Supercharger unveiling event

[Kipernicus]

Did he mention anything about battery storage? Or will it just suck 100kW off the grid?

So, I think the big "T" is going to be the beacon in the night to guide us S drivers to the charging designation.

Charge up at the giant suppository.

New info for me tonight was the chargers in Gilroy and LA. Are they up yet? Someone go scout them out!

 

[Tommy]

This is big guys, we just witnessed the changing of the guard.

Anyone there notice the map location for east coast of Florida? Looked like it could be Cocoa, especially since we have the Florida Solar Energy Center right near I95. Or could have been a slightly off Daytona dot...

That was a super short event. Reload the page to watch the event again.

Hope we get an Orlando dot... The Eastern FL one looks like Melbourne or Palm Bay, if accurate. Is Western FL Sarasota Nigel/Larry?

Looks like White River Junction and near New London for the Boston area within 2 years. That's barely enough, but OK. Maine seems a bit lost, but then, it's kind of in the corner so people don't notice it all that much. :wink:

The FL stations look like Jacksonville, Melbourne/Cape Canaveral, south of Sarasota (Port Charlotte?), Tallahassee and Pensacola. That also makes sens when you look at the interstate distances between them. Orlando has such a high density of charge stations I'd question whether a supercharger was necessary there and most people spend more than 30 minutes when they stop in Orlando. The thinking is probably the same for Miami, you're either going to it or away from it, it's not really somewhere you drive through/past.

Definitely looks like all those snowbirds can drive down here in their Model Ss now.

Hi David,

I'm guessing the Western dot is Naples just before you get on Alligator Alley. A potential location might be exit #101 off of I-75. There's a Cracker Barrel there, but they may not have enough parking spaces to spare. There's also a Burger King there that probably does have space.
