SuperCharger - Denton, Tx

[fwgmills]

OYE! jaysquyres beat me to the punch!

I was also there today and took some pictures, but most of them are the same as jaysquyres shots...except for one.

I didn't get a chance to meet "OFFGAS" but his Model S is freakin BEAUTIFUL in the afternoon sun. If he's on this forum, I don't know how you scored that vanity plate. Very cool. While I was fiddling with Waze lining up my next errand stop he came out with some friends (from lunch?) and backed his car up to look over the Supercharger before leaving. I didn't want to fanboi all over him with his buddies.

Excellent idea. I think Saturday would be great, but let's confirm it's working first. I'll monitor the progress.

Also, I love the TX Vanity Plates. If yours isn't listed here, please send me a picture!

Hey that's me! I've been driving by there pretty regularly, hoping they'd be open so I could jump in and be one of the first. If tomorrow is the day, I'll probably see you then! I'll try to swing by around three in case you're right.

Hi Brad. I've always liked a darker blue color for all the cars I've driven but after looking at your color choice...wow, that is beautiful.

We are charging in Denton as I type this! It's not officially open but the gentleman who is here applying the numerical stickers let us charge!

Another photo. Not all the stalls appear to be energized.

(A few minutes later: Yes, only the two stalls on each end appear to be energized.)

(Sorry for all the edits. I posted this from an iPhone, which is a frustrating exercise in microscopy.)

Rockster, Thanks for the pics! Excellent that this one is online!

Jay, There appears to be a blue placard above the Tesla parking sign on the stall you parked in. What does it say?

Hey, since the Denton Supercharger is supposedly powered up. Let's have a ribbon cutting on Saturday! We can cut a cheap ribbon, toast with some fake champagne and have lunch at Mom's in Aubrey. Get there around 10am

The Tesla rep on site said that the handicap stall is there because the landlord and the city required it.

Congratulations Denton!

I'm hoping the Tesla supercharger activation team is on the road heading to Amarillo next. The system here is complete, with meter, and only needs activation now.

Do you know what the blue sign says? The spot that Jay's in isn't a handicapped spot.

If Jay is in the last spot before the transformer then it is the handicapped spot.

Cars and Coffee in Plano is this Saturday morning....(very early morning)

Decisions, decisions

I am taking my model S (70D) from Wichita Falls to love field tomorrow until Sunday. I can make it back to Denton, but barely! Do you guys think the supercharger will be "officially" open Sunday? If it's not open for whatever reason I'll be in a real jam as I suspect I'll only have 20 miles or so remaining. I can take my ICE vehicle but would prefer the model S. What's the consensus on Denton being online and good to go Sunday, Nov 8? Thanks Jeff

Aren't you usually winding down there by 10? You could just pop on up and not miss anything.

I'm in for Saturday. Hopefully we can get at least 6 so we can take a "full" picture.

I don't think that will be a problem. We have at least that many confirmed on the Facebook group -- so we can have our first fight over local-charging as well.
