Anyone have any updates on this Supercharger?
The SuperKids next door is in Summit, which always seems to have no one there. Could be a spot for it.
Yinn, what's the best way to find out where they might be building it? Go into the town hall and ask? If so what's the best question to ask the building dept.? Thanks.Some parents might not appreciate a bunch of strangers in the parking lot of their kids daycare though...

I haven't heard anything. I haven't popped into town hall either for any updates either. Does anyone know of another name they'd file the permit with besides "Tesla"?
I doubt this one will actually get built.
My reasons
- Tesla’s usually has a desire to be right off a highway. There’s not any readily available spots right off the highway for it. Maybe the Park and Ride where 78 and 24 intersects.
Which brings me to..
- There’s not a lot of shopping/food area if they placed it in the park and ride, that’s all that’s there. There’s the summit train station but it’s a good ways off the highway. The ShopRite area of 124/24 seems like a good area, but that’s I think that’s not summit anymore but Millburn.
- There arent any of Tesla’s partners in summit. (Ruby Tuesday, Quick Check, Wawa, etc)
If anyone else has it figured out, I’d like to hear it. I think the surrounding areas - Short Hills/Millburn would be a better option.
-The best site would be in the Kings Parking Lot in Short Hills. The lot is huge, even during holidays food shopping. It is bordered on its north side by fencing and heavy shrubbery which would be a good area for the Supercharger as it would not hinder regular shoppers. Best of all, it is adjacent to Rt. 24 with easy access to the east, Interstate 78 (NYC) and the West (Morris County and Pennsylvania). Food and varied shopping facilities are close by which allows the driver to perform other tasks while the Tesla is powering up. I sent a proposal to Tesla months ago including a Google aerial map. Never received a response. Best guess is that until a few more quarters of financial success have passed, Tesla will not even consider expending the funds to install more NJ Superchargers.
I would be interested in learning of the reaction of other TMC members to this proposal.
The superchargers at Woodbridge and Menlo Park mall are physically closer than that ( I estimate 1-2 miles). Short Hills or Springfield make perfect sense as an alternative, just like the Newark Supercharger is landing in Kearney instead. Having any supercharger near the intersection of 24 and 78 is a smart move in my opinion.
