Supercharger - Sagamore Beach, MA

[MassX1317]

I called the town to check on the status of the permit.

The inspector said he was there last week and a few things had to be addressed before the permit would be issued. He said to call back next week if I want to check again.

Just drove by the spot. It's still cordoned off but everything seems to be ready. I think it will be up very soon pending final sign off.

Come on Tesla - bring this site online today or tomorrow as I'd really like to have this option available for my first long distance drive.

Am I seeing things, or was the black chain link fence moved CLOSER to the SuperCharger locations?
it appears there is even less room to navigate into the spaces than there was before.

turning on the power is up to the inspector and NStar at this point, Tesla has completed all of the site work.

Looks like it had rained recently and that there is a reflection of the fence. Unless you're talking about something else.

It's just a distortion from camera lens. Fence has not moved closer.

Just optic illusion

I guess the reporter couldn't find a Tesla owner to ask, so she asked the sales manager of the Nissan dealership if he thought the supercharger would be popular with Tesla owners? Or was it just a way to get the local Nissan dealership mentioned in the article, since they advertise in the newspaper and Tesla doesn't.

The comment that the "station will stand as a testament to the economic benefits of replacing the rotary with what is now known as the Sagamore flyover" is even dumber. It's like people couldn't get there in the "old days" when we had a rotary there.

I love rotaries. Classic Massachusetts defensive driving in action! I wish they never replaced the Drum Hill rotary in Chelmsford. It always takes me longer to get through the new "improved" intersection there then in the old days.

So...per the Article....

Tesla Supercharger because flyover. Nissan. Thanks.

Saw the charger from the road as I was speeding by today coming home from P-town, didn't bother stopping. Was able to charge at the Cape Colony Inn during my stay in P-town, albeit only for 12 hrs/day (110v. outlets were on a timer) and the Tesla dropped the amperage (because it sensed bad wiring) to 9, thus I was only able to get 2 miles/hr charge. It worked for me though as P-town is a pedestrian city. Was feeling a little nervous because of the rain and lower temps so I decided to charge in Hanover at the (free) ChargePoint in the mall. Started at 21 miles/hr and slowly dropped to 18 miles/hr over an hour charge - lame. I had read somewhere that ChargePoint and other J-1772 charging companies were asked by Tesla or another interested party to increase the amperage of the chargers to help out Tesla drivers. I would think this would be a good proposition for any business that has J-1772 chargers as the more traffic using the charger the more peripheral business would be generated.

Couldn't agree with you more. They should have improved the rotary without replacing it. I avoid it as much as possible

This site has been finished for 2 weeks now, at least apparently. What's the deal?

 

[skboston]

Most likely waiting on final permit from the town and maybe NSTAR to turn the switch on, the SC has been completed for over 2 weeks now. I bet Auburn, MA one will open before Sagamore if nothing changes over the next few days.

The inspector was there two weeks ago. He told me there were a few things to clear up before it would open. Sounded inspection/NStar related. Pretty sure everything is completed.

 

[RDoc]

I was there a couple of hours ago and it's still taped off.

 

[skboston]

I wonder what takes so long to open it up now. Could it be the inspector purposely delaying the final permit?
