Any idea why this location isn't on the Tesla SuperC map?

Because it’s not working yet.

Because it’s not working yet.

Wouldn't we see it listed as "coming soon" or under construction?

Not as under construction, and not at the definite location either.

Right.. I was asking why it isn't listed as coming soon. Thank you for the salesmen explanation.

No idea. Always wondered the same...

 

[MarcoRP]

Last minute installation maybe?

 

[lensovet]

Plenty of installations have been discovered in the wild even though they were never reported on Tesla’s coming soon map.

It could be a replacement of the Roxbury SC that seems stalled out. No movement in over a year on the quick chek project where it was supposed to go.

I'm hoping it is not, and it is in addition to Roxbury, but won't know until this one goes live on the Tesla map.

Considering how chaotic the company is behind closed doors, I wouldn't be surprised if it was simply overlooked. Other idea might be to keep some locations quiet to make the competition underestimate the network expansion.

There are rumblings that the QC in Roxbury/Budd Lake is going to be a Wawa now...

That's an interesting take. That could very well be the case. Or Tesla is banking on a major future announcement of cumulative stations that could create mind-blown positive media coverage.

As of right now, the only direct competition with a "Supercharger" like station in mass is VW's Electrify America. Why would Tesla detail their future plans to give VW a path forward...

Yup and for example, there is a VW charger under contruction at the Promenade in Bridgewater area so a turf war isn't out of the question.

Any idea on when this location is going to be completed I’ve been following it for awhile now ?

I have to correct myself:

http://www.roxburynj.us/AgendaCenter/ViewFile/Agenda/_01222019-519

It looks like quick chek got their sewer permit.

2019-046 51 A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE ENDORSEMENT OF A TREATMENT WORKS APPROVAL PERMIT APPLICATION FOR THE SANITARY SEWER IMPROVEMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH QUICK CHEK CORPORATION LOCATED AT 84 ROUTE 206, FLANDERS, BLOCK 9202, LOTS 8 AND 9

Now, Tesla pulled their application to locate a SC at that location back in mid 2018, so I still don't know if they gave up or will re-apply once QC gets rolling.

Given how much incompetence I’ve seen from Tesla I would be very surprised about intentional “secret” plans. Plus Elon loves to brag, remember SC v3?

 

[DeepBlue3]

Has anyone been through here to check if its operational the past few days?

Swung by yesterday... Still non-operational and nobody working.

 

[mmccord]

Swung by an hour ago. There were two jcp&l trucks with guys working.

Thanks for posting the update. I was hoping we were just waiting for an inspection from the town or state. Guess not.
