I know this has been discussed but do I ever think these spots are at risk of being ICE'd A LOT. Unlike Aulac, those are prime spots close to the main building, this location is super-busy and it does not have a parking lot as large as Aulac. Hopefully the signage is clear and Irving helps educate their customers. I understand the other side of that hill is the lot for trucks but I'd have had no problem charging back there.

Maybe the Irving’s can place orange pylons at each stalls, time will tell how much icing. Aulac stalls do get Iced, but usually only 1 or 2 stalls at most when busy. Hopefully they install farther from entrance for the rest of chargers in the Maritimes.

It sure would be nice to know the specifics of the deal between Tesla and Irving. Is Tesla leasing the spaces or are they being provided by Irving for free in exchange for the customer draw opportunity? If the former then there's more weight behind the "reserved" status it seems. Not that it seems to make a difference anywhere else.
That is a good question I don't think anyone has ever answered definitively because each arrangement is likely unique. Who knows. All I know is my family has spent more $ eating at the Aulac Big Stop in the last year than all previous years combined (CHAdeMo + Supercharging) and the more Superchargers we have in Atlantic Canada will increase Tesla sales so it's a win-win for both parties
Thanks to all for keeping this thread updated. We have made the trip “home” to visit family every year since moving to Maine twenty-eight years ago, but this will be our first visit with the Model 3, so your inputs are very helpful in planning for our next visit. Look for our Maine plates at the Atlantic Canada supercharges this summer, would love to say “thanks” in person.

I received Irving big stop restaurant coupons in the mail and will use them tomorrow in Aulac, first supercharge in my new 3 .Maybe in the future we’ll receive a buy one home style meal and get free supercharging coupon in the mail.That is a good question I don't think anyone has ever answered definitively because each arrangement is likely unique.

Any news on where in SJ?
I hope not the one out near the Quispamsis/airport exit, but am afraid that is likely the spot...
Irving? If so - no. There is nothing there but this Irving gas station... (might be a Big Stop - I never stop there so do not know)
I had posted earlier the need for this to be on WEST Saint John - not way out east - but the consensus was against my thoughts.
Now that it is being tendered - I was just posting my hope that they may have heard me.. haha!
The electricians working in Waasis are based in SJ. There's no mention of a site in SJ itself (besides Tesla's unrealistic map) or am I missing something?

The guy I talked to said they were only doing the site prep, that a different company was doing the electric.
My mistake then on that. I must have misread the post referencing the facebook group. I assumed SJ was out for tender...

Today at noon.
Parking lot FULL with lunch crowd. Agreed ICEing is going to be an issue! Now that I have met the manager I'll ask him if he knows what the deal is.
