Tesla does not sponsor these, but I think the Maryland Tesla Owners Club might.

So if the meter is already in place, will there be any further delays for inspections and the like or will it get turned on as soon as it is completed?

We are now on “Tesla Time”. It’s a good bet it will be operational in the 4th quarter of 2019.

New Frederick Supercarger! One to two weeks away! So I've been tracking progress on this site since last spring when the building permit was approved.

Work proceeded over the summer. But things have been languishing for the past six weeks as delivery of the red and white charging pedastals was delayed. I talked to the workers today, and construction/installation is complete. Only inspections remain before turn on. At last. A useful stop for Teslas traveling north from DC or west from Baltimore. Or coming to enjoy the restaurants, breweries, music and theater that charming Frederick offers.

They just need an electrical final, which should be easy to get, given they have the service turned on already. He just will look at the pedestals and two lights.

At Leesburg the installers had left power on and the site automatically turned on when power was turned on. I know they had a lot of issues charging at a high rate,and don't know when Tesla showed up and calibrated the units.

No juice this morning

 

[Reddy Kilowatt]

No one on site, no juice

Empty today, I didn't check for power.

 

[lynnpt2001]

How do you check, are the lights on the stands lit?

The lights would be on but on a sunny day it would be hard.

You can try to charge, if there isn't power your charge door wont open when you press the chargers button.

I was surprised they haven't turned the chargers on. They did at Leesburg, I know Tesla had issues with several pedestals but some did work.

There is a lot of trash piled up in the switch gear compound so there coming back.

 

[Reddy Kilowatt]

No change. A truck was there but not for Tesla.

I could really use this site for the next 3 days.

I attempted the last stall on Monday and there was no power, my charge port door did not open.

Does anyone know if these are V2 or V3? I’m assuming V2...

 

[MacGreiner]

V2

@JD T - are we doing a ribbon cutting?

My wife and I would definitely be up for a helping organizing a ribbon cutting bringing our Models X and S...and we MIGHT be able to interest a local civic leader or two.

Have you seen the difference in MD electrical inspections versus VA, I deal with these people all the time. VA=Easy MD= Well, I will leave it to your imagination....

If the date works, I have an X and M3, and another MS and M3 I can round up

 

[unixvrules]

Depending on the date, I'd be in. M3P in "Pedestrian White"

haha. Given how much fan fare we had with the opening of the I70 Ramp on Monocacy, I'm sure you can get at least a half dozen

Ribbon Cutting of New Interstate 70 Interchage

I had a good meme for this, but I can't find the Frederick News Editorial where they did a ribbon cutting and one of the people in the background says "well, they did buy the scissors"
