That is my plan. That or an inventory vehicle! Crossing my fingers as I'm very excited. It should be a great way to meet the other area owners too.

Not much of a change today. There were two contractor trucks and they were working on the interior of the facility. I must admit that I've never been so excited about a showroom opening before though!
I tried to post new pics, but perhaps since I am a new member of the forums I cannot. Either that, or it doesn't like my iPhone.

Reports are they have the permits for them, but nothing has been built for them yet. They definitely have the space for them. There is also a supercharger being put in on the North side of town off I-85.
This is the existing thread about the SC on the North side.

Drove by the Tesla Store today. Lots of "progress" all the plastic that was covering the front in my previous pictures is gone.
There were many people working there, different sub-contractors.
Did not go in to chat, so not much more info - and sorry, no pics this time.

I drove by earlier today. The scaffolding appears to have come down inside and the showroom was getting cleaned up. Electricians were heading out, so I didn't get to see if they were working on just regular inside wiring or anything big to hint at superchargers or HPWCs. They are doing a great job progressing on it, so hopefully all goes according to schedule for opening later this month!

The Raleigh showroom only has only a HPWC. I doubt they will have Superchargers at the showroom in Charlotte.

This is not just a showroom, this is also the regional service center.
I have a feeling they will have 4 (just a hunch, i.e. speculation).
There is a nice large transformer on site (I think it was there already) to the left of the building, so might be enough juice there to get a few SC's going.

One could almost have a pipe dream that they would become an East Coast hub for the CPO program. They have enough space on site to park probably 60 cars. Take a few away for employees and customers, another few to have room to feed around, and there could easily be 30 Model S vehicles parked around waiting for service, charging, loaning out, or purchasing.

They put in superchargers at the new store in Atlanta (Decatur), so it isn't as if it hasn't been done.

Go to the Tesla supercharger site. I thank I counted only 7 superchargers at service centers here in the U.S. If it happens here we will all be thankfull.

Went by today and peeked in. They have pictures on the walls, furniture, computers, etc. Seems like flooring might be last area. I did see 5 MS in the back fence. They did not look brand new so not sure where they came from. They do have lifts installed in the shop. I also saw two HPWC in the bays up front. My guess is the facility should be close to opening in a couple/few weeks.

By the time I got there, they had the gate locked up, so I didn't get too close for a look. I'm guessing the MS in the side lot are for test drives. I emailed TM and the rep I got in touch with said I should be contacted by the Matthews store in a couple weeks for a test drive. Sorry to the grainy photos as I was almost on 74 when taking these with my phone.

I passed by finding what is stated above, I could make out about 6-8 Model S's on the rear lot.
One other thing I noticed has changed, is the receptionist desk (black) has what looks like a stainless steel logo on the front of it.
Kinda like my avatar!

That is hot!
The local permitting site, had them requesting an inspection for a Temp Certificate of Occupancy, which was cancelled on Monday by inspector.
I am guessing because of the weather ?!

A very plausible explanation. That and because Monday was a government holiday - trash pickup was pushed out a day too.
