    Supercharger - West Nyack, NY

    I live here and I can tell you that the wait is probably with O&R. They have good people there and are seemingly progressive in adopting technology (smart meters, solar support, etc), but they do seem to be a little less than perfectly organized and coordinated. I had admin issues from 2006 with...

    Supercharger - Roscoe, NY

    They’ll be getting some business from me tomorrow that’s certain! This is great news for winter-time travel on 17. Whenever it’s warmish you can make the run to Binghamton no worries, but I’ve spent more than a few winter nights nursing electrons along the Delaware for the past six years, so...

    4 year old Model S: what does the future hold?

    I took delivery in January of 2013 as well (also Green like yours Zarwin), and i'm up to 106,000 miles with no real issues after a shaky start (two weeks of in and out of repair, turned out to be a battery connector issue from the factory - #earlymodel). Funny though i just popped a 12volt...

    Supercharger - Victor, NY

    I just saw the same thing and came here to confirm it - nothing on the Tesla official site, and not showing on the nav system yet, so supercharge.info must know something we don't. Can anyone local swing by and plug in? Otherwise i'll be pulling in in August for college soccer pre-season and can...

    Supercharger - Victor, NY

    Fantastic pics, thanks! Excited that that is the site, though also worried about ICEing - though I've high hopes that some simple steps (traffic cones) coupled with the innate Upstate NY manners will keep at lease some of the spaces free. It's surprising that they picked this area when there...

    Supercharger - Victor, NY

    Not a great photo (I was rushed) but I think the stations will be in the median and will be serving both sides of the parking island. It's a small area and so to get 8 stations in that's the only way to fit them.

    Supercharger - Victor, NY

    It's hard to tell but after circling most of the Mall this is the only active parking area construction, so it's a safe bet I think. Early days clearly, but using the Binghamton build-out as a model, we may be a little over a month away from this being operational (I understand that the timing...

    Random Model S sightings

    I live in Rockland County, NY (across from Westchester County on the unfashionable side of the Hudson River ;-) and got my car in December of 2012. The increase in Tesla's in the NYC area really took off in 2014, but in upstate Central NY - where we have family and two kids attending college -...

    Thanks for posting that - i love that the issue of ICE'ing came up at a town planning board meeting! Awareness is the first step in combating the scourge.

    Supercharger - Victor, NY

    The silence is eeerie ..... I'm heading up there this weekend, so I'll swing by the Eastview Mall to see what there is to see.

    Supercharger - Victor, NY

    Does anyone have an update on the progress? Going by past SC builds it should be nearing completion.

    Supercharger - Victor, NY

    I'm up in Rochester quite a bit (my son plays soccer at UofR), and i've used the Tesla HPWC at RIT many times - its definitely faster than the Level 2 chargers at the car dealerships; it'll give you 80amps (~42 miles per hour), BUT be sure to treat the cord right. I've noticed during the summer...

    Supercharger - Binghamton, NY

    Holy Cow that was fast! How fast? Let's see if we can put a number on it - the best info I can offer is: 1. 10/2 i heard from a Tesla rep that "We are getting much closer now; only awaiting one additional permit and hope to start construction late next week. Keep your eyes peeled and you’ll...

    Help Get A Supercharger in Binghamton, NY – Minimal Action Requested

    THE SPOT is it! Drove by on Sunday and here's some pics - i haven't had this confirmed yet from my contact at Tesla, but here's some pics of the work being done in the The Spot's parking lot - looks like an 8-space dig. Assuming 4-6 weeks until powerup, we can all look forward to refilling in...
