My Tesla source from last September was correct on the other two PA locations so I am planning to get back to checking some very suspicious power company markings in the back parking lot of a hotel in New Cumberland. With the location moving from the coming soon map to the end of 2014 map and no new activity over a several month period I suspect it got delayed. With the nasty winter finally over I need to take a trip up that way.
So I did some exploration in New Cumberland today. Donauker was absolutely correct when he spotted these utility markings in a hotel parking lot:
The hotel manager confirmed that those lines were for a potential supercharger installation with six stalls. Unfortunately, the hotel would not agree to Tesla's lease terms, which according to the hotel manager consist of a nominal annual fee, and the only other benefit is increased revenue for additional hotel guests, which is of course questionable for a Supercharger site. The hotel told Tesla no thanks, perhaps you should pursue this with a nearby restaurant, which would definitely see revenue for almost every owner stopping to charge.
I looked at all of the nearby restaurants and hotels, and saw no evidence of Supercharger efforts.
I also have to say traffic and access near this exit is pretty horrible, worse even than Cranberry. Carlisle would be marginally better, and would serve I-76 and I-81.
Very interested to see what happens with this dot in 2014.
