Supercharger - Laurel, MD

Is that the long-awaited transformer?

We are looking for the transformer to be placed on this pad outside the garage.

 

[Syd]

No that is the 480v Distribution cabinet.

In the next picture, it shows the empty pad for the transformer.

 

[iplugin]

I see.

So Bethesda I guess is still on track for decommissioning on June 30th, but Laurel looks unlikely to be up by then.

Sealed pavement between the stalls, but no lines painted yet and no transformer. Workers working on the supercharger fence, on Sunday late afternoon, apparently serious about finishing this job.

And the parking lines are on. The last spot is a bit odd with the sealant, also currently too narrow.

Maybe it's reserved for Model 3s only?

 

[Jeff Hudson]

Could any of the photo takers take a few additional photos indicating how tight our Tesla's will have to maneuver to get in and out of these spaces?

Looks like the extremely narrow spot has to be reported to Tesla. The construction crew doesn't seem to have any clue on how wide it should be for Model S/X.

I'll bet the last spot is meant to take up both spaces and they just need to do a better job erasing the older line.

Maybe we should let the contractors do their job. Until the station is opened, the contractor and Tesla will review the work that's been done. Let's not cause a situation that delays the opening because the spaces are not the correct width.

We certainly don't want to delay the opening of this station. I'm hoping they'll repaint the adjacent spot into a motorcycle parking space.

What is it with this area and Supercharger parking lines? This ain't rocket science, people!

Well, painting a line correctly isn't rocket science obviously. Too bad the contractor barely figure it out, I bet an elementary kid would notice the problem immediately and do a better job on painting the damn line!

Stopped by at 1PM today, a couple of hours ago. No transformer, no workers, just crickets.

No pix cuz, well, nothing was really different than in those previously posted.

Does anybody have the permit number for this installation? Sometimes job status and passed/failed inspections can be found online.

This is permitted in the City of Laurel and they do not have permit info online.

I'm betting the "lease" or whatever expires on the Bethesda location tomorrow and Tesla is out regardless of Laurel.

It would appear that June 30 is a date set in stone from my interpretation of this notice.

So first the Newark, DE Supercharger, arguably the most critical on the East coast, is out for multiple days, with no action on Tesla's part to mitigate the situation (generator, staff, signage, etc). Then Bethesda gets decommissioned before Laurel is up and running. And I guess we're supposed to be happy that these two very bad things didn't happen at the exact same time? Wow. Not feeling very loved here in the East this month. But at least I've gotten my money's worth out of my CHAdeMO adapter recently.
