Coming along. No idea when they will be turned on. 12 stalls. Even have some shaded spots

Thanks for all the gorgeous pictures! Hope they don't torture us like they did in Grapevine, TX. For weeks, those appeared to be ready in all respects for sea until they finally were energized.

We've got a couple of trips scheduled in late June and maybe July, so fingers crossed.

There's always the four 30 Amp Tesla wall charger adapters at the Holiday Inn on Causeway. They are pretty nice folks there who don't mind your dropping by for a sip now and then. We usually stay overnight there.

No more detours through Slidell!

This news also made Reddit, BTW.

Exciting! I'm in New Orleans all the time and this is going to fix so many issues in my life.
Any body want to wager a guess if they will be on June 3rd? Based on my Lafayette experience, they will not be.

I'm hoping to use it today - though I haven't noticed it in my ap yet.

Not sure if this is related but I noticed that the the grass median between the parking lot and the sidewalk in front of the store along Veterans was utility flagged when I drove by today.

Don't you mean "Neutral Ground"?

Cory saw your msg - I can’t reply for some reason but I’m a mile away from the CovLa one - I’ll update regularly

 

[drdumont]

I, for one, am all atwitter awaiting the good news!

Theyre up and running. 250kw. Chargers are on the north side of the supermarket.

The actual stalls are set up so that they are closest to the car’s socket if you drive forward into the parking spot, rather than reversing into it. Kind of a wordy explanation, but i couldn’t get photos to upload.

Looking like Metairie Supercharger is on

 

[drdumont]

From the other great pictures, it appears to be on the East side of the building North of the porte cochere.

I'll be there the weekend of the 11th or the 18th.

Yayy Tesla!

My bad, I said North but yes, East is actually correct

No prob. I have trouble telling up from down some days! See you at the new Suprecharger!
And Welcome, New Orleans, to the 21st Century. And the best part is, it happened in Jefferson Parish!

Now if the CDM were only right there. Teslas, Cafe au Lait and Beignets all in one stop... MMMmmm...

Down river.

 

[snord]

Down river.

lol. I've lived here more than a decade and it still gets me.

 

[Durbo]

Nice shade too

That seemed like a short time between permit to opening. I'm sure the data's out there to compare it to others, but I'm too lazy to look it up. I'm just happy it's there. Makes NOLA trips a lot easier.

They are on today!

It looks like citizens of Metairie are adjusting well to the public Supercharger. What a douche.

There should be a special seat in reserved Hell for morons like this.
No, I take that back. Morons can't help it.
Too bad there's few things to do to the driver that are legal.
If there were only a way to make the Tesla nozzle spark...
