This doesn't matter. What's done is done. But I really wanted to know why the first Greenville supercharger site was abandoned. In general, most court documents are public record so I got copies.
Very briefly: The plaintiffs and defendants own adjacent property. The dispute arose out of a restrictive covenant agreement (RCA) applicable to a portion of ground where the two properties meet. The plaintiffs argued that construction of the supercharger violated the RCA, which prohibited the construction of any building that would block the view of their property.
Defendants are owners of the shopping center development (The Point) that includes Whole Foods and REI as anchor stores. They argued that the supercharger is not a building, that parking was a permitted use of the property under the RCA and that and that it would not block the view of plaintiffs' property. They further argued that installation of the supercharger would enhance the property and rather than damage the plaintiffs, confer a benefit on them.
However, due to the litigation the contract with Tesla was canceled. Plaintiffs and defendants entered into a consent agreement whereby defendants agreed to restore that portion of the parking lot where construction had begun to its prior condition.
