Supercharger - Fort Stockton, Texas

[ArizonaP85]

C'mon guys, this will complete I-10! So the obvious grand opening is October 10th.

Are you saying 10-10-10???

That would mean we have to wait for 92 years, 4 months, and 4 days.

I intentionally left off the year. Let's hope we only have 10/10 symmetry for I-10 completion.

For the more optimistic among us, August 10th would also be a good day ... and anniversary of the original completion of the I-10 roadway across America, see Deck Park Tunnel in Wikipedia.

FORT STOCKTON, July 4th, 2018

Today Tesla Inc. delivered it’s 200,000th electric automobile in the US to an excited customer, and presented a symbolic Golden Spike to an excited crowd which had gathered for the opening of its newest Supercharger station.
The fully-electric fueling station had been long anticipated by Tesla owners as a needed link for “convenient cross-country travel” in the upstart automaker’s cars. But no one guessed that the location would

Forget this Supercharger. Just heard the Trump administration is giving back Fort Stockton and all points South in exchange for a Mexican-built big, beautiful wall.

If that is the reward
I pick June 1, 2018

We have a winner!

At this rate, I'd take the over.

This location would be perfect for a trailer mounted industrial generator. Add a couple of 80A HPWCs, and a "chill lounge" in an Airstream trailer. Done and done. Then when the superchargers are eventually completed, move the entire setup to the next "impossible" location and repeat.

I don’t think the “visual” of that goes over well. “Look - Teslas Charging on Diesel engines spewing smoke and noise “.

I think some of the hotels and restaurants and hotels in town are missing out on market share. Addition of a few destination chargers would give some booming business, methinks.

Totally unexpected discovery on my way home to Eunice from checking the SC locations in Fort Stockton!!

Almost took the disappointment away from only finding flags in Fort Stockton

Here's what we have to deal with in Texas, courtesy of the Texas Automobiles Dealer's Association. This appeared in the Austin Business Journal in early 2016. Since it is copyrighted material I am posting only sections relevant to Tesla under 'Fair Use Doctrine' as my comment on lobbyists in Texas. I think her comment about 'special treatment' and 'tax dollars' is entirely wrong and shows the strength of the auto dealers here in Texas.

Sad, isn't it.

How many people contacted the candidates in the primary a few months back and asked their views?

I called the office of all the candidates on my ballot talked to several of the candidates & staffers. The one that clearly said Tesla needs to have a dealer "to be good for consumers" is, of course, the one that was won the primary.

What is that? A base piece of a giant windmill stem?

It's going to take DTEL a bit to get qualified workers to go out there in the near middle of nowhere - but that is just one job.
If you like to travel, then this could be a "fun" job after that. I'm thinking 3 - 7 months. Not sooner than 9/14/18, but hopefully before the end of the year.

That was my first thought too. But apparently that’s a rocket booster.

 

[TaoJones]

Well, they could double down and have an SC in For(got)t(en) Stockton *and* an SC in Balmorhea.

Crazy talk, I know.

OK - I just emailed him to ask how it was going. Hope he answers. He is monitoring his linkedIn account on his post, so this is definitely active.

Not just any rocket booster...
