Supercharger - Savannah, GA

[M3BlueGeorgia]

Tesla should really abandon this site and put in a new one somewhere else. My six visits her have ranged from sub-optimal to horrible. The single worst Supercharger I've ever been to on the East Coast.

Were there yesterday late afternoon. Only car charging, meaning 7 slots free.

Walked to the terminal building: restroom and then Starbucks.
Walked back and the car was ready for the long leg to Macon along I-16.

Signed the parking slip with phone number, gave it to the attendant and left.

Looks like 2 new stalls added since my last visit, seems to be working now better than before. The two new stalls are a different supercharger cabinet and charge fast, the original ones are arranged differently so might confuse folks trying to not share Superchargers and are kinda slow at 85 kW, whereas the new ones charged at the full 125 kW or so for me. Good news overall.

 

[pscarroll]

Well charged here a couple times with the new chargers, unfortunately I'm having issues with them as after starting at a good charge rate they start to wildly vacillate between 5 kW to 50 kW (this is at a low state of charge like at 40%) and I have tried both stalls on this particular supercharger cabinet, so it looks like this site is going to have problems through the holiday travel season unless Tesla fixes it.

I'm here now. 1A was charging slow enough to make me move. The next was worse, 30kw. The third, 3A, was better at 61Kw. Now I'm happy and seems like I'll get out of here timely

I have experienced the same slow charging on 1A as well, but I plugged into one of the 2 new stalls (the furthest from the entrance) and got 145kW just a couple of weeks ago.

Savannah is full today with a queue waiting. I was only able to get 52kwh. They need to repair this supercharger bad.

if you are sharing a stall 52kW would not necessarily in and of itself indicate a SC in need of repair.

I've stopped using the Savannah location. It's so unpredictable now that it's not worth the time to find out if it's working correctly.

I'll provide more detail. All the stalls were full and each only outputted between 30-50kwh max. All people arrived with low charge. I've been going to this station since my purchase in 2013. This station is in need of repair.

On Wednesday the 18th of Dec, all of the plugs were completely off line.

Heads up ... I've heard that Tesla is working on a new site north of this Savannah site, just across the state line into South Carolina. "Working on it" could just mean paperwork at this point.

If anyone is passing through this area, and you have an extra 30 minutes or so on your hands, snoop around the 2-4 southernmost I-95 exits in South Carolina (Hardeeville and Ridgeland). Or see if you can find a building permit online. I don't want to start a separate thread for it just yet -- just giving you all a heads up to look for it.

Fortunately we come into the Savannah area via I-16, so we've been able to avoid the Savannah Supercharger because of the new Metter Supercharger.

Metter has surely reduced the load on Savannah a bit, but adding another on I-95 will help a lot.

Anyone in the Savannah area, can you checkout the Parker's at Hardeeville SC?
Since Parker's opened a V3 supercharger in Metter - they would be a great candidate and this one is right off the exit near a Waffle House.

I’m hoping Parker’s will agree to host a SC at one of their new Charleston area locations as well. Have reached out to their region manager but so far have not heard back. Will post an update once I am able to speak with someone there.

Greg Parker CEO also bought a Model S and has stated he wanted Superchargers (as well as CCS) at more of their stores.

I went out of my way on my last trip just to try out the Metter V3 Supercharger. The speed of the V3 is certainly a game changer.

Ran by the Hardeeville Parker's location this evening to investigate. There are currently no signs of physical construction activity. There's plenty of potential real estate for it, but no indications.

Did you know that Savannah is the worst


supercharger. As a town it’s pretty alright

As a town it’s pretty alright

I know people from the Northeast who go to Savannah for vacation.
