second!! would be great for this state to wake up to EV and solarAgreed. I'd really like to see a solar access law passed in AL but I'm not holding my breath.

Just an FYI... Parking is no longer free unless you validate at a restaurant, etc. There's now a sign at the entrance that says Tesla owners are subject to parking fees.
Also, it seems all stalls are running at 50kW max.
That community is being developed by Signature Homes. While I am glad to see them partnering with Alabama Power on the Reynolds Landing community, Signature Homes actively blocks solar panels on roofs in all of their neighborhoods by placing a restriction in community bylaws when they form HOAs. So basically:For what it's worth the Southern Company is moving in the direction of Solar and is involved in a new community close to Ross Bridge to be powered by Solar energy by way of a Solar farm near the subdivision
Tesla has already done it: Tesla SolarI'm not going to fault Signature too much. Many people, myself included, think traditional solar panels are quite unappealing. Someone needs to develop a way to get solar from the rooftop in a more appealing way.
Yep and we tried to get that approved for our house. That was a hard no. As far as they're concerned, they're solar panels.Tesla has already done it: Tesla Solar
I live outside Huntsville, AL in north central Alabama and drive to the Gulf coast a few times a year. I have used this Birmingham SC a few times and hated the traffic and routing every time. It was okay when it was the only choice but since the opening of the Steele, AL SC I have not been back. While my routing distance increases about 40 miles I almost literally fly past Birmingham on I-20 and never mess with Birmingham traffic. This SC is only convenient for traveling if you are staying at the nearby Sheraton Birmingham Hotel.
You also shouldn't have to buy something to get your parking validated. I realize this is not a huge deal to most Tesla owners, but just on principle, there should be some type of FREE validation arrangement.
Uh, it took my credit card sometime in the past 6 months.
I have a big bone to pick with the rates being unpublished. Once it took my ticket without validation for no charge. Just how long do we have before being charged? Then charged by the minute, half hour, hour, what? How do we know when "$10 Event Parking" is active?
Oh, and is there not still an 800 number on the exit gate to call if having trouble?
I came through there a few weeks ago from east on I20 and it was not too bad, but don't follow the in car nav, it does not know the bridge is out. Use another nav device.Nav nightmare?
Any updates on this Bham location?
Still pay-to-park? Still a constitution and Nav nightmare?
I came through Birmingham this past Sunday around 9am and was not bad at all. I was on I20 east bound (from Meridian MS) and tried to follow google maps nav on my phone (the in car nav does not show the bridge is out), and ended up missing an exit and had to take I65 south for a bit. I wound back around through downtown and made it to the supercharger. With it being Sunday morning, traffic was a non-issue.How big of a pain is it gonna be to get in and out of there around 9am on a Sunday?
