It really isnt that hard of a process to retrofit. It took me 15 minutes to watch video and 25 minutes to take the trunk liner out and get into the charger area and remove the ECU and install the new one along with the bundle of wires component all purchased from same guy online. (Also removed...

Unless we see actual plans. 4 seems like Hotel like destination charging units as others have said. Will have to check it out this weekend. This location which is off the very busy hwy 62 and SouthDale shopping area is a prime location for chargers. Fun Fact. This mall was the 1st enclosed...

I just uses the one in Monticello MN and you have push the button and it releases from the Magic Dock. Then it clicks back in after completed. I noticed there is a light inside the dispenser also pointing at cable end.

Grey signs are the new normal.

Any updates on this SC. Anyone in area drive by the site in HyVee parking lot.

My father new him My father knew him well. As a young kid he would take me out and show us around Laughlin. When he came back to minnesota, usually to the Steele county fair in Owatonna, he so generous, but always very down to earth.

Nice.. Fills in the gap for winter driving. Central Wisc.

Free electrons are always nice. Its alive!

No lights on still as of 1PM. :(

Drove by at 6PM. Tesla guy still there just waiting in vehicle. He thought should be completed today. Been waiting on city he said.

Today could be the day?

Maybe grey ones (most of the other new sites have grey) or the signs limiting parking. This lot is conducive to ICEing.

Stopped at Owatonna. All the center bollards were taken out! Still not operational. I guess its in Tesla’s hands now.

Looks like the Meter is running and transformer stickered. Contractor said they are done and should be any time now. Only the roll off and the Light pole's are left. He said trash should be gone soon. Getting closer.

Fence is down. Transformer is installed. Pictures from Facebook Dan Engler

Getting closer. Parking lot lights, lane stripping and utility transformer look the big things left. Contractor put cones in each spot and was taking picture even though fence is still up. Let’s hope for speedy transformer delivery from Owatonna utility.

No signs on bollards and concrete lines, but how exciting this site looks like it getting close.

Finally some progress this week.

Stopped there today and they finally got cabinets mounted and are connecting wires to cabinets. Once this is completed they should be able to install the 4 remaining dispensers. Pushing 90 days now. 🥲.

Sounds like there moving right along in Fergus. Any recent pictures?

Apologize, Eagan and St Paul also have 12 sites.

Surprisingly, Owatonna has lots of charging sites for it’s size But yes everyone is looking foward to the largest charger in the state. (Bloomington has 12 also).

Not sure WTF is going on? The 3 cabinets were removed early last week, concrete base broken up and guessing some issue we're found. This is not how to install a site. Photos from last weekend. Electrical contractor now repairing the base for 3 cabinets. Hopefully replaced and wiring yet...

Will do an update on a drive by tonight. Been a sh*t show on everything but the electrical contractor that had been held up.

Electrician's are installing the dispenser's. 8 of them are completed to date. 4 more to go.

lots of good progress in Owatonna finally. Bases for all cabinets are in as well as 12 sites.

The bases area all finally in and the site is getting closer to the electrical work. Will have a pictures of install soon.

Surprise for the Metro Area. Sales are thru the roof in the Phoenix Metro area.

I confirmed with Tyler the owner of Culver's the site host for Owatonna SC. 12 dispensers only. Not 14 as originally thought. Construction is behind schedule but he said they are catching up. No additional dispenser for there property that he knows of? He said they approached him almost 1.5...

OEM Manufacturer. Very tall switchgear. 2 packages also. Can't wait for them to break them open for conformation.

A electrical co crew was working on the site last week. They have installed 8/12 of the charger bases. Also, I took a photo of the PO for the 2 additional dispensers or maybe inverters. Thinking Level 1/2 or possibly DCFC.

Mind blowing. Some one ask a city employee. Have finals been given. If so its up too Tesla.

Activity today. The site was torn up and all the bases were removed. Not sure what the hell happened. But they were excavating the area today Multiple employees on site.

No activity all last week. Also, no additional digging so far for the 2 additional boxes that arrived on site last week.

That is what I originally thought. But would be the 1st ones in midwest. Didn't think they would continue the pilot. Will see in the coming weeks.

Looks like all the 12 charger bases are now installed. Also, found some more boxes that are interesting. (referencing CCS1 adapters?). Upper right hand corner of photo.

Woohoo! Great news probably will be the same price as the rest in twin cities.

A media photo from there site. The Customer on label say's Tesla. 🤔

Owatonna SC update. 9 of the 12 bases are in. 2 Pallets arrived today. Curious what was in them in. After deciphering the tags. Thinking they are 2 DCFC from Lincoln Electric. I would think there is 2 dispensers per box. But maybe just 1 each. (Permit showed 14 chargers. Probably CCS1...

I stopped there as well around 2:30 Pm and same story. I can here them running. But dont show up in car, also the meter is still on 0000000. Can't be long though.

This has been the strangest charger activation. Hopefully they are working soon. Who's going to get a free charge.

Northern Minnesota getting more love. It cabin time and need to pull those toys. Can you say S,3,Y, X, and Cybertruck. Will open up all the cities in this lakes region plus another spot along I94

Construction is taking shape. Main electrical to site and trenches are underway.

Additional info on Owatonna. Stopped for some ice cream(custard at Culver's). The center lines for chargers are all marked as well as handicap spot and placement of the V3 cabinets.

They did Eagan site as well.

I did a drive by and stop yesterday. Saw some interesting info. Sounds like the dispensers are in operation with noises coming out of one or more of them, looked like lights on at top(will have to stop by at night). But oddly the electrical meter is moving. initially thought maybe soak testing...

Now that the year is half over. Where is discussion going for 3rd and 4th qtr headed for MN-IA-WI-SD/ND. Are we finally getting south metro or Iron range in MN. Northern W or UP of MI. Dakota since the buildout of Montana. Lastly, the tesla future supercharger site will be unveiled soon.

Just a guess, but 3 boxes of units at 4 each for 12 total dispenser's.

Boom! New player in the Construction game. Never seen them work in MN. I have to think co's. have to be excited to get a Tesla constructuction bid. Not the new drop in sites this time...... Interesting to see the actual plans for the site.
