Supercharger - Laurel, MD

[LetsGoFast]

Imho, the company was good, the food fair, and the service terrible. For those that visit Laurel, I recommend trying one of the other restaurants

Do any locals have a suggested best option?

Nando's

I proposed the new Clarksburg Outlets as an SC location would be great; its right off Rt270...have not heard anything back.

Yes, that would be much easier than Montg Mall

Nandos is great!

Sorry that I didn't make it out on Sunday; looks like everyone had great fun. I guess I was more tired than I thought as "snoozing" my alarm ended up with me sleeping well into the afternoon!

Depends on what you like. My opinions:

I'll third the two recommendations of Nando's. I haven't been to the one in Laurel but I've been to the downtown Silver Spring location several times.

Mission BBQ is good and pretty quick.

I like customizing my pizza at Blaze and it's pretty quick.

I like Buffalo Wings and Beer, it's basically a sports bar. There's a reasonable beer selection. If you eat there it will probably be around an hour.

I had heard that they might not close it, but actually might relocate the Superchargers to an area nearby that's easier to get into and out of. Anyone else hear any confirmation of that?

I heard they might scatter them randomly around the Newark rest stop.

I was there yesterday, had a great time meeting everyone. Did anyone happen to note which chargers were not working ? Did anyone send a notification to Tesla? I was the unfortunate S that the charger cable would not release from the car (2A, I think). Thanks for the assistance in getting the cable to release.

Numbers 3B and 4B dead.. I called these into SuperCharger Support. They did not know about 3B but they did have a ticket on 4B.

I think you are correct about it being 2A that would not release. Did not speak to them about that as I did not know about it at the time

Not really on topic (how about not at all) but I just got 8.0! Going out and play in a few..

Back to being #299 to open, as Bloomsburg, PA has been relegated to still being under construction.

Funny, a week ago I drove past the outlets - first time I had noticed them - and idly wondered if Tesla was considering the location for superchargers. Same management as Hagerstown (Simon). Good location for I-270 travelers, but not great from a network perspective -- I think it's too far from DC to be considered an urban charger, and it's not terribly close to intersections with other major highways (495, 370, 70). Having said that, I still think any supercharger location is a good supercharger location; it's best to maximize flexibility.

As for BJ's, I haven't been to the one in Laurel but I generally get decent food and service at the Tysons location. I suspect they're not well equipped to handle large parties. Sounds like there are plenty of other good options in Laurel though!

The man in the white Tesla was at Laurel today fixing the broken superchargers

As a Laurel resident I'm embarrassingly excited to have Teslas roaming around here every day now. Was creeping by the other day and took this photo . I don't mean to clog this thread up with spam, as I've posted this before a few weeks back, but... if anyone reading this would be around and willing to show some friends of mine the glory of a Tesla on Oct. 14th or 15th, PM me. As per my previous post in this thread with such a request, an amazingly cool Tesla owner gave me a fantastic ride a few weeks back (if you're reading this, MANY thanks again), and I have some friends visiting me in a few weekends that have yet to see why I'm so in love with these cars. I'll also try my luck for an 'official' drive via the Tesla stores... just would love for my friends to experience them too!

Went by today and saw someone charging at 4B. I assume all of the chargers have been repaired.

I charged at 4B today. It peaked at 95kW. I just did it to see if 4B was fixed. I noticed someone taped the cable on 2A (the one that won't release from the car) so you can't use it without removing the tape. Im guessing it wasn't Tesla that did that.

I also used 4B around 6:45. Got around the same 95kW. Place was a hopping. At least 4 others there when I arrived. Two more by the time I left about 20 mins later.

I'm confused. I looked at the supercharge.info and am pretty sure Laurel was 300. Just because they closed Bethesda doesn't mean we lost spot 300 does it?

Bloomsburg, not Bethesda. They were wrong about Bloomsburg being open. Still under construction even now.

@BetTSLA - thanks, that's what I was missing.
