Wait, color me ignorant - why would Tesla install a full fledged SC that would only work for half a year? It makes no sense to shut down Woodbridge - it's a vital link for anyone going south or visiting DC from points south.

Opening weekend for Spiderman 2, which if you notice the rest of the lot was relatively ok... It was just the area around and near the theater. So if a Marvel movie didn't cause ICEing then I would think that the only thing "worse" is going to be shopping holidays, so we will see.
I should clarify - the Bethesda Supercharger is a "mobile" version with 2 nozzles. My feeling is that such a version would be useful at the Rockville Service Center (or all service centers) for quick juicing up for a service center visit or new vehicle delivery as well as diagnostics. A proper 6-10 nozzle Supercharger is still necessary somewhere else in the DC metro area. My feeling is either Germantown-ish area for I-270 or Laurel/Elkridge for I-95 as part of a 2015 build out.
Typically they do ribbon cuttings well after the location has been operational. Sometimes up to two weeks afterwards.
Agreed! But both owners should get nods. Tesla owners tend to fanatics, but never elitists!
Has Tesla still been holding ribbon cutting ceremonies? I haven't heard of one in awhile. It's a bit "old hat" at this point.
Tried it out today. First visit to a supercharger. Very cool; arrived with 160ish miles of range, so I couldn't do a real performance rest, but I still saw 209 mph for a couple of minutes.
There's a Bobby's Burger Palace right near by, which is awesome. The car was full before we finished lunch.
Even at 217 miles we were still seeing 177 mph.

I charged there friday night and went with about 85 miles left in my battery. I believe I got close to 390 mph charge.. I can't remember the exact number. This was on friday night and I was the only car. Forgot to take a picture though!
Switch to display energy rather than distance and it will show your charge rate in kW. Or multiply volts*amps...
Popped into the new Woodbridge SC...two other Teslas there. No ICE vehicles in sight! Nice location - can't wait for the grand opening. We need to have more Teslas there than for the 100th SC opening!
