Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be anything suitable really close to the intersection. Comfort Inn near exit 59 on I-81 looks like the best compromise, if they could get them to host.

Amen to that! Two stalls? The most recent update to the official SC map has a "Coming Soon" pin between DC and Baltimore--maybe Laurel?
Visiting my father in Lexington. Went to see exactly where the new supercharger will be located. Imagine my surprise to find six guys working on Sunday morning.
Six pedestals are installed with conduits run to the pad for the charging cabinets. Pad for the charging cabinets is prepared waiting for a concrete pour. Cabinets themselves are on site still in crates. No sign of where the transformer pad will be located.
The crew was very tight lipped (thanks Tesla) but had no objections to me taking photos.

Thanks for the pictures and info.
Lexington now has a construction cone on Supercharge.Info based on your pictures!
Man this one is so close to being doable with 100% straight from home. 232 real miles. Little further than South Hill, which is 229 real miles. I did home->South Hill twice in the P85D in good weather, but that's mostly flat. Getting to Lexington involves some mountains, so probably not doable.
I'd feel a lot better about relying on some CHAdeMOs on I-81 if there were open, though.

Holly smokes! Tesla and their contractor are kicking butt!
Be afraid Audi with your fancy schmancy 150 kW, be very very afraid!

There is a CHAdeMO in downtown Roanoke (see on Plugshare)--about 5 miles from I-81. $3 to use for an hour I believe. I think there is also one in Blacksburg.

Keep in mind the destination charger in Christiansburg, as well. I've used it a few times and it's easy to get to.

I will post photos tomorrow if I can figure out how to place them here. Is there anything in particular you want detailed pictures of?

Thank you very much for posting. And hosting!
No, I think that you've done more than enough.
Well, a shot of your display while Supercharging is always appreciated.
