You got me. I even looked at the Google map to try and see it. I didn't think to read the comments. Thanks!
Looks like they are having trouble getting area marked properly as they have submitted new Miss Utility request.
Extent of Work: LOCATE/MARK: LOC AREA OF LAST 8 PARKING SPACES OF THE CENTER PEDESTRIAN WALKWAY. THEN A 10FT PATH AT THE TOP OF THAT AREA TO THE EXISTING TRANSFORMER LOCATED AT THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE PLAZA (310FT FROM ARE TO TRANSFORMER). THEN 20FT AROUND TRANSFORMER. AREAS ARE MAKED IN WHITE PAINT HOWEVER PATH TO TRANSFORMER IS NOT MARKED AS RECENTLY PAVED. SEE ATTACHED DRAWING FOR BETTER DETAILS.

We are going on a trip in a few weeks and this spot would be so helpful. Any updates on when it might be completed?

Taken today. This is a fenced-off area on the north side which I presume is the eventual site. No evidence of construction yet.
As someone as already pointed out, the south side has much more space and less congestion, but oh well.

It looks like they might be trying to coordinate the timing of Maryland House and Chesapeake House constructions to be as close together as possible, which makes obvious sense.

Honestly, I think they're both too close to Newark to be really useful - unless Tesla is already seeing enough volume that the newly expanded Newark is getting crowded.
But I got the impression that Tesla is working through permitting in a whole bunch of places in parallel and that the work crews doing the installation and the funding/hardware aren't really limiting factors right now, so why not take them all?

Every single site is susceptible to disruption. If we only have a single site like Newark, DE that goes dark for days we have major problems. Also a single site has scaling limits in terms of space and power availability. Multiple sites in close proximity are now common in California and are needed to serve busy corridors, something that I-95 in the mid-Atlanic certainly is.
With the model 3 coming along, I have a feeling Newark, Laurel, and these two new sites will be swamped. I think Tesla being proactive and opening many new sites along MAJOR corridors like 95 is a very smart move. Having two sites this close being built out at the same time probably also saves them labor costs.

I think right now Newark is still arguably the single most critical SC on 95. But once Aberdeen and North East are open, it won't be. Which will be a good thing.

Looks like a friendly competition between VA and MD with Charlottesville just breaking ground this week. In the end, we all win!
