Supercharger - Chicopee, MA

[RCFLMA]

A proposal has been submitted to create a new Service Center in Chicopee not far from the MassPike exit. This would be great for Western Mass Tesla owners who currently have to get service in Medford (Connecticut, 60-70 miles), Warwick (Rhode Island 80-90 miles), or Boston (90-120 miles)

Correct. The location they're looking at is a lot on Burnett Rd. It was actually on the agenda at last night's zoning committee meeting and was awaiting the minutes/recording to be published to see the outcome. It had already been discussed by the City Council and approved to be forwarded on to zoning/planning boards on 2/21/2023. Seems like the city is supportive of the project overall.

Anyone nearby the Chicopee supercharger interested in checking to see if it may be getting a Magic Dock upgrade? Each of the three supercharger cabinets have been taken offline this morning for maintenance - this could be routine preventive maintenance of course, but wondering if this is a site Magic Dock upgrade in progress perhaps given they are doing this throughout the country now and some colleagues of mine have noted this may be a pattern observed just before they show up as CCS-enabled on the Tesla app/map.

Current status as of a few minutes ago (the other two supercharger cabinets were offline earlier this morning already, making this the last of the three cabinets being worked on today).
