redneck drivin' a tesla...
i have farmer family in Pembina & Neche ND who scoff at the idea of a Tesla and claim it would never work for them. and to a certain extent it's true without the SC near them.
i just can't wait to one day drive straight to Pembina and visit them.

Ironically, if your relatives were to do the math, they'd find the cost of spreading a bunch of L3 chargers (including Super Chargers) is a lot less than trying to maintain gas stations as viable businesses in a state with such low population density. And, assuming your relatives have electricity, the fact that they can be their own fuel supplier for the majority of their use makes the energy supply even more secure. Hauling a bunch of gasoline around by trucks is really inefficient compared to sending electricity down a wire. In the long run, EVs are inevitable simply for economic reasons.

Bismarck, Dickinson, and Alexandria MN one call all list the same company from KY doing the work and all list this week as a start date. I'm guessing that work won't start on all three this week. But still great to see work permits.
Work Being Done For: TESLER.
Something to note in future searches on the Work Being Done For field.
EDIT:
It seems like Tesla's current approach is to get a lot of the groundwork done and in, and then the final electrical work later. Since the final work doesn't require any digging, there's more flexibility on the dates, and they could take advantage and get cheap off-season work.

I'm heading to the Bismarck location to snap some pics. Will post here ASAP.
Will do that too
Confirmed that MDU gas, Century Link (fiber and copper POTS probably) and one unknown thing have been marked in the region noted on the locate request.

I'm really unsure where they are going to get power from. All areas of the marked region seems really far from significant electrical equipment. But being this is a commercial area, lots of power must be relatively easy to access. Perhaps they will just trench it across the parking lot.
Good news is existing utilities are a good distance from expected location.

If they actually drove up from KY they started today in Dickinson! So hopefully Bismarck would be next unless they can spit up the group.

Thursday 7pm update.
Steady as she goes. No indications of start of work.
I could be obsessive about it and post daily... But I'm probably going to back off and only report when I see a change
