    I haven't been to South Point in the past few months. I'll try and make a run over there ASAP to confirm.

    I'm not familiar with any Mexican Restaurants at South Point, but google is showing "Uncle Julio's Mexican" near the Barnes & Noble / Apple Store. Does anyone know what parking spaces are blocked off?

    I visit SP quite often (because living only like 10 min away). Within 7 days (x.X), I'll double check the location and give you guys an update with some photos.

    This photo posted to the Triangle Tesla owners group forum by one of the members. Looks like it's likely going on the back side of Southpoint near the Apple store where the entryway to the Tobacco Trail is that goes up to the pedestrian bridge over I-40.

    That would be a very odd location considering the layout at Southpoint. That is prime parking next to Apple and Barnes & Nobles. Putting a bunch of Tesla Superchargers in the middle like that is just going to guarantee those spots are never available. There are spots much farther away from prime parking that would have worked better.

    I am skeptical this is the spot. If it is the spot I hope they make an effort to keep them open for Tesla owners. They do have plenty of security, but I don't think they like to chase customers much. I see lots of illegal parking that never gets any attention.

    I am with you... I stopped by there yesterday and noticed a guy picking up a container.. Also running the power would be a huge pain.

    They are just wrapping up construction on the Uncle Julio's that just took the space where Champs used to be, which is right in front of this area. The blocked off area was where they were storing the materials during construction, so unfortunately I don't believe this is for the supercharger. Like what was said earlier, that location is a bad one anyway.

    Well, if that's the case, then I'm sad!!! I haven't seen any other constructions yet. Will go around the SP and see if I can see any potential SC installation.

    Really didn't mean to be 'weird'. It's actually luxury mexican restaurant that they will launch in very near future.

    Possibly Yelp is as vague in its location mapping as Tesla with coming superchargers, but it shows UNCLE JULIO’S as being near CALIFORNIA PIZZA KITCHEN which is a busy parking area right by one of the main mall entrances. It would be very visible for marketing purposes. Perhaps the chargers are placed back towards the street in spaces that don’t fill too often. Would be pretty likely to be ICE’d during the year-end shopping frenzy.

    Alright, I went there last week, and that construction is gone. Sorry for wrong info, it’s definitely not for SC.
    I drove around SP and couldn’t even see any spot for construction. Maybe it won’t be happen in 2018. Sad.

    I was at the Raleigh Service and customer center last Tuesday. They said that it’s going to be SouthPoint for sure. Once again, not sure if it’s going to be in 2018 though.

    The dead HH Gregg parking lot seems like a better idea. Lots of space there. 30 minutes charging is not really enough time to cover that mall but it would be great for a Rise biscuits run.

    Has anyone heard of any progress? I'm not local, but I would surely use a SuC @ Southpoint when I'm down there. Thanks!

    I don't physically get over that way much, but I have been checking Durham building & electrical permits every 1-2 weeks and so far, no news.

    I'm hoping that when they finish up the SuCs in northern VA, they will come further south and build out Roanoke and Durham.

    Does anyone know if our Raleigh store is expected to close or remain ? Silly question since Tesla plans so well, but it has to be asked.

    Since it's the only location in NC that can legally sell Teslas I'd expect it remains open
