Went by today as well and here are some additional pics. Looks like 4 completed pedestals, 12 partially completed, and 4 to still be worked on. Area was repaved with new parking lines painted and bumpers installed.

One of our club members provided these photos to me this morning. It appears to me that there will be two sets of 5 Supercharger cabinets located at each end of the line of 15 charging spaces.
I believe that these 5 Supercharger cabinets are located on a grassly area at the entrance to the parking lot.
I believe that the cabinets off in the distance are the other 5 Supercharging cabinets at the other end of the parking lot. There will be 15 charging stalls to the left of the photo and 5 more in an "L" shape to the right of the photo. As you probably know you need 10 Supercharger cabinets to power 20 charging terminals.

Hi AJ,
Thanks for the great photos. Your photos confirm what I was saying regarding the location of the Supercharger cabinets. Your first photo importantly shows the switchgear and utility power transformer located at the other side of the parking lot entrance opposite the 5 Supercharger cabinets on the right side of the entrance.

Sarasota has always been good for public charging locations. The St Pete location is really great for those folks south of there as I-275 is invariably the easiest route to Tampa airport.
Quick Update: All pedestals are up. About 6 electricians working on the transformer/FPL hookup this afternoon. Additional worker digging holes for the Tesla parking signs. Shouldn't be too long before operational pending local inspections. May try to take a few pics this weekend.
Hi AJ.
Thanks again for keeping us posted.
As soon as I know that this Supercharger Station is operational, I am going to organize a local club meet-up and diner event at a private room at the Stonewood Grill & Tavern located directly across University Parkway from the station.

Hi Nigel,
Yes, in addition both Sarasota and St. Petersburg along with Orlando, are the only three Florida cities to support a community-wide goal of achieving 100 percent renewable energy by 2045. Sarasota also joined a list of municipalities opting to abide by the Paris climate accord.
Sarasota is looking more sustainable after City Commission meeting

I drove by there this Sunday 8/14 afternoon. The utility meter is in place and the transformer is humming. Pedestals are not yet labeled so not sure if that fourth one is 2B or not 2B. I'm sure this detail will Shake out soon. (First post. I'll get better with the pics.)
Thanks for the update and welcome to the forums.

Installation work expected to be finished "Friday" according to the crew on site; no idea when it may go live. 10 of the units are Tesla charging only, the other 10 allow general parking up to 30 minutes (but I've never seen that parking lot anywhere approaching full)

Note that the UTC mall just down the road has a number of public chargers and the Tesla store has been accommodating to allow visitors in need use of the destination chargers. There are also high amp Tesla destination chargers at several hotels/locations in Sarasota as well as numerous public chargepoints.
Feel free to contact myself or @Larry Chanin if you need help finding somewhere to plug in, I think we know most if not all of the charger locations around here.
Sarasota Supercharger Station is operational!
As of now the location has been programmed into the navigation systems of the Tesla fleet, but it is not yet shown on the Find Us map.

@Chuq @MarcoRP @corywright @tes-s The location on supercharge.info is inside the Whole Food, which is incorrect. The correct location is 27.3869668,-82.4640789.

@Chuq @MarcoRP @corywright @tes-s Oops, the coordinates I gave were wrong too. The correct ones are 27.386306,-82.464377.
