PokerBroker · Nov 16, 2013

Dropped by the new location at Easton in the old Puma store location. Power tools were humming inside and I peeked through the keyhole to confirm the the presence of Tesla property.

Hah! Nice detective work!

Please keep us posted so everyone can attend the grand opening!

Awesome!! This is an excellent location, right near the indoor area/movie theater. Plenty of visibility and foot traffic.

Great news! It will be great to have a local store to visit when I feel the need to drool over a Model S!

Being from the Northeast, I'm jealous :crying: Considering a trip to Columbus this weekend anyway for the hell of it

Cincinnati is scheduled to open next week as well.

I will be in attendance on the day of the grand opening. Glad they picked the old Puma location. Excellent amount of visibility and foot traffic. This store will go nicely with the two car chargers they have in one of their parking garages. I often see Model Ses and Roadsters charging there.

I imagine there will be a couple HPWC there for their test drive units.

I hunted for evidence of this in all the parking garages and couldn't find any. Would make sense.

JakeP · Dec 3, 2013

Is there a Dewey's pizza nearby? If so, it is worth the trip for that alone!

PokerBroker · Dec 4, 2013

Six HPWC now located at Easton Town Center!!! West garage, lowest level (ground) GE!!

The question is what current they are capable of, and their pilots offer; I hope the full 80 Amps... The HPWC ships with the dip switches set to a 50 Amp breaker, 40 Amp charging.

Of course 80 Amps is only interesting if you have dual chargers.

Sgt Barone · Dec 4, 2013

Thanks PokerBroker! Will be checking those out this week!

dave · Dec 4, 2013

Awesome! This will let me do a round trip to Columbus without anxiety, knowing I have somewhere to charge, and now I'm thinking about making the trip to Cleveland in the Tesla with a couple hour stopover in Easton.

It's almost like getting a Supercharger!

brandonmbeard · Dec 5, 2013

I would say they (at least some of them) would be set to 80amp to charge the test drive vehicles.

Just got back from the Easton store, and it looks absolutely beautiful! They couldn't have picked a better location for maximum foot traffic and visibility. The inside of the store had about fifteen people working hard to put on the finishing touches. Inside they have a Model S, a chassis with battery, and a Roadster, along with tons of merchandise for sale. They will be opening tomorrow at 10 AM. I also checked out the six HPWC's in the West Garage on the ground level in section GE. It's so nice that Model S owners will have such a wonderful place to park.

Easton is one of the premier shopping centers in the United States and having a Tesla store makes it even better.

Here are some pictures of the store, the chargers, as well as the two Blink chargers in the East Garage on Level 2.
