Texas Supercharger Locations (location speculation, discussion)

[jerry33]

Do they know for sure of are they just guesstimating the location?

The safe bet is that anything grey is just a guesstimate. Of course, it would be nice if they had a third colour for under construction.

I've heard that the next one to go up in TX will be in Corsicana...does anyone know any of the other locations that are said to be going up by 2015? I see a few more on the map here: http://www.teslamotors.com/supercharger

Do they know for sure of are they just guesstimating the location?

I went to the SC opening in Bellmead (Waco) last Tuesday.
I spoke with the Mr. Bob McNutt, President of Collin Street Bakery and one of his former Associates who is facilitating/brokering the deals between CSB and TM.
It seemed that they have a deal worked out for Corsicana CSB location.

Due to the amount of current construction and big Tesla crates sitting there, Columbus will probably come on line and be operational before the other two: Corsicana and Huntsville/Madisonville (the remaining unknown location).

The Speaker from Tesla at Bellmead said that the "triangle" of Texas would be completed before the end of Fall 2013.
They are about half way there, with two OPEN, one under construction and two unknown (fully verified) start date.

Go look at the Supercharger Map on Tesla.com

3 more stations have been added BEFORE the ribbon cutting ceremonies (Now up to 25 Locations!!!).


It takes lots of planning, consistent effort and diligence to succeed at a task.
KUDOS to Tesla for completing what they have so far.

Any more updates on status of Columbus SC?

Or confirmation of location in Huntsville/Madisonville?
Any Pics?

Or signs of activity in Corsicana?
Again, any pics?

Any more updates on status of Columbus SC?

If no one else does and I can find time, I'll go down to Columbus again one day next week.

Got to Columbus today, looks about ready, not sure if they were energized, doubt it (in co-worker's car). I want a sign for my garage spot at work!

 

[purplewalt]

Great Recon and pics.
Thanks for the update!

 

[purplewalt]

Okay, 3 (almost) done, two more to go.

Any updates for construction status in Corsicana (CSB)?

Any locations scouted/confirmed for Huntsville (or Madisonville)?

Yes, Tesla should sell these signs to owners on their web page!!

Checked out Columbus this afternoon. Looks very close to ready, but it's not operational yet.

Went by Columbus yesterday around noon. Physically all pieces appeared in place (individual chargers, cables and the power platform built to comply w/ 100 yr flood plane). Photos above are great, thanks for taking the time to snap the photos.

Work crew was on site.

The work crew shared the units' would likely be powered late this week; with a formal ribbon cutting the following week around the ~9th. Very excited!

The work crew also mentioned work underway in earnest in Huntsville.

Per post today by stephenpace on Houston thread, tentative date for Columbus Opening is Oct. 8, morning.

As another leg of the Texas Triangle is coming on-line...

Per post today by John Floyd on the Austin/San Antonio Owners Group:

"Columbus is powered up. Ribbon cutting confirmed Tuesday.

Guys said Hunstville will be at the Holiday Inn Express on 45 (next to a couple restaurants and across the highway from a Starbucks)"

That would make the Huntsville SC about 170 miles from my house; should be doable.

Energized as in you can pull up and use them? Driving SA to Houston tomorrow, that would definitely increase my MPH if I knew I could supercharge.

 

[stephenpace]

Yes, you should be able to charge tomorrow.

Well now I have no excuses for not visiting friends in Houston!

 

[gnelson]

We were giving the electrical equipment a good test in Columbus today!

 

[Cattledog]

I was there Thursday afternoon and today around 1 PM. Solo Thursday and one other white one today. Looks like an invasion! I can also confirm Huntsville, though I didn't talk location. Nice guys.
