Supercharger - Buford, GA

[jfe_md]

At least the Tesla map says "Opening Fall 2018" and not just "2018". Maybe they will start construction here soon.

OK Tesla - you have had the permit since 5-22-18 - let's get started.

I've now been told that this isn't going to start until October.

I think Tesla is diverting resources and going all-hands-on-deck for Model 3 production, and thus make Q3 a profitable quarter.

So.... you're saying that independent electrical contractors are being sent to CA to build Tesla's?

Looking forward to this one...will be about 10 minutes from me when needed.

Anybody know anything about the supercharger apparently under construction in Alpharetta (1400 Upper Hembree Road)?
Thanks

Pretty sure that one is in conjunction with a new Service Center in Alpharetta. Apparently the Superchargers are of the urban (75 kW) variety.

Below is the link for the thread where that one is being discussed. Go to the parent folder of this group (in a web browser, click "Southeast" above) to see all of the threads.

Supercharger - Alpharetta

[I asked the mods to add " GA" to that thread title, not done yet, maybe it's not possible.]

Yeah, I went by the new SC on Upper Hembree today just to take a look. They are open and working...the parking lot is nearly empty so it doesn't look like many know they are there yet. This will be my SC of choice as it is MUCH closer than Decatur.

 

[Autolycus]

I wonder if they will do deliveries here or if people will still have to go to Decatur (at least I think everyone has had to go to Decatur, right?)

So the chargers there are working now?

I didn’t investigate them, yet.

Can you guys discuss this in the Alpharetta thread please?

Went by the site yesterday.
Got all excited.
Got out of the car and talked to the people doing construction!

They were just repaving part of the lot.

Was over that way today, the lot looked nice...no Supercharger building activity at all.

 

[HG Wells]

Well one good thing about the delay is that it might be the next generation Supercharger.

Was at Petsmart yesterday. Did not see anything.

Drove by yesterday evening after dinner with the wife just to check on this site. No signs of progress, no signs of any kind.

In other news, it has been 8 weeks and 1 day since I placed my Model 3 order. Not that I’m counting or anything!

Drove by today 9/5 @ 6:26 and construction has started

 

[EnrgyNDpndnce]

Thanks for the update! I can’t tell from that picture where it is, can you describe the location. When you took that picture, was the Petsmart directly behind you? I know, I know, I should just go over there and see for myself!

I went to Costco this afternoon and as I was leaving, I saw some activity. Driving by, perimeter fencing is being installed on the south west end of the strip mall. The fencing is in the shape of what would be expected as a Supercharger area. I didn't see any other equipment such as transformers or any other paraphernalia which would be expected. This is almost directly across from Costco on that end of the strip. YES!
