Supercharger - Charlottesville, VA

[andrewket]

Johnny, back in the day Tesla did have offical ribbon cuttings (Glen Allen had a pretty good crowd on hand for the supercharger ribbon cutting!). Check out Richmond Virginia Supercharger location confirmed. It was a chance for Tesla to thank the local business establishment (on whose property the chargers were located), the County, and the State (usually Environmental) personnel who helped make it possible. But as the pace of supercharger installs picked up, Tesla could not devote enough of employee time to this effort. (Tesla may still have supercharger openings for selected sites, though - I do not have that info). So now some intrepid owners are doing their own ribbon cuttings (very cool idea!)

I recorded the ceremony and posted it to youtube. The links are in the above mentioned thread. They should still work

At Stonefield today. No change in status, the stalls are still covered in plastic.

Very cool! And great videos, Andrew. Seem like we're still waiting for the installation of the meter. Should we tentatively schedule an unofficial ribbon cutting for next Sunday, 7/23 and move it out a week if it still isn't online by Friday?

I am game for 7/23. I have penciled it in and will await some confirmation it will happen. Thanks.

Has anyone visited the superchargers recently? Wondering if we need to push out the ribbon-cutting to the following weekend.

I might be able to head up that way tomorrow afternoon if nobody else makes it before I do.

Considering it's Saturday afternoon and we're not sure if they're online, let's move out the proposed ribbon cutting to next Sunday, 7/30.

Good call.

I hope they get them hooked up this week! About to head to the mountains, it'd be nice to charge in Charlottesville instead of stretching 250 feet of extension cords across the creek at our cabin.

Thanks @willr79

Has anyone seen if there is a meter installed yet?

Sure hope this is a done deal by Aug 22 as it will be nice for my trip to Lockn.

I wish my Aunt hadn't retired from Dominion Power - I once had them tell me it'd be six weeks to get a power line dug and meter installed at a house I was building since they were short on crews, called her, and they were out that same week.
