You can thank the lack of road maintenance for the AP problems. The stripes are almost invisible in some places on I-85 and that really messes with AP.

I can corroborate the terrible performance of AP in South Carolina. I think it's a combination of the above mentioned poor lane markings and the slow gentle up and down of the hills on 85.
I did the same as you and dropped back to TACC-only for South Carolina. Lucky for us, 85 only slices through a small amount of South Carolina (of course you pay for it by taking the 4hr cross state path through North Carolina
).

From Greenville to Charlotte there is only one stretch that AP has problems on I85. The other direction is a different story though...

I would volunteer, but if I went searching for it, I probably wouldn't find it because my wife says I always miss the Point.

You would see as airj's post you quoted is over 3 years old and the site has been operational for quite some time.

Ironic how the building across the street from the Hilton Garden has been demolished. Wasn't it the owner of that building who held up construction at the original site because he didn't want us loitering around the side of his building?

Yes sir, it was. It was not a loitering issue though, they did not want to give the right of way for the power.

Well there is plenty of access now! It was a little sad to see all the demolition when I was there a few weeks ago. I hope it gets cleaned up and something else goes up soon.

It's been going on for months and months now. That building used to be a textile plant and was partially remodeled in 2000 into business offices. They never got a single tenant to lease the spaces so in 2008 they were going to bulldoze it and build a big neighborhood / shopping center. That never happened and then they found a bunch of chemical waste dumps that had to be cleaned up. From what I know now they are just clearing the property so it can be sold. It's really too bad the supercharger could not have gone in it's original spot. It was right on the end of that shopping center, across the street from the Cracker Barrel. Nobody ever parks where it was going and it's unlikely that it would ever get iced.

I talked to a Tesla tech yesterday about the reduced Supercharging speeds at Greenville, Asheville, and Charlotte. He said it's a known issue and they have a tech scheduled to repair these locations starting with Charlotte on the 6th and finishing up with Greenville on the 8th.

The Hilton Garden Inn is currently undergoing a renovation. You can still use the lobby but it is much smaller; restrooms also still available.

The Drury Inn along that same drag is pet friendly. It's a 10 minute walk to the supercharger, but closer to the restaurants and shops.
Just saw a note on Facebook about this charger being struck by lightning last night (4/15/2018) and is offline. Can anyone validate this info and give us an update? Thanks!

Thanks @jelloslug, I just noticed that the post said that it was the Columba SC that was struck and they found out about it at the Greenville SC. I will post in that thread. My bad!

I had heard that someone had hit one of the superchargers at Columbia and that's why it was down.

I just noticed this site has disappeared from the Tesla map?
(Speaking of which - map interface appears to have been updated!)
