Supercharger - Gaithersburg, MD

[TaylorJD]

I stopped by today as well. Pretty busy already (3 Model Ss and another Model X).

PS:
Tesla has the Supercharger icon as grayed still on their website, but the info is saying open with a full description. It is now missing altogether on the car's nav.
Here the web description:

I posted the event on the Tesla Owners Mid Atlantic site and tweeted it. See everyone at 8am <I’m already tired thinking about it>.

Be very careful pulling into the stations. While it is great to front into the stations, there is a line of cars across from them that make it hard to make a wide arc into the spots. And the stations are close together. I foresee a lot of scratched up bumpers. If you figure out a simple way to park here, please post your solution.

The fit is sure tight! I had to adjust two or three times yesterday before feeling comfortable enough pulling forward into the space. No complaints otherwise though. So excited to have this two miles from our house.

Very nice. Great reaching out!

@Half Dollar Bill - Will you be able to bring the ribbon cutting supplies? I have some, but my giant scissors are less than effective.

I put my photos from today's breakfast/ribbon-cutting in a shared Google Photos album. Hopefully, others can add theirs as well.

I think there is more to it than that. I have arrived there at 25% after a 1 hour commute from Bmore and the max I have ever rcv'd from here is 60kw?

No change today - From an hour ago:

 

[David.85D]

FWIW, I set up a dummy route to see what it says about it on the Nav, and the Gaithersburg supercharger is listed as 120 kW.

 

[CHRGIT]

As a general rule, if my current battery percentage plus the current rate of charge is over 120, I feel I’m getting a good charge.

Stall 4B damaged connector. I taped it with yellow tape. Reported.

 

[MacGreiner]

So quickly?

So quickly?

Yep. According to supercharger support they see no successful charging at that pedestal in over a week.
