Supercharger - Newark, DE

[AlMc]

Thanks for the update AlMc We almost went 24hours without new pics! I like the Tesla logos, although I kinda wish they were on a splashier background to make it even more obvious to not be ICEd. Shouldn't really matter with the location though.

I take it there was no movement at the original stalls?

No change in original stalls. The team is very efficient but they also smile and say 'no comment' if you ask them anything about their work and the future of the original 4 stations

Very nice... although I too wish the background of the stalls were the Tesla Red

Not only did they paint the lines correctly, but they painted Tesla logos too! Looks very nice. Is the site actually live yet?

Looks like this will be the final 'look'. Guys are cleaning up the site a bit and looks like they will be laying sod today.
Suspect this cosmetic work takes a day....And it should be ready for a ribbon cutting or just to 'turn on'.
My guess is the Easter weekend traffic will have these extra 12 stations available!

So are the original four still there?

Original 4 stalls present and working...now. Future?

As of 9am this morning the new 12 stalls were NOT operational.

I know this crew has been very quiet. Any thoughts if they may be assigned to another build? Laurel seems very close or even Harrisburg.

No knowledge and if I asked I am sure they would not tell me.

In other SC builds we've followed, folks always seemed to hope the crew would move to the next install. Doesn't seem to happen though, at least I've never heard of it happening in the SC builds I've followed.

I imagine they put the Tesla logos so the local rest stop maintenance crew couldn't re-do the lines!

Never underestimate stupidity!

It happened all last fall, there were two teams in the mid-atlantic/northeast and they just moved from site to site like clockwork. After Allentown though the contract seems to have ended or they went home or whatever.

Sorry, should have said SC builds "I've" followed. . .

Daily update

Clean up of area continues. The sod is 'ordered' and goes in tomorrow. The activity appears to be mostly inside the fenced area at this time.
I am growing more convinced there is no ribbon cutting but that it will just go 'online'.
While logical that it would be great to be operational by 'Good Friday'....who knows

The S you see in the picture just seems to be a random owner....

Does it have the same owner as the finger?

 

[AlMc]

In looking at the picture more closely I see the S has the charge port door open....Maybe he is camping out waiting for the first charge???

 

[AlMc]

Does it have the same owner as the finger?

No. Not my car...but my finger...'Delaman' is a much better photographer than I and is probably shaking his head as he views it......

 

[ohmman]

No. Not my car...but my finger...

I suppose I should have figured that out sooner by looking more carefully at the picture. These eyes of mine aren't as great as they were..

 

[PatD]

Did you talk to said random owner? If not, could be the "test" car to make sure all is working well?

 

[HankLloydRight]

Are the pedestalls numbered in any way yet?

1A, 1B, 2A, 2B
or
1A, 2A, 3A... etc

or something different altogether?

No numbering when I left the site about 4pm.

The S adjacent to the new chargers could have been a test car. It did not have manufacturers plates but could be a loaner out of the Devon SC

I may check out the site tonight again to see if the new lights they installed andr the stalls are working
