Supercharger - Jackson, Mississippi

[flyeyes]

Charging at the Pearl, MS supercharger on the way home.

Getting 300+ volts and amps, charging full speed

Nice little outlet mall, wife has spent $200 so far. It would have been cheaper to fly I think

Seriously, though, this seems a good location. Much, much better than Mobile which is...unfortunate.

This is exciting to see! While poking around Tesla's Supercharger Map for 2016 I can assume from this picture that the cities to receive a Supercharger station, in addition to Pearl, MS, will be:

• Meridian, MS
• Tupelo, MS
• Grenada, MS
• Dyersberg, TN or Blytheville, AR, or north Marion, AR (hard to tell)

Hopefully Hattiesburg is the one between Jackson/Pearl and Mobile. The could certainly use one there

The Tesla supercharger is located in the outlets mall in pearl. They have around 10 stations.

Where you been, Carlos? It looks like you are a local, we need more pictures (although flyeyes really covered it)

I will submit pictures as soon as I can . I wish they were a little more north

Best. First. Post. EVER!!

So that one is a “pull straight in” setup... interesting.

I can't claim to have ever seen one in person before, but of the photos I have seen, most have been “back in” setups. Which is more common?

I'm not an expert, but it seems to me that most of the earlier superchargers were "back-in" and the newer installs tend to be "straight-in"

I've used three (nashville, knoxville, Mobile) that were back-in and one (Pearl) that is straight-in. I think the straight-in design is less likely to have issues with ICEing.

 

[Drucifer]

Straight in works if you have a trailer or hitch box (or skis or bikes etc.) on a Model X. Back-in is a fail under these circumstances.

Working well in April, 2019

Have any of you actually used the Pearl, MS supercharger? Does it really exist? It isn’t showing up on any of the apps anymore and it was one of the main reasons I bought my car (sick mom, many visits). I have to go through there to get to my hometown this Thursday.

Hey there, this thread would be better suited for the Americas -> Southeast sub-forum rather than this one, which is for European charging infrastructure.

I did some looking and found right thread for the supercharger you're looking for. (I think just about every supercharger has its own thread). Here it is: Supercharger - Jackson, Mississippi

I also recommend checking plugshare for recent reports. Here is the charger's plugshare page, with people reporting successful charges as recently as September 26th.

Good luck with your drive Thursday, but in my experience you won't need it. I've had nothing but smooth experiences supercharging.

3 superchargers at the new Brandon service center. Might be operational. Grand opening 30 July.

 

[jsight]

That's interesting... it seems unusual for those to be publicly accessible.

 

[Jeremy3292]

Is this replacing the Pearl service center?

@Tenzin

Also posted to Twitter. The Tesla showroom / service center may be opening on Saturday, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the superchagers are ready. If anyone visits, please report on existence of transformer and meter from local utility.

Thought I would add that Tesla is adding super chargers in the Walmart parking lot off Hwy 18 and I-20. I grew up in Jackson. That’s not really the safest area after dark.

Supposedly Electrify America is adding some chargers there.
