A Kowloon is coming to this location as well. https://www.wmur.com/article/kowloon-new-restaurant-seabrook-new-hampshire/60459768 Looks to be right next to the chargers. The casino is also expanding hours next week which means bathroom access is expanded :) Thursday, Friday and Saturday -...

How is this still such a *sugar* show in late 2023?

The burger king has been closed for almost a year and there is zero progress with the site. Since we are now headed into fall I doubt this happens any time soon.

I’m local, will drive by this week sometime. As of a couple weeks ago there was no movement, BK sign and building were still standing.

Wow, thats pretty interesting. They are also on 95 right nesr Newark.

I’m here charging now. Both of the broken stalls are now fixed and the broken ones are actually in a box behind the transformer pad. The transformer is a 1,000kVA which is awesome because some of the original V3 sites I visited only had 750kVA transformers.

Transformer has been installed. Looks like final site prep is underway. The last two stalls are still broken (unclear if they were vandalized or got damaged by a vehicle).

Did you see a transformer? Thats usually the big delay.

Pedastals installed. Still don’t see a transformer.

Chargepoint has a pretty comprehensive solution for apartments and condos. https://www.chargepoint.com/drivers/apartments-and-condos I think the reliability of their chargers is getting better these days but had some issues early on.

Several other remote sites have Starlink now. Surpsied they have not added it to jackman yet. They could also sell a connection to ChargePoint so their chargers also have connectivity.

Its a shame Tesla does not have a Superchager in Lewiston/Auburn yet. I think the region gets so overlooked because its still 2 cities even though its really just one area of ~60,000 people. I’ve seen some of the other chargers they put in under this program and they are underwelming to say...

The cooling system that couldn’t be shared previously seems to be part of a new patent that was published recently. https://appft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-adv.html&r=1&p=1&f=G&l=50&d=PG01&S1=tesla.AANM.&OS=AANM/tesla&RS=AANM/tesla

I used to live at the Avalon Bay across the street. This is going to be great for a lot of the apartment dwellers in the area. I was at the mall at least once a week for something.

2018 LR3 at 12%. I can get the full 250 usually for a few moments before significant tapering If ambient is 70+ F and I’m preconditioned. I can’t wait for my Cybertruck, hopefully the curve is a lot better on that.

Charlton Eastbound is open as well. Charged there last night and got close to the full 250. Love these locations, so much better than getting off at Auburn or elsewhere in CT.

Wow that was sneaky. Anyone have photos of this one??

Agree 100%. Charlton will be great.

Awesome, was totally wondering about eastbound... funny the rest stops are pretty far from each other.

Damn, I’ve been waiting for this one forever. It’s ideally located for my road trips and I used to stop there all the time with my ICE car. Auburn MA and Manchester CT are both in mall areas where you have to get off the highway.

Same! That used to be my stopping point when I had my ICE car.

I have a set and told the mobile wheel repair guy to use them when he came to fix some curb rash. I had one tire rotation at 12.5k at a normal tire shop and forgot to mention it to them but they were really high volume and familiar with Tesla. On Model 3 they can take the aero caps off and...

Finally - Another option if I don’t want a 5 guys burger at the Manchester SuC. CT is great.

One each in Maine, NH and Vermont is a must. 2 more in Mass would be nice. My vote would be Manchester, Portland and Burlington.

Nice!!!

Will try and get more info to confirm. Wawa only has Tesla chargers as far as I know.

For these connivence stores it has got to be a huge percentage of people who stop to charge come in and buy something but I would love to see a study on it. Virginia has a _ton_ of condos and renters as well with no access to charging at home. It _may_ become commonplace to just supercharge...

Yah please do. Ill be down there to scope it out next week and ask around as well. I started a thread anyway, I’ve only seen Wawa host Tesla chargers so pretty sure it would be them.

Mentioned in an article about the Vienna VA Wawa. Wawa Opens Vienna Location With Tesla Electic Chargers

This is so awesome. Just need to have a sign “No gas here!”. This article mentions Sterling Wawa will also be getting charging. Wawa Opens Vienna Location With Tesla Electic Chargers @Reddy Kilowatt - Any scoop here?

I know exactly where it is now based on your video Kacey thanks for another review!

I’m guessing this location would be perfect for a Starlink antenna. Not only could it establish connectivity for Tesla but they could also let the cars connect to it.

Some states are also using part or all of their money to install more DCFCs anyway beyond what EA is doing. An example is Maine: About Electric Vehicle Initiatives The stations they have been installing are ChargePoint with CCS and Chademo supported. Sometimes they are piggybacking off Tesla...

Yah I worry what the investment will be like when the settlement money dries up. It doesn’t sound like they are interested in making it sustainable and profitable.

They still need grid tie with solar so all of the infrastructure costs that Reddy mentioned are the same except they can do some peak shaving once the site is running. Solar with batteries to do peak shaving is quite expensive still. The Las Vegas High Roller site reportedly cost about 1...

Given that this site already got some press as the first “gas station” without gas (although this is the larger wawa store concept) I imagine that they want to do some sort of grand opening involving the chargers as well to get a little more press.

This location is really nice as the Chesapeake House and Maryland House (i95 rest stops) also both have chargers but they are V2.

Ha, I haven’t escaped any issues in Reston even though we are underground. Randomly lost power followed by an excavation of an entire lawn overnight. I guess drainage is a big problem now with all the rain from the last several years...

Would buy in a second. Loved my chevy tracker.

That would be at the cabs though right. Those are probably outside (can’t see in the images).

This is where I thought supercaps made sense too but I guess Elon keeps saying they won’t use them. They also make sense to provide power for the initial roll up a grade with an 80,000 pound load.

Yah regen ‘not working’ in current Teslas just means the battery isn’t warmed up enough to accept the charge, however it has nothing to do with the motors being able to slow the vehicle down by acting as a generator. So if you want regen all the time with Semi even when the battery is full or...

Can we merge the threads.

Wow, how did we all miss it??

Nice! Must be the Chantilly location on the Tesla map. Looks like 8 V3’s (2 cabs)?

Very annoying they chose to tuck this in such a crappy location in Reston...

Sounds like we need some Tesla Supercharger signs plastered all over that place.

While the location is certainly less than ideal (as are most in NoVa), this is exciting none the less. Many of my complaints about SC access in NoVa are fixed with Reston+Ashburn V3 and the Urban in Leesburg and Arlington. Previously going all the way to Springfield was a huge bummer. Other...

Whats the latest here? Anyone able to sneak in to see progress?

Yah that looks like the pretty standard EA 4 stall site.
