Supercharger - Bristol, TN

[1101011]

...The transformer and meter are in.

This is especially good news: often this is the last item prior to commissioning.

Thanks for the update. I cannot tell you how badly I need this to be finished!

What was the Charleston schedule? I searched and didn't find it.

Here's thread for Charleston, WV Supercharger - Charleston, WV

Thank you very much swengl.

Looks like Charleston, WV still isn't up and running. This is making me sweat!

Looks like it is almost complete. Transformer is humming and the meter is on. Meter isn't showing any usage but it's on. Looks like all electrical connections are complete. Landscaping is still in progress. This site may be active within two weeks.

sweet, i have just a little over two weeks before I get there.

With the power hooked up, it seems the local utility has inspected and approved. That is often a time consuming step. So, if I am reading this right, the only thing left is for Tesla to come out, inspect and number the chargers - correct?

Sounds right, could be any day now for it to go live.

THANK YOU for the update. I am so hopeful as this stretch is what led to the nickname for my Tesla: "The crazy b@tch" A whole lotta fun but she'll leave you stranded or in trouble with the law!

I am also working on tri-cities destination charging. We have Rush Street in Kingsport approved and the chargers shipped and Meadowview has been approved. I am also trying to get Bass Pro or Chick-fil-A on board at the Pinacles. If you are in the area drop me a message

I would like to see any type of charger in Johnson City. I contact the city commissioner's office about installing some in downtown with all the renovation going on there. Never got a response though.

Tomorrow I'm driving south on 81 from Pennsylvania to Tennessee. It sure would be nice if this charger opened up! We'll be driving an MX 75D maxed out with the family and luggage. Looks like I might not make it from Wytheville VA to Knoxville, TN without stopping for a charge somewhere. Any suggestions?

We've driven the section in the opposite direction in S70Ds and made it with over 20% SOC from nearly full charge. There is a 1,303 feet elevation drop from Wytheville to Knoxville, so baring any strong headwinds (Tesla Traffic Incidents and Information on your MCU browser is your friend) and driving much above the speed limit you should be fine.

Thank you. It is comforting to know of the significant drop in elevation.

Like how they have one front in charger at this location (and seven back in).

tfloyd or anyone else local. I would be incredibly grateful if you could drop by the site this weekend at some point and let us know if it is live. Thank you very, very much.

I will be stopping by sometime early Saturday morning.

Just stopped by and everything looks like it is complete. Landscaping is done and the site has been cleaned up. Stalls have been labeled. They haven't been activated yet and the meter is displaying "error" on the screen. I would think it would be active sometime next week.

Thanks for checking. Will by going by there at the end of June; hope it's on by then.

At exit #407 on I40 Sevierville the Honda Motorcycle dealership has a destination charger 80 amp and it is available 24 hours.
You would exit I40 then turn left toward Sevierville. Then turn right at 1st red light after crossing I40 charger is a block on right charger is on the wall of service dept.

Have a safe trip.

Seen 0's. Never seen "Error" before. Is there a utility electrician in the house who can say if that's bad hardware or just needs somebody to reset it?
