Biff: Bill was at the Drive Change in Virginia event with us...he was one of the guys who asked a lot of good questions and had a lot of good info/intel!!

It's been such a whirlwind at work, home, and stock market that I haven't had a chance to post a delivery story. Not even an official delivery photo. I gave up a chance to get an iPhone 5s on Friday to get my car (totally the right call). Soon enough.

Maybe I missed this but why is the possible location of the supercharger so secretive?

Maybe I missed this but why is the possible location of the supercharger so secretive?

I think it is due to the source of the information not being comfortable releasing it publicly. I would also be very interested in knowing specifically where the "proposed" VA SC site is though.

I've PM'd techmaven for more details

 

[jthompson]

nrcooled: Correct. The source of the information (who probably should not have "leaked" it) does not want the word to get out.

loganss: In about a week or two if construction moves forward as it should, it will be apparent what is being built there. 'til then, hang in there.

Swung by the site today. The no-parking tape has been removed. There's a trailer and some material for a temporary construction fence. Not enough to be definitive, but again, looks like some progress.

Thanks, Bill - you make an excellent scout!

Many thanks, guys. I'm in Raleigh and make frequent DC trips so I desperately need this supercharger (so I can stop the crazy of the RDU-DCA flights)! Realize that the specific location is secret but is it in area with restaurants, etc?

 

[jthompson]

ggbjr: For sure! :smile:

Hmm... looks like Glenn Allen to me... I suspect that if this is the site that I think there is a Chili's, Panera, and a few others... and just off of 95 and 295...

Wow tjimtjim -- that's a professional grade tease. Nice work!

 

[techmaven]

Angelia and I will be there!

 

[EVTECH]

Have they announced when the ribbon cutting ceremony will be already?

I believe Tesla sends out email announcements 1 week prior.
