I’m a tesla owner living In Princeton wv, I passed by the chargers today and i don’t believe they are open yet. Still some covers on the big white boxes. But the fencing and caution tape is down so you can pull right up to them. However there are still some wires in conduit running out of a pad of concrete directly beside the line of chargers.Any update would be great. Wonder if it will be operational later this month. Heading south and that path has limited old style V2 chargers and that would be a welcome relief. I then could make it to Mooresville NC

Can you get some pictures? Key items needed before the supercharger can open include:I’m a tesla owner living In Princeton wv, I passed by the chargers today and i don’t believe they are open yet.

Will get some pictures next time I’m by there
Nice to hear that there's another Tesla owner in Mercer county. I thought I was the only one. I passed by the new supercharger today and it looks finished but the pillars aren't lit yet.I’m a tesla owner living In Princeton wv, I passed by the chargers today and i don’t believe they are open yet.

According to rumor, there was a Tesla owner in about 2013-2014 who plugged into an EVSE at the Cole Nissan dealership in Bluefield who ticked off Bill Cole enough that he got together with the West Virginia car dealers group to ban Tesla from West Virginia. I don't know if the Tesla owner really existed, nor do I know if that rumor is true, but it is true that Tesla (or any other company that sells new cars directly to consumers, e.g., Rivian) cannot open a store or repair center in West Virginia due to the law authored by Bill Cole.Nice to hear that there's another Tesla owner in Mercer county.

Yeah, I think Bill Cole started the rumor. Doesn't sound believable to me. The dealership could have just refused the Tesla owner and there would be little benefit for the Tesla owner to do it anyway. Even if true it's no reason to limit customer choice. Cole just doesn't want the transition to EVs to happen because it will hurt his business. It's a shame that he was in a position to abuse his power like that.According to rumor, there was a Tesla owner in about 2013-2014 who plugged into an EVSE at the Cole Nissan dealership in Bluefield who ticked off Bill Cole enough that he got together with the West Virginia car dealers group to ban Tesla from West Virginia.

You wouldn’t happen to be the white model 3 would ya? I know there is 2 white model 3s, another red model 3, a grey model Y, a black model X, a red model y performance, a black model s, and two white model s’ between Princeton and bluefield lol. I’m guessing you might be one of them?Nice to hear that there's another Tesla owner in Mercer county. I thought I was the only one.

You opinion makes a lot of sense, given what I know about the behavior of recent West Virginia politics.Yeah, I think Bill Cole started the rumor. Doesn't sound believable to me.
