This was NOT a mistype! It is both lousy and expensive coffee.
Now on my list of things to avoid.:wink:

One thing Tesla could do to improve the network (that will come to no shock to those who have used them) is to make them easier to find. The nav was great to get me to the general location, but both the Chattanooga and Atlanta (Atlantic Station) Superchargers I used weren't in obvious spots and the nav stopped once it determined that we were "at the destination" despite the fact that we weren't actually at the Superchargers themselves. Thankfully, you guys had told me exactly where the Chattanooga 'chargers were located, but I hadn't thought to look into Atlantic Station at all. We ended up just kind of driving around in circles in the parking garage until we stumbled across them. A sign, a beacon, better nav, a blurb in the Nav telling where to go once you get there, anything would be helpful for first time Supercharger visitors.
What I find to be very helpful in these situations is to zoom all the way in on the nav screen and turn on the aerial (sat) view. The actual Supercharger location in on the map to within feet and the aerial view gives you good reference to the local landmarks like buildings, parking areas, etc. Using this technique, I have never had a problem finding a Supercharger.
Good luck and have fun!
A Tesla owner relayed the following news to the Atlanta group on Facebook: "Just a heads-up for those of you planning a trip via Chattanooga's SuperCharger. I was informed today by the Republic Parking Manager that the SC will be off-line in the near future while they complete an expansion and beautification project in the Intermediate Lot. They are going to repave the lot and the SC will be closed during the process. He did not know exactly when (within the next month or so) and he did not know how long it might be closed."

Thanks for the update. Glad to know you will share your charging station. I had planned to visit in Chattanooga area in the near future. Will reschedule trip. Checked Nav, it has no indication that this SC is not available. Lucky I do have a ChadeMode adapter. Unavailable Super Chargers should be reported ASAP. How long will it be unavailable?
Just to be clear, I do not have a "charging station" I have a High Powered Wall Connector (HPWC). 80 Amps continuous charge or about 58 miles per hour for those with dual on-board chargers.Thanks for the update.

(Chuckling out Loud) You can call yours whatever you'd like dhanson, but there is no "station" at my house, just a garage. I have a CONNECTOR, not a station. Just sayin'.Charging station is any solution that includes power and cable to connect to the car. It can be L1, L2, or high voltage DC (commonly called L3 even if it isn't technically an approved term). If you took a UMC or a j1772 evse and put it inside a box with the cable hanging out and someone could charge from it we'd sill call it a charging station no matter what's inside the box or how slow it works.
The only thing that isn't a charging station is if you have a bare plug and we have to bring the evse. If you offered a 14-50 socket that wouldn't be a charging station.
