Supercharger - Warsaw, NC (closed)

Or how about Greenville, SC. That one was over 50% done and had to be abandoned and later ripped out due to a landowner dispute. Here is the summary on that one: Supercharger - Greenville, SC

The worst part of that whole fiasco is now the landowner that would not let the power be run to the supercharger sold out last year and they demoed the entire property.

yes, someone was able to charge at it yesterday afternoon. Kinda an interesting one being that Tesla has removed it from it's systems and (from what info I've received) is in the immediate process of being relocated to preserve the customer experience.

<speculation>
Now this next part is 100% speculation on my part and is not info I've received, but I wonder if there was an incident that was bad enough for them to take the drastic step of pulling it from nav/maps immediately even though it's still online.

The Supercharger in Columbia, SC is in a bad spot also. The hotel that it is in has allowed the chargers to get completely ICED several times and Tesla has told many people that they are already looking for a different location for that one.

Interesting that Columbia for the eclipse was great. The parking lot was busy, but still had many empty spaces, the chargers are not right near the door (though not far from the back door), the signage was good, and none were ICEd. Even the Teslas there moved out quickly form the charging spaces to regular parking spaces.

That said, this was the middle of a Monday vs. evenings or on a weekend.

If I were the owner of the McDonalds right next door, a couple of destination chargers might pull some extra customers in, if and when the Superchargers go offline. At about 50 miles charge per hour, a long lunch will at least get you to Wilmington.

It would nice if they brought in some portable chargers to use while the relocation process was on going!

This stinks on ice. Like everybody I found the motel hostile, but just didn't go in. The Smithfield's across the street would seem like a possible relocation. Large parking lot, much nicer. Having an SC west of the I-40/SR24 split is necessary so the traffic heading south (Wilmington, Topsail) and that heading east (Emerald Isle, Atlantic Beach) can both use it.

They Warsaw supercharger is available for emergency evacuation use only.

And to add to that, if you use it, go to McDonald's for bathrooms and don't go in the hotel.

Did this information come from Tesla?

There is no official statement, but it has been conveyed that the Warsaw supercharger will remain powered on until after the storm is no longer a threat. The supercharger network connectivity has been shut down so there is no visibility into status but it remains powered on and functional for now.

The rumor mill suggests that the relocation will move the SC to Wallace.

Looking at the new SC map that got released today by Tesla, it appears this SC isn't moving at all and is just going away. 141 miles from Rocky Mount to the Wrightsville Charger. Should be no problem with anything 60 and above I think.

Saw that; depending on wind/temps/speed could be a tight fit to proposed North Hills SC in Raleigh...still think they need another I40 location.

Yes, or another site on 95, but something should fill the void, but given this map is for "2018" I'm not thinking it's in the cards yet. Time will tell.

They could also look to the US 70 corridor, for those of us headed to Emerald Island, New Bern or Oriental. Smithfield or Goldsboro would be nice, particularly for the model 3s.

I sure hope not. I've depended on Warsaw to be able to pull of day-trips to the coast. Without it, this is not possible.

Has anybody tried Warsaw recently?
It was working on the 15th and not on the map
Going to Wrightsville beach Friday and could use it
Tesla says it's offline but I think it may be powered up
Makes no sense to turn it off until it's pulled out
Guess illl know Friday and will post status

That's good to hear thanks for the update

Just used this one this afternoon. Still works! Even got a great charge rate.
