Stopped by today. Construction equipment still there. Sorry didn’t read the most recent post about looking for a meter until getting home. 12 stalls up. Maybe space for one more although 13 doesn’t seem likely.

Stopped by today. They have started construction on a new store per the staff there. Didn’t see any sign the charger installation has started though.

My wife’s family used to live off this exit and we stopped at that Stewart’s frequently. Stewart’s have decent food and coffee and good ice cream for a gas station. The area is safe. I believe there is a hotel across the street and the Saratoga attractions are not that far away. Good location...

Not working yet. Seems to be powered up (SC button open charge door) but will not charge. Checked two and no go. There were pride staff there working inside but still in the construction phase. thinking this one will not open till the pride station does.

A little over a month ago I launched a project I came up with and wanted to let the Tesla community know about it. TeslaCaching is my attempt to create a fun trackable game with Tesla owners. This idea came from my wife's love of geocaching and the "trackables" they have travel from geocache...

No change. Rest stop is a ghost town again. No workers there even in the middle of a weekday. This site is going for the record for longest construction time I think!

Good news. Transformer is installed and pavement complete. Mostly fenced off but I was able to get through and tried to plug in. My charge port locked and screen said “Ready to Charge” but never started. Button on cable worked to release the lock from my charge port. Logos are not lit up yet...

Yeah the two i am most interested in lately are the Leibert Rd one outside of Hartford and this one. Both have stalled out. Leibert road has been under construction for 240 days or so according to supercharger.info. But at least they are building them and they will come eventually i am sure...

Stopped by today. No progress.

Any chance they are there to install a transformer? Or did you see one there to be installed?

Another update: strange that they have landscaped around the inverters but still no transformer. No pavement up to the chargers. Took a picture of the wires that eventually will connect to the transformer. There appears to be NO progress on the rest of this complex. So sad.

No change. Still not paved to the curb either.

Stopped by last night. No transformer. Plugged in just to check (a guy can dream right) and no luck. Fence is gone as mentioned before, ditch not filled in and weeds growing through the cracks. Sorry to say but my suspicion is it will take a while to see this one operational. Wouldn’t take much...

Stopped by yesterday. Looks like all the finishing touches are there for the superchargers (red caps on all the posts, no exposed conduit) but it is still fenced off and not paved all the way to the curb. Also no progress at the station. Grass is actually growing in the cracks in the pavement...
