Supercharger - Newark, DE

[Max*]

This is the most packed I've seen it 8/12 stalls occupied.

Also, PSA, don't blink. I was chatting with a few owners, turned around and my saw my 5 year old about 75% up the fence around the transformer cabinet. No pics of it, but a pic of the fence to show how easy it is to get their little feet into the cracks.

The mysterious Supercharger stall is gone. Judging from the soft texture of the asphalt patch, it was probably filled within the past 24 hours.

We will eventually see it again on Elon's first manned trip to Mars.

There's a children's short story in here somewhere.
Alien being visits Earth and takes the form of a supercharger in order to learn about the environment. Unfortunately he isn't accepted by the other superchargers and is adopted by the J1772's.

There it is. They learned all they wanted to about our planet and departed to inform the rest of their species.

Can we get someone to ask Elon about this at the next shareholders meeting?. It'd be way more interesting than the questions that usually get asked.

Poof! It is gone.

Photoshop, just like the picture with the Supercharger.....Kidding of course.

Stall 1B in Newark is still bent from an apparent incident earlier in the year. Remember, this bent stall was discovered shortly before the entire Supercharger station went dark for four days which caused some to speculate that the two were related. Personally, I think it was coincidental.

I agree with your assessment. The damage done to the stall is cosmetic and I'm guessing that's not enough to prioritize a repair. We never did get any kind of explanation for the outage did we?

Tesla forgot to pay the electric bill.

Russian EMP weapons test. It's Putin's fault. :0)

Enjoyed supercharging their with my wife at the end of our road trip on Sunday. Over the course of our 45 minutes, saw four other Model Ses and one X. Nice location with plenty of stalls, though the service center is always crowded and the fast food choices aren't the best.

I'm hoping MD puts one in Chesapeake House a bit further south on i95.

They have stated they will put them at both MD rest stops on 95, starting with the northern one, which has the permit and hopefully will start construction soon.

My understanding from the Aberdeen MD thread is that Maryland House (which is the southern one, roughly mile marker 82) will be first. Chesapeake House (roughly mile marker 97) superchargers are apparently still under consideration, based on demand at the Maryland House superchargers once they're operational.

Great to hear that! Thanks guys.

Superchargers at Maryland House will take some of the pressure off Newark. Any idea as to the number of stations at Maryland house?

@WATTS-UP: Supercharger - Aberdeen, MD (8 chargers)

At Newark now charging only at 36kW. Have tried two stalls. Odd.

Xen, did you get there with a cold battery pack?

I think in the past (last winter) people have said that Tesla limits the rate of charge if the battery pack is cold. Similar, the car limits regen when the pack is cold.
