I get the feeling Tesla kicked off an entire winter's worth of supercharger construction to finish all ground work before the ground freezes, and now they will move much slower installing the above ground equipment and activating things.

JWardell might be right, but I'll add to the speculation with this. It would make sense that supercharger station investments might go on and off hold depending on the organization's projected cash flow and how that's looking for any given reporting period. When you want your accounting books to look good, holding off on spending is one way to help that.
At any rate, I'll be passing by the Orleans site this weekend and will take a look for progress.

If that were the case you'd see widespread impacts where multiple sites across whole regions were affected. Temporarily holding up expenditures on a single location isn't going to be even a rounding error on Tesla's books. And anyone paying attention to more than just a single site will clearly see that this isn't an issue.

Heading there Saturday at noon and we'll report if there are any changes.
Meanwhile, is anyone as excited about the pickup truck reveal tonight as I am??? I hope it doesn't look too bizarre...

I fear it will be enough of a weirdmobile to drive me to the Rivan or electric F-150...
Great news! Supercharger stalls were just installed at Stop & Shop in Orleans. Installer says may be another week or so before their activated.

I haven’t been to PTown since I was in middle school. Pretty soon there really won’t be a reason not to visit PTown again next summer. Great progress on this site.

Did you see anybody there working on it? I went there this weekend and tried plugging in and it's dead. Maybe they're waiting for the final inspection before turning it on.

Total guess but I don't think anyone is in a rush to do more work this week, even though it would be a very helpful for all the big travel happening
