Talked to Sheetz in Lynchburg . The Sheetz at the Lynchburg Airport is getting a Tesla supercharger . Trying to figure out when it will open ??

Newport News received their pedestals in the last few days, so hopefully that means that the hardware for Lynchburg is on the way and some progress can be made.
I drove by the Madison site on Tuesday and the Lynchburg site on Thursday hoping maybe they got their pedestals like Newport News and some other locations....but no dice at either location.
Drove by tonight and no change. Salem, VA is really close, I believe they are just waiting for the power to be connected and/or turned on.

I hope this construction gets wrapped up before the holiday travel season. Not looking positive though.
According to Supercharge.info, it looks like none of the 250KW chargers have been completed since the Las Vegas one in July.

The cabinets/transformer are not in place yet, so there's still quite a bit of work to be done on this one, unfortunately. I'll keep everyone posted as I will be going by there at least once a week until after Thanksgiving.
No real change though not sure if the transformer is new, current pictures from 11/05/2019 at 08:40PM

I had hoped this would be in service by Thanksgiving as I need it but it’s looking less likely that will happen. If it’s cold when I travel I will have to reroute.

I see on Supercharger.info that both Salem and Newport New are now open. I hope that means Lynchburg and Madison will be open soon as well. Madison might have a better chance of opening soon as that one is V2 vs V3 for Lynchburg. Supercharger.info reported yesterday that NN was open, and their site reported today that Salem was open.
I drove by last night. They have removed the fencing, but have not done any additional work. I have a feeling that they will be delayed a while and have removed the fencing so that folks can use the parking in the meantime. 
Happy Thanksgiving everyone. So does anyone want to do an opening meetup at the site once they are done?
Definitely! I actually stopped at the new Salem SuC the other weekend on the way back from Blacksburg. It might be a while before this one is open, unfortunately. I'll be sure to post something when I see that they have the construction zone marked off/equipment delivered.

When did the Superchargers go wireless? Still needs some work, the charging speed was horrendous.
