Supercharger - Laurel, MD

[CatB]

I can confirm that as of 20 minutes ago, that same sign listing 6/30 as decommission date is still posted on Bethesda temp charger. Will stop by tomorrow as I can to see what happens. Incidentally, the supercharger spots being full doesn't stop random Teslas from using the HPWCs...

@CatB Thanks!

I will be in Laurel this evening and will look at the new site to see what the status is there.

Laurel report: still no transformer this evening.

Wheel stops are in but I wouldn't depend on them with those columns.

I'm sure the columns would do a decent job at preventing you from hitting the wall, though.

@Lanny ... Here is the physical attempt using the vehicle parking space "stops." As you can see, my front tires were contacting the actual stop and there was an approximate 3-inch clearance from the concrete post.... NOTE: I have the EZPass license plate extender as well.

I want this Supercharger to be powered so badly.....(jus' sayin')...

I wonder if it's different for a Model X.

For those speculating about Bethesda decommission...as of Saturday 7/2 it was working.

You actually tested it instead of just eyeballing and bellyaching? No fair!

When I test drove last month at the Bethesda location, they mentioned that they would not be decommissioning it. Don't know if it was a sales pitch, though.

As of today @ 2:00pm there was no activity and NO transformer. Everything else looks complete. The spots should be easy to turn into as the parking aisle is about 25 feet wide.

@Lanny reported a bit back on ANOTHER THREAD that the notice has been changed to reflect a 7/31 decommission date. Very likely due to Laurel not being ready:

How many stations are expected? May have to hit it on an Arlington-Paramus trip in late August.

Per the first post of this thread, eight.

Per the first post of this thread, eight.

Photographic evidence supporting eight as well. I guess all we need now is eight cars plugged in at the same time to document the assertion. Gee, I wonder how we can make THAT happen?

I don't get it. If you live in Laurel, why do you care about a Laurel Supercharger? Your not planning on using it for local charging, are you?

Grain of salt. The sales folks had no idea there was a sign indicating that the chargers were about to be closed at the end of July.

Still no transformer as of Saturday noon. However, they are working on erasing the existing lines on this entire row of parking spaces today.

Imgur user claims power on "next week". Seems unlikely of no transformer!
