Supercharger - Shenandoah, TX

@corywright @MarcoRP

This one is a weird one. Filing for an electric vehicle charging station located at 10973 North Freeway, Shenandoah, TX. When I put the address only (no city) it comes up in Houston. But Shenandoah is a few miles further north. Plus the project name has not been matching the other filings.

If I had to guess, Tesla accidentally swapped the 9 and the 0. If the address were 19073 North Freeway the location would be Portofino Center (and it would have the same zip code as the filing).

 

[Guacahummus]

Yep, that makes sense. What do you make of "TRT"?

Shenandoah, TX

Host Type: Mall
Host: Portofino Shopping Center
Along Primary Interstates: I-45
Along US Numbered Highways (<=5mi): None
Along Auxiliary Interstates: None

I-45

From: Houston - North, TX - 14.5 miles
To: Huntsville, TX - 38.9 miles
Diversion: 0.2 miles
From: Webster, TX - 53.6 miles
To: Madisonville, TX - 64.7 miles

V3 on I-45, and splitting the 2nd biggest gap (which to be fair wasn't that big.)

Great to see this. The service center is always full and Huntsville is not much better.
It's odd to me why they appear to favor the North bound traffic. Service center is on the NB side. Huntsville is on the NB side. So is Centerville and Corsicana.

This one helps more than it may seem to at first glance because the one just south at the Tesla service center is often full and this is a high traffic interstate.

Huntsville is so damn slow. I think it is V1 but is much slower than that most times even when empty.

I'm sure Madisonville will take a lot of the load from Huntsville

Yes, and who doesn't enjoy a Buc ee's stop! Can't wait.

Woodlands should have had a charger a long time ago. About the only thing available is destination charging at the shopping center and most of the time they're full of the Tesla demo cars.

Interesting, just saw this one on Supercharge.info. Right next to me so I'll never use it, but cool to see!

This one would have been perfect for those overnight trips to The Woodlands for my daughter's soccer games, except the new one at Bucees in Waller really is perfect, and its open now.

And swim meets in The Woodlands.

Saw some back-of-curb dirt work happening out front of Car Toys in the grass area closest to I-45. No signs of Tesla equipment so too early for a cone, but something to keep an eye on.

If you know the shape of the Tesla prefab “4-banger” Supercharger, then this hole looks mighty similar. There’s going to be interference with the light pole base on the southern set of 4.

 

[STDRDC13]

The interfering light pole has been removed making way for the southern prefab Supercharger assembly.

Next thing to see is if they (the prefab 4-bangers) will each be fed via pole mounted transformers (3 - 100kVa) like Iowa, La. or a pad mount.

Light pole base gave the crew some trouble as it’s just now coming out of the ground to allow room for the prefab Supercharger bank.

I'm going to swing by and see if I can snap a pic of @STDRDC13 camped out in a tent with binoculars monitoring the situation as it unfolds real-time Appreciate the updates!

 

[STDRDC13]

The light pole/base made its way back into the ground positioned just between where the 2 prefabs will rest.

Non-Tesla branded switchgear is installed for the north bank.
