I emailed Blueshift about this earlier, has now been added to supercharge.info as an eight bay SC (I assume he uses that as the default)

That was an unusually helpful e-mail from the Tesla supercharging team! I searched within the city website and found this from the February 3rd meeting of the City of Oakdale Economic Development Commission:
That would be at 7180 10th Street North.
Nice work. I had flipped through the meeting PDFs back through March and then decided to go to bed
24/7 grocery stores seem to be popular locations. The upcoming Green Bay one should also be in a Festival parking lot (like Sheboygan's).
Looking forward to having this SuperCharger available to make travel to the Twin Cities much more painless for charging.
The trick is to do a Google search like this: Tesla site:ci.oakdale.mn.us so you don't have to look through all the minutes by hand.
I think grocery stores are actually a poor choice of location. It is way too easy for locals to use the superchargers to save some money while getting their weekly groceries.
Yeah, did that (via DuckDuckGo) but I must have fat fingered something (was on my iPad).The trick is to do a Google search like this: Tesla site:ci.oakdale.mn.us so you don't have to look through all the minutes by hand.

Great news! We knew something was coming, just a matter of time. Now, I've been wondering about the I-94 corridor. Fargo ND is a forgone conclusion due to the crossing interstates, but will there be one (say Alexandria or Sauk Center) or two SC's (St. Cloud and Alexandria/Fergus Falls) on I-94 between MSP and Fargo? With the future M3 and extreme winter temps, will Tesla target 100 mi spacing in these areas?
I agree. I also have a strong preference for a good coffee place (Starbucks or, ideally, better) and a couple of good restaurant choices that are safe to walk to from the chargers.I think grocery stores are actually a poor choice of location.

How nice of a place? And how much does atmosphere matter?The nice thing about Hy-Vee is that they have a coffee place inside the store (Starbucks in the stores I've been too, including Oakdale), along with a quick service "restaurant". At least in Rochester, where 2 chargepoint chargers are installed, they have a full on restaurant attached, plus a grill for short order items and a complete salad bar. There's also a comfortable area to sit and eat/work, with outlets and free wifi. There's one very close to the Albert Lea SC as well that is now our go-to spot when we drive through because they offer all of this. I'm a fan.

Many that I've seen in grocery stores are windowless affairs or they're right by checkout so you have to listen to that. Not a very nice place to sit with your laptop for 30 minutes while your car charges (and a surprising number don't even have any tables or chairs).

I'll be in Oakdale later this week and hope to drop by and see how it looks.I haven't had a similar experience to the HyVee's I noted in the post, not sure what the layout is elsewhere. For me, it was similar to going to a starbucks, but with booths.
Thanks Sagisarius. Always fun to have new SC in the area!
I looked about 10 days ago and found no construction then, but was really impressed by all the Hyvee offered.
