I ran out to try it.... no dice for me. Maybe because I'm on 28.6? All it did was move the SXM screen up and down :(

With the upgrade to the new SiriusXM interface, I see they took away the Direct Tune option (where you could actually punch in the station # you want). Is it really still there somewhere, but that I just don't see it? I did like that option, since it was easy to enter the station number (I...

While I haven't got the update yet (yes, I do have FSD and yes, I do have the new hardware), I am happy to hear this. I stopped using it largely because it scared the crap out of passengers (and me at times) when it would wait till the last second to stop. Can't wait to get the new update to...

Well lookie here... pedestals are in! Sorry, with all the laws about a phone in-hand (and I didn’t want to record with Tessy’s side cams), I figured this was lucky enough to get.

mociaf9 is exactly correct. The current plan with the utility is for the power to be connected "by the end of the year." (transformer, meter, etc.) Of course, this is "Elon's timeline" we're talking about here, especially since all this was supposed to be finished by Q3, so take it FWIW...

At least as of Tuesday (22nd), everything is the same condition as my last update, unfortunately.

While it doesn't identify this with the usual "TELSA" (sic) or "Supercharger" label, Tesla has been touting a Minnetonka location for over a year now, so that, combined with the fact that it is at a Target, certainly gives it a strong possibility.

Updated fun...

Interesting. They must have changed plans from the original. The original plans stated 8 Supercharging stalls (Gen 2 SC) and 4 Level 2 charging stalls. Time will tell, I guess.

Looks like a mess right now. I think that one pic shows the post for the couple public chargers that the city required for the install.

Just some pics of the flags... cuz you all like visuals

As with all my information, yup. Keep in mind, this is underground stuff only. As those in Albert Lea know, you can have the underground stuff all finished, but it can take months for the "above ground" pieces to arrive (and for the connection of power too). However, once arrived, it only...

For those making the trek this coming winter, it just got easier... I'm informed that all the underground work will be completed by Halloween.

BOOM! Sounds like they are indeed starting this quarter. Looks like we will start seeing flags REAAAALLL soon... Search and Status Editorial comment: LOL... "Telsa"

Yeah, all those pics are the crew for CenturyLink. His first picture (the one with the Target sign and the transformer) is exactly the corner of the parking lot where the SC is going.

The work that they are doing is at the very location the superchargers will go... at the very NE end corner of the lot. Good digging, mociaf9, that's exactly it -- wow, talk about a tease, courtesy of CenturyLink. :(

I just upgraded to 20.4.2 from 20.2.1, so it isn’t limited to .4.1 people. Either they are wanting to test items from both 4.1 and 4.2 (mmm, nah) or else there was something pretty bad about 4.1 (yeah, goin with that)

Of course, they can always delay again, but based on the latest communication utility had with Tesla, Tesla indicated they would begin 19Q3 instead of the original 19Q2, as was noted in the material within the city minutes. So the odds anyway would favor construction still this year, and not...

... relief that they didn’t have to redig the whole thing again? :)

Well, as of 5pm, it basically looks the same as my pic above :(

Another pic from another angle, in case you wanted to see the cones. They were stacking the fence pieces into the pile.

Parents just passed by the Target. Still sadly nothing. I hope it's not a result of dirty power issues, like were present at its old site :(

I drove by yesterday and saw the one guy there just cleaning up with the Bobcat (not literal brand) with "some" of the fencing taken down. I'll have to stop by later today too to check!

While I won't be up there this weekend, my parents are headed to their cabin today to open it up for the year. I told them to report back and take pictures if applicable.

At the site yesterday... nothing happening. Yet.

Finding myself driving on Sundays during football, I can leave it on the ESPN NFL Scoreboard page and can see the vast majority of the games/scores (and it automatically refreshes every 30 seconds). So when waiting at a traffic light, all I have to do is glance over and see the updated score...

I just went out there to test it again. The first time had to have been a glitch, because I can’t replicate it now. Sorry, I should have more thoroughly tested it. Edit: When initially testing it, I turned on the seat heater from the “fan menu” (as opposed to the seat heater on the bottom of...

With 5.16, when I went to turn on the driver's seat warmer, it turned on the heat as well. Unfortunate. However, the HVAC didn't turn on, simply because I clicked the fan icon to bring up the HVAC/Seat Heater screen. Hopefully I answered what you were asking. :)

Hmmm... 2019.5.16 installing as I type. Odd, someone was just showing yesterday that only 1 person had this pushed to their vehicle in the last week.

I agree, bob_p -- after taking ownership of my S 100D in October, the only remorse I have with the purchase is not waiting (clearly hindsight, as I didn't predict a significant price drop). It's one thing if it's a new model/refresh, but from what I'm hearing, it's essentially the same car...

Awww..... "The estimated completion date for this project is Q3 2019 (or sooner)............ 6-8 weeks to complete"

And for those that would like more information on the meeting referenced in the article that OTD gave, the Tesla information is on page 99 of the following packet (fun details of the actual charging space on pages 112-136): Alexandria City Council Meeting Minutes for Sept 24th, 2018 The...

Good find, OTD! Didn’t know that it was “13” (11 Tesla-dedicated), but location is what I was told. Good to know it’s likely starting in spring. Means a bit more when it’s in print, as opposed to just a Tesla Target Date on its website

No, I'm not 100% certain of that, but it should be understood that such a finding was not my basis for validating where the new SC is going. What I was simply stating is that, when searching for possible other locations for Tesla months ago, I was limiting the search based on "Work done for"...

And now that I search the Gopher State One database, it looks like the same contractor that was hired at the initial Pilot Gas Station site (3181 Evergreen) subsequently requested a survey at the site 4404 Hwy 29 (sorry, I was being coy earlier) on 4/19/18: Search and Status The difference...

Yikes. Exhale. I already (previously) sent him an email with more details.

Heads up, @BlueShift : The permit address for the Alexandria, MN USA location is no longer 3181 Evergreen Ln. That site is killed, so probably makes sense to remove that bubble. The new permit is under a prominent Minnesota-based company located on the 4400 block of Hwy 29 in Alexandria, MN...

Yeah, I got the info and typed it out here the very same day. The location seems to be a bit of a "secret" though... not sure why. Alexandria is excited to have a SC though -- that's what I got out of it. I don't believe it's a Alexandria holdup... I do think it's Tesla that is holding this...

Super excited for this SC site, no doubt, as I'm a regular visitor to Alex. However, there's no real chance of being surprised though, Viking -- everything regarding this SC is a go (plans approved, permit application is in, etc.), but unfortunately it is slated to be a Spring 2019 project...

My folks have a place up in Alexandria, so naturally, this is going to be an exciting add for me. During my visit to the Tesla store, I inquired about this, and they mentioned that (at least currently), it's planned to be finished in November, FWIW. That would seem to be a fairly aggressive...
