I think what plays a role from Tesla end is location, willingness of the shopping center to install (which can be tied to money), and nearby amenities (food, drink, shopping)... if I had to guess. From the destination end it’s “will this increase customers in my shopping center?” ... so it’s a bit of both.

But that's also true of every other SC location as well, I'm not sure what makes this one any different.
Agreed. ... i was contrasting it.... It’s not that big of a thing, but the affluence of the area allowed promenade to exist which, in turn, allowed this to happen (vs. “the local demographics [didn’t play any role] in the choice of location.”) I’m just excited for more local superchargers lol, not trying to start anything. I’m more curious who we can bother to make it a reality faster. I called the promenade help desk and tried to get specifics on timing. She just said it’s being worked on and should be done “soon”. I imagine if a bunch of people called it would help move it along but I obviously don’t know the ‘bottleneck’ (lol) <3
With a project like the supercharger network that has so many locations being built, you will often get seemingly bizzare/random sites being selected that don't seem to fit the expected uses or current strategy very well. This happens for all sorts of reasons. Some possible ones for this particular spot:
- Tesla may have internal plans to eventually build a Service Center somewhere such that having this supercharger location would provide an appreciable benefit even if it's not that useful for major thoroughfare traffic.
- A number of shareholders or VIP clients had requested a supercharger in the area.
- A Tesla executive or employee involved in site selections often travels a specific route that this location would benefit and due to personal influence was able to get it through review (e.g. helps with drive to visit family or vacation home).
- The host property owner was very proactive in requesting to partner with Tesla, including possibly offering better terms over what Tesla normally gets.
- etc.
The user (PlugShare) said they were waiting to activate it, so it might mean construction is over.
I asked when they’ll be active... they said they’re installed but not active, there will be an announcement when they are opened, and they don’t have any other information....

lol you’re dreaming in Technicolor. Have you seen how long it takes to commission an NJ Supercharger?
Lol, yup. Still no transformer and electrical meter. Once both are installed we could be getting close.
