side of Washington Highway, where there are also 3 new utility poles laying on the ground.

Yep, I get it. Had to stop at Glen Allen recently on my way from NC beach. It was ridiculously slow. Looking forward to a faster option.

All 3 poles have been installed and some cables have been run.

Ashland, VA is showing as open in the car this morning.

WOW, great news. I now have another choice on my drive into southern MD coming in from I-64 from IL.

I stopped here on Friday the day after it opened and it was already pretty busy with Teslas charging and busy gas station traffic.

You have to take some pretty crazy back roads to get to it if you are traveling 95 North and you are looking to charge, it's not the normal 'right off the highway' location. Parking in the lot is a little bit tight but the SuC have their own kind of nook on the side/back.

Online per Tesla now too:

Curious..why not 350kw there at Ashland since its brand new? Elect infrastructure cant handle it I assume?

There is no such thing right now as a 350kW Tesla Supercharger at this moment. They might be upgraded at some point, but right now it doesn't exist.
