It may be be fine now, but when the Supercharger starts getting busier it'll cause problems, and it does cause problems at Superchargers near me already. The Superchargers are designed for road trips, not daily use.
Yes, East Greenwich RI, but it was postponed because of the snow storm last night.
Uh...not really. Superchargers were "designed" to charge depleted batteries very quickly. And like I said, no harm, no foul. The poster indicated there was rarely ANYone at this particular supercharger. Someday this might be a problem at this location. Until then...:smile:
I'm still confused by temporary. Why wouldn't they make it permanent especially if it's going to be at a store?
Probably for a quick installation to serve an immediate need. There may not be room or landowner agreement for a permanent installation.
Probably because they want to be able to say that the east coast corridor is completely open. That way, they can have it open while they finalize the site for Woodbridge, VA, which will be the permanent location in northern Virginia.
It is concerning that it will be a small temporary location, but then again, Miami to Boston travel will be 100% available for 60 and 85 owners.
But to me temporary means that it'll only be there for a short while. Are they really going to pour concrete and then rip it back up? Sounds like its going to be there for the foreseeable future.
From Tesla's Supercharger Page:
Elon has also, in the videos discussing them, described superchargers as removing the barrier to road-trips.
The situation Wattson described of someone "who lived [locally], and said charging there was cheaper than charging at home" doesn't exactly fit that bill.
It looks like that route is doable with a range charge on a 60. Definitely not ideal, but better than not taking the trip at all.
It doesn't seem from the SC map that they have any plans to put one between those two cities.

I'm sorry, but does there really have to be a rule specifically forbidding something for you not to do it? There's no law against leaving your shopping cart in the middle of the parking lot after unloading groceries. There no law against cutting people off on the freeway. How about a little common sense?
There may not be a problem at this moment in time at this particular Supercharger, but it sets a precedent for people to do it at other Superchargers where it is a problem. Then Tesla will have to step in with some kind of rule against it so people traveling can actually use the Superchargers without waiting an hour or two. Can we not just save them the trouble, act like responsible adults for a change, and nip this in the bud before it becomes commonplace?
For a society that argues so much about over-regulation, you seem to be doing everything in your power to make it necessary.
