Supercharger - Newark, DE

[jrreno]

On my way out, I stopped at the old chargers, redirected two unsuspecting drivers, taped cables to the charger (one was already lying on the ground), and added small notes on each charger with directions to the new installation. That should do it until we all become aware of the new and improved Newark, DE supercharger.

Thank you for doing Tesla's job for them. If memory serves one has to drive past the new chargers even if you are coming from the south. Of course I suffer from CRS syndrome so maybe not.

They will be readily visible at night when coming in from the South bound side of I95. If you are coming in from the northbound side they are more visible than the 'old' 4 stall ones.

4 people here now, nice to still have 8 free stalls

This week end is Easter week end can we make next Saturday the official unofficial ribbon cutting?

I'm wondering if the signs for these are "Tesla only" or "30 minute parking" or a mix? I realize ICEing is less of a concern since they are more remote but was still curious. We'll be stopping for a charge next Thursday.

Heading south Wednesday to join the @TeslaRoadTrip planning team for a group Model III pre-order on Thursday in the DC area (at Tysons I believe), then we're going to watch the unveiling at a restaurant/bar that evening. Will be heading back north on Friday, so I guess I'm going to miss you all!

Agree with Al about the construction crew. Precise work. They were placing sod on the bare dirt this afternoon. When they are finished, Tesla Motors will have a new Flagship site East of the Rockies - and completed just in time for a major holiday travel weekend.

@Lanny is suggesting a grassroots ribbon-cutting ceremony on Saturday at Noon.

Reply here if you can attend.

More photos soon.

I can attend.

Hehe... I had forgotten about that...

I forgot about it too! Whoohoo! I never win. What do I get? What do I get? How about faster charging at Newark?

 

[WATTS-UP]

I’m up for the ribbon cutting next Saturday, anyone else?

They are Teala only signs.

If the ribbon cutting ceremony occurs on Saturday, April 2 I'll be there, But Easter weekend is out for me.

A freshly painted straight set of lines!

I'm the opposite, I can make tomorrow, but can't make 4/2. Can someone post definitive what it is.

Are you guys talking about hosting your own ribbon cutting, or is there (or will there be) an official Tesla one?

 

[delanman]

This would be a 'grassroots' ribbon cutting - no Tesla involvement (other than providing the Superchargers!)

Here are the construction photos taken yesterday:

Ugh, STILL with the stupid 1A, 1B numbering/pairing system.

When are they going to get a UI/UX consultant to come in and tell them the proper way to interface with PEOPLE.

 

[scaesare]

Man that would look cool with the stalls painted with the Tesla Red...

 

[Lanny]

It seems that this won’t be a good weekend for most people to be able to come. Half Dollar Bill has the ribbon and scissors and he won’t be able to come either.

Looks like it is open for another date to be chosen for the unofficial grassroots ribbon cutting.

So there are 12 now, or 16?

I'm just about to epoxy my garage floor, and now I'm thinking I NEED a Tesla "T" in the middle of it....

What do you guys think? Gloss white ceiling, walls, all LED lights, and white T with gloss black floor...
