We were just there while attending Tanglewood. It's definitely operational and both Saturday and Sunday afternoon around 4 to 5 we were the only Tesla there. This was the final Tanglewood concert for the season, so I expected there to be other Teslas charging, but there weren't. BTW, if you are at all into classical music, make an effort to see Andris Nelsons conducting, he is really brings out the best of the BSO.

The Big Y actually has some decent ready to eat food offerings and a restroom. There doesn't seem to be any place to sit down though except your car.

Went to Tanglewood for the Raiders of the Lost Ark concert Friday evening. This SC is right off of the Mass Pike, Exit 2. Arrived with 30 miles of range and left with 250 miles. 1/4 mile walk (with sidewalks) to the Lee outlets where we found a food court with plenty of seating. this SC location is truly a gem for Tanglewood visitors.

hmmm... i thought there were tables at the front of the store looking into the parking lot, perhaps just a persistent hallucination i'm having. in any case, really want to support the BigY if possible for their roof-full of PV and EV charger installations.

Not when we were there, but there was an open air market like setup of local produce in the front. Perhaps that was taking up the space. Totally agree on supporting Big Y.

1) be careful pulling out of the charging stations, especially if using the face-first charger closest to the xformers. some drivers enter the lot at maximum-plaid and take hard left in front of the chargers.

2) nice seating area near check-out at BigY, not being used for other purposes this time. holy cow this is a much more pleasant experience than Albany SC in my opinion.

If you're into cheeses, check out the selection at Big Y. They had a Stilton, Humboldt Fog and a couple of very interesting Vt goat cheeses when we were there. Not ripe enough for immediate eating unfortunately. :(

3 weeks ago today was the first report of Lee being operational.
It is still not in navigation or the Tesla website.

I went there yesterday but was not 100% sure if it would have been open.
Made sure I had at least 40 miles of range left on arrival, just enough to make W. Springfield in case it was not open.
All was good but why is Tesla keeping this a secret?

I suspect there's some kind of administrivia involved.

When we were en route to Lee, we called in to ask about it because it didn't show up on the supercharger list. The support guy said "it's not officially open, but, um, I can see that someone's actively charging there right now!"
