Yep, looks all powered up…

Electric contractor on site this morning…

This morning they were working the skid-steer in the fenced area. They appeared to be cleaning up. I’m guessing the fence will be coming down soon.

A couple pics from this weekend… Looks like the standard Tesla-only handles…

A new Grapevine location shows up online in Tesla Supercharger map, supposedly opening Q2 2023. I assume it’s this one and they just put the icon on the city center instead of at the correct address. Also some suggestion in the Tesla app for non-Tesla charging, that it may be coming to...

Will be interesting to see if the SC’s have the new Magic Dock allowing non-Tesla’s to fast charge. That would be a good explanation for putting two locations that close together. I see Texas Best has wait times occasionally, so this new one could take some of the peak Tesla traffic, but could...

Thanks for the pics homero89. We passed by this morning (Saturday) and there were a couple guys working. Here’s a more distant pic to help visualize where the work is going on. This is from about the middle of the lot looking South (Dooley is on your left and the intersection is NW Highway)…...

That’s about 4 blocks from our house. It’s not a big parking lot but basically never full. It’s a good location for a food stop. That strip mall has Subway, Bartley’s BBQ/bakery, Pho, and a bar and grill burger place. Within a 100-200 yard walk is Whataburger, Braums, Taco Casa, Popeye’s...

Looks like Superchargers are out of order. Bags over pedestals (at least the ones on the East side) and no numbers on in-car map.

So glad this new location went in as V3… https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-supercharger-v3-300kw-upgrade-confirmed-elon-musk/ It’s not likely that much of the existing fleet will see a significant improvement from 300kw, but good to have some future-proofing for coming models with 4680’s.

Uh oh…

From the City of Grapevine weekly e-newsletter… New Supercharger Station This new Supercharger station serves Tesla drivers in our Dallas/Fort Worth market. Situated just north of DFW International Airport at 1001 Northwest Highway, this is the first V3 Supercharger in the DFW metroplex. The...

and menu’s...

Store now open.

Was an X charging on East side and two 3’s charging on West side. One charger on East side (Southmost one) was giving error. Could smell slight BBQ smoke smell so must be testing or training inside.

Confirmed! We’re charging. Also shows up on Tesla map in car.

Model X backed in and plugged in on East side right now. Don’t know if they’re charging or jus attempting to.

Mid-March has come and gone but... https://communityimpact.com/dallas-fort-worth/grapevine-colleyville-southlake/development/2021/03/03/texas-best-smokehouse-texaco-c-store-set-to-open-at-grapevine-north-station-in-mid-march/ Looks really close now. Digital billboard is flashing “car wash” and...

Just drove by and there was a Model S backed in to one of the Superchargers on the East side and a couple guys working on the Supercharger with the cover off. I was rushing home to get on a meeting so didn’t have time to stop. Maybe testing.

Some updated photos as of Saturday afternoon. As shown previously, Superchargers are uncovered and look ready... Looking East toward Great Wolf... While I was there they were running a street sweeper through parking lot as seen by dirt patterns in picture above and below... All cabinets...

I thought a video walkthrough might help people visualize the layout. This was one take, handheld, so not high production value...

When I drove by at lunch today they were working on landscaping (putting in trees). Definitely looking closer to being ready to open store.

Thanks for continued updates, Rick and others.

FWIW, there is work going on out back as well. What we had assumed might be transformer pad... Below you can see that new pad on the right and the dumpster enclosure on the left... And some work farther West along the fence on the North side of the property.

Walked over this evening and spoke to a guy on site. He said they are hoping to get opened by end of February. He said the Superchargers are going to be on the West side of the building, not behind (to the North) as we speculated. That would be in the area where the blue lift is parked...

Per update at... Find Us | Tesla ...it’s expected in 1Q21. There has been a trenching machine sitting out back for a week or so now. I’ll try to run over this week to check on progress.

They put up cinder block walls with rock facade around the angled bay that we guessed might be a dumpster spot. Pretty much confirms that.

Quite a bit of progress today. Gas pumps are in and canopy close to complete... Rebar ready and some cement poured on East side of car wash and some car wash equipment installed (hard to see in deep shadows in buidling even with overdone shadow lightening)... Also some new work around...

Pallets out front today containing "PECO" boxes. Looks like PECO may supply pumps and filters for gas and oil applications. Gas pumps may be going in shortly.

New pictures from today. Most building and drive-by signage complete. Gas pump canopy structure just installed this morning. Car wash and canopy getting closer to completion. Still need paving in this area. I'm assuming this will be vacuum and dry-off bays for car wash. Picture...

A couple tidbits I found searching this morning. Texas Best Smokehouse appears in the Chamber of Commerce Business Directory... Texas Best Smokehouse #10 | Restaurants - Grapevine Chamber of Commerce ... as location #10. Location 10 (nor 9) show up on Texas’ Best website... Store Locations -...

More signage being installed on the building today. I don’t think the gas pumps are installed yet so still a ways to go.

Not much progress out back. I did notice today that the signs are up on the front of the building and the cement is poured in the drive around the gas pump islands. That pour is new this week.

Drove by yesterday and there were a few tractor-trailer size trucks in front. Today there were a number of vehicles there including a Bud Light van. Hopefully that means refrigerated cases are in and maybe stocking underway. I didn’t ride through the lot, but no activity in back that I could...

I ran by again on Tuesday and still no progress on Superchargers that I can see. They have trim around windows and some other decorative stuff done on the building, and looks like they’re preparing to pour concrete around the gas pump islands. Will update when I check again.

Went by today and almost no progress in likely Supercharger locations behind the building. Just this week they poured what looks to be the last part of the drive: the entrance from the East off of Ruth Wall.

Some updated pics from today and some speculation. Most of the glass/glazing seems to be in now... Fuel pump island progress... Rear of building from NE corner... Some buried conduit in back (looking West)... Some hard-surface area being prepped. Might stringed-off area in...

Regarding the hope for V3 Superchargers in Grapevine, is Tesla even deploying new V2’s any more? With claims that the Cybertruck and new Roadster will be capable of charging at more than 250kW (above the current charge rate of the V3 chargers), it wouldn’t seem to make sense to deploy V2’s in...

Progress has been slow on Texas Best Smokehouse in Grapevine (maybe COVID-related delays for construction, inspections, etc). I've been keeping an eye on the lot and progress since it was announced a year or two ago with the mention of included Superchargers. In the wide shot below you can see...

Has anyone reached out to the Big Bend Conservancy/Friends of Big Bend National Park about them supporting a project for charging infrastructure in the National Park? I've been a member for a couple years to support their mission of raising money for projects in and around the park... "The Big...
