Playground officially converted to construction site

No changes since last update

Looks unchanged from 8/27 - thanks for checking. I presume the holdup at this site is the utility bringing in power, but there could be other issues too. Last check there was no sign of a new pole which is expected to be placed somewhere near the enclosed dumpster at the end of the now paved...

Posts up and supercharger equipment placed in pads. Not sure if the wiring has been done. Maybe. Still needed is a transformer and meter, and some dressing on the pole. Also site cleanup and striping. No Magic Docs here.

Tesla supercharger equipment on-site. No other construction equipment yet. That said, some adult nearby got VERY creative and took advantage of the extra fencing on-site and constructed a playground. It was very busy with kids playing while I was there. Did not take a picture focusing on...

Swung by a couple of days ago - no obvious signs of any site markings yet. I checked the perimeter of the parking lot along Rt 1.

Just looking at your second photo and noticed a bollard in the asphalt near where the superchargers will begin placement. Not sure why that's there. Regardless, if there is anyone close to the site that might be willing to swing by every few weeks to see if the supercharger work has begun it...

Updated photos courtesy of David Connaughton who stopped by to charge on the way through. Not a lot of progress yet. Only thing I can think of for the work adjacent to the existing v2 post is widening the space to make it an ADA compliant spot, perhaps a requirement for all site updates that...

Hoping for an opportunity to be in a position to ask someone in the near future, but it's just as likely that information might not be something they would share. On a related note, Neon sold off the Worcester, MA site with all granted permits earlier this year they had planned to develop.

So, after a long wait, Tesla reappeared before the Dedham Planning Board this evening, 9/13/23. It was shared that the property owner has performed a number of site improvements to address the concerns shared by the Planning Board at the February meeting. It seems that hurdle has been cleared...

Thanks for the corrected link.

Would anyone in the area or passing by mind checking out current site status and perhaps sharing some photos? Interested to learn if there is a new transformer in place yet, meter in place and if so is it energized? If any of that is missing, are there any trenches between nearby poles and...

No changes at the site today

Finally had a chance to swing by to see … well, nothing really. 🤷‍♂️

Coming along nicely

Transformer and meter installed. Meter is NOT live yet. Magic Dock in all 12 stalls. Trash and recycle on-site and L2 adjacent. Great job! This should Open soon

Southington update - still waiting for a transformer. And some work needed on the switchgear too.

Thanks for relaying the pictures. Not sure why that end stall is blocked off with some possible digging adjacent to it unless they changed where the secondaries will be coming across the driveway to that end. Looking at the site plan it looks like it was supposed to come across near the...

thanks for the additional info.

Interesting - did they say what form of upgrades by chance (Magic Dock comes immediately to mind, but you just ruled that out). I know the Tesla Supercharger maintenance team does regular preventive maintenance at sites, including proactive charging cable replacement after a certain number of...

Welcome back!

Two more photos from today courtesy of @JER_1 showing the site cleaned up, an empty spool suggesting wiring may be complete and an empty transformer pad waiting for some green shade.

Update from today, again courtesy of @JER_1. I believe the the word is there is about another week worth of work there to complete the site. Then it will be in the hands of the utility to install the transformer, and then for Tesla to complete the commissioning. Transformer installation can...

This appears to be the first new install with magic doc. All others have been retrofits.

Stopped by today on the way back from Mt Washington. One stall iced.

I stopped by today on my way back from Mt Washington. There seemed to be a few paint markings on the grass leading from the transformer to the site of the expansion. Not much - but maybe an indication it’s time will come “soon”.

The mobile app shows them online now.

Here are a few site photos. No meter but no try supercharger and c-store transients in, missing the switchgear/site controller. Primaries appear connected. Busy site - lots of work underway.

Thanks for the photos. I was actually planning to pay this site a visit tomorrow morning on my way by to see if there was any sign of supercharger construction, but admit I didn't expect to find anything quite yet. Oh, and looking at the photos - that's not a pre-fab installation. Prefab...

Thanks. It's possible that the current economic conditions have resulted in a scaling back (or possibly a slowdown) of some of the regional c-store expansions that have been in the works for the past few years. Rhode Island based Neon Marketplace appears to have slowed their buildout from...

It's unclear when//how Tesla selects to promote a location as "coming soon" on their findus map these days. It used to be a good indicator as to where they were looking and committed to site builds. These days, most work is done without ever showing up on the findus page as coming soon, and...

Site plan now available. The plans confirm a 12 stall traditional build (vs. pre-fab) installation with an option to use v3 or v4 charging posts.

Interesting - ahead of schedule it seems. Thanks!

Site update courtesy of @JER_1 yesterday.

Fences are down, site cleaned up a bit and equipment consolidated. Still no sign of the new pole or transformer. It's possible the crew is working down in Foxborough and will return at some point when the time is right to finish up. Interesting that there are no signs on the bollards -...

Congratulations on #2600 @PLUS EV ! And a shared first as well.

Looks like the site is waiting for concrete. Also it looks like the reason for the construction delays can likely be confirmed as a gas line going through the site given what’s coming up out of the ground near the transformer pad and along the side of the supercharger post trench.

Tesla is planning to install a 12-stall supercharger at the Whalley Commons shopping plaza with the address 1475 Whalley Ave, New Haven, CT 06515. The application for building permit B-23-01614 was just submitted this past week. I'm still working to get more details on the number of stalls and...

I've attended this event and there were lots of people coming through with questions and interest in the cars and owners experiences. I'll put in a plug for National Drive Electric Week events in general - if Portland Maine is a bit far for you consider attending an event closer to home. There...

This one is planned for a new Common Man Roadside c-store being built at the site of a former Burger King in Portsmouth. Not sure what the status of the project is - ie. not sure if they have broken ground (on the c-store) yet. The Epsom, NH coming soon pin is also associated with a Common...

Thornton is live!

Temp closure has been expected and almost certainly means work to replace the transformer has begun (required to supply more power for the expanded site). Depending on how much time the utility takes to complete their work and any inspections the site could be down for days to possibly weeks...

I have a conference this week in Las Vegas. Also happened to be the first time in 84 years a hurricane hit Southern California with its effect’s reaching up this way. Rain in Vegas? 😳 Spent the day in a Hertz model Y exploring the local electrons. I had planned to head southwest to...

A few updated site photos from today.

Courtesy of @JER_1 today, fences are up, but no other equipment onsite yet.

Tesla came before the planning board last night. There were a few questions about lighting and handling water runoff from the solar canopy. The project was approved after a brief presentation and Q&A.

Electrical permit EP-23-210 has been issued. "We are installing 3 pre manufactured Tesla charging units with each having 1 supercharger cabinet, 1 600 ampservice disconnect, and 4 charge posts. 2. Install 1 pad mount utility transformer."

Actually, the Hackensack, NJ location now appears to be open (per the Tesla mobile app)

Not an issue - thanks for reporting the status. If anyone else is in the area and would like to share a site photo that would be great. If it's done, it's possible it is still awaiting a transformer or something else blocking it from being commissioned by Tesla.

Hi - did you by chance get any photos of the site? I assume you are referring to supercharge.info in your comment - the site is updated based upon people visiting locations and reporting their findings such as yours.
