Any update on this one. Morgantown to Wythville is out of reach without a painfully slow hour or two stop in Flatwoods at tge Days Inn.

Supercharger - Weston, WV
- Thread starter MogWV
- Start date
Just detour to Charleston and charge for 10-15 minutes and you only spend 45 minutes longer than a direct Sutton to Beckley drive. That seems 0:15 hrs to 1:15 hrs quicker than sitting on a slow charger in Flatwoods for 1-2 hrs.
Drove up into the mountains yesterday and stopped by this site for Dino juice and a couple of pics.
Progress is being made but still probably 6-8 weeks until it opens. Probably 3 more weeks of construction plus whatever delays from getting power turned on and commissioned by Tesla.
The 4 Supercharger cabinets & the power distribution cabinets are in place.
Conduit for the stalls but no concrete bases yet.
7 back-in stalls + 1 pull-in next to the Sheetz sign.
Overview of the site.
This is a bit of tight squeeze to get this built in this existing location. It is right by US Highway 33 / 48 / 219 and easily visible though.

Notice the auto transformers (small gray boxes) are already in. At least it won't be held up for them!
I stopped by the Weston Sheetz today and took some photos. I also chatted with a couple guys who looked like they were wrapping up a day's work. One guy said that they've had several folks stop by and ask about the construction. And no - they wouldn't give out any information about completion. They did say it all depends on Tesla.

In the past, Tesla has installed a temporary supercharging pallet nearby. Salem, VA is a good example. They put a pallet at a Sheetz a few miles away while the primary location was under construction. It will be interesting to see what they do in this case.

Supercharger - Sutton, WV
Bad timing. The Tesla map is showing Sutton opening in Q4. I just found out the new Supercharger shown as "Sutton" on the Tesla charging page is under construction at the Little General convenience store at the Flatwoods exit, a few miles south of Sutton. I'll try to post a new forum...

The first entrance is taped off and a dump truck and back hoe are parked in front of the chargers. The rear entrance is open but appears to be for construction use only.
