Oh, come on, they have a week. If true, and the way this crew works, Atlanta could have two routes to I-95 by June!

We got our tip about The Point in Greenville in early April. Doesn't seem like the permitting process is going very quickly there. I feel like the real delays in Superchargers aren't on Tesla or their contractors, but the municipalities and the utilities.
I was wrong 475 is shorter but can take longer due to traffic at some times. I have noticed that I encounter less traffic through Macon on 75 most of the time now...

Makes me wonder why they didn't do this bilateral or maybe even a drive-through access (like gas pumps) from very beginning? I admit they would have to find sites that would allow such placements first - but would that be so difficult?
I was thinking the same thing this morning. Gas pump-like SC placements, e.g., 2 close together facing in opposite directions. However, @emupilot makes a good point. In Macon's current setup, (nearly) doubling the number of potential parking spaces might decrease risk of ICE'ing.
I wonder if 4 of the Tesla signs omit the "general parking" portion...
I have a question -- don't have a Tesla yet, so I don't know... does the owner have to be there to start a SC session? i.e., if all these stations are busy, can I park in one of the opposing slots and allow the current person charging to start my charge when they are done, without my being present?

In other words, can somebody without the fob, take the charge cord, open the charge door and plug it in? Good question since I don't know the answer myself.
Sounds good, so another driver can plug you in, but can't unplug you just because they feel more deserving of the charge. I guess it might be better if it could be unplugged if fully charged...
So this is a good SC layout at this location for lots of reasons.
According to the installer I was speaking with last week when I took the construction pictures, official testing is supposed to take place Tuesday, 5/6. I'm planning to drop by tomorrow and see if there's anything going on. If so I'll post more pictures of them in use. According to the last post on the PlugShare app, someone stopped by 17 hours ago (that would be 5/4/14 3pm) and posted that construction was complete but there's no power yet. I don't have a Tesla so I can't test it myself.
I was mistaken. They are heading to NORTH Carolina next. Huntersville. Sorry about that.
Supposedly. This would be off I-77 and not I-85. I'm a bit confused by that move, but we'll see.
Note that the last segment of I-485 around Charlotte (linking I-85 and I-77, through Huntersville) is currently under construction, with completion expected by end of this year. So the Huntersville site won't be too far out of the way for I-85 travelers, soon.
