I sure hope so. It would be nice if it could go live before Christmas.

Stopped by yesterday. Not open yet and all iced. The 2 non tesla chargers were iced. I has about 100 miles left with 195 miles to go. Across from the mall, there are chargers in front of Whole Foods. Not fast just 20 miles an hour . Had lunch at Panera which is in the same area

This is probably the worst time of the year for shopping at DFM. I've rarely seen cars in that lot with SC on a normal weekend, as it is so far from the mall.

The EVgo chargers should be policed by Security, but no one cares about us. Frankly, I wouldn't put the spots up front to entice ICEing. I've seen at other malls Prius parked in charger spots, and they weren't PHEV models.

That's interesting. Most others that were listed having a Target open of 2017 have been updated to 2018.

Hearing rumors on r/teslamotors that two of the stations actually work?

 

[shelbri]

None of them were lit this evening so I’m not sure the rumor is accurate.

looks like its going to be a while... and sounds like something else is up according to eversource... "privacy issues"?

I contacted the mall and they would not share any info with me as to the reason for the delay or any sort of time frame. They referred me to a generic Tesla email address for my questions about the site. The representative at the City of Danbury building department had no information either.

Very Discouraging news..... One can only wonder what the problem is. Anyone have any idea where the Waterbury SC will be located?

I think we're still a ways away from Waterbury being decided on. Trumbull and Torrington were 2017, so they should come first. The only location I could think of in Waterbury would be the mall or plaza next to the mall. Possibly Home Depot or Downtown too.

Any news?

Was there today - no change, no charge

 

[Dan_A]

Officially 200 days since construction started, according to Supercharge.info. A new record?

No, but it's close as Fremont, CA (Kato Rd) is at 205 days as of today.

That location was actually originally added to supercharge.info some time earlier - it was stale for so long, it was removed - the listing you see above is the second iteration!

Good eye and thanks for clarifying. It looks like pics of the construction go as far back as Oct 15, 2015 so that would be 845 days total but don't know how much 'downtime' in the middle of the project.

Fremont 47400 Kato Road (Construction incomplete, not operational, 20 stalls)

 

[Dan_A]

That project was never completed. Isn't construction in Danbury fully complete?

 

[shelbri]

Danbury construction appears complete including transformer and meter. It just doesn’t seem to have been energized. Was there this weekend and no progress to report.
