Thanks for the picture! The conduit look like what would be in a Supercharger pad. I don't see any trenching for the stations themselves.

Supercharger - Victor, NY

Not a great photo (I was rushed) but I think the stations will be in the median and will be serving both sides of the parking island. It's a small area and so to get 8 stations in that's the only way to fit them.

So now I have it on good authority that this is in the front of the Mall by the center entrance. Looking at Macy's , PF Chang is on your right. The stores you see to the left of Macy's in the picture are Ethan Allen and Raymor and Flanigan

Yesterday we were visiting my Son and his family for Passover and I stopped at the Eastview Mall. I took a few shots and can see the trenching in progress with conduits being laid down. No Tesla specific equipment is yet evident.
On the second image I drew a red arrow pointing to my car (on the left).

Thanks for the pics. I see now how the stations will be placed between the parking spots.
Looks like this is the location (based on the pictures xrayangiodoc posted.)
Note: Pittsford Victor Rd. is NY Route 96
Soooo looking forward to this location. I visit relatives in Fairport and Victor.
I'll be up there in about 10-14 days and I'll take and post more pictures.

Thanks! Agreed that looks like the location. Notice it looks like Macy's has a pretty significant solar panel installation.
Confirmed. I spoke with the construction guys. They say it should be done by the end of this month.

Looks very good! Seems they have poured the base for the SC stands and the base of the pad that will receive the connection from the utility and then go to the transformer and then to the SC cabinets. Once the crew finishes THEIR job we will then have to wait for the transformer to be delivered by the utility and then the hookup to the power lines. That can cause the most frustrating delays. I wonder where the SC rectifier cabinets are going to be placed?
I think it came down to attractive upscale location (I suspect they may put a store in this mall eventually) and very friendly mall/real estate company. The Waterloo project seems it was completed before anyone even knew it was planned - also a Wilmorite project.
Cool to have that, thanks!
James Reno asked me to attend, and it was fun to talk to Jesse Karp and Mike Kaufmann. I asked why no location in Henrietta, and it came down to proximity to i90 that had nice amenities.
At the meeting it seemed some people were quite curious and surprisingly uninformed about Tesla and EV's. It felt like an opportunity to run an informational video.
In Florida where we have 14 Superchargers , Service Centers and galleries in the Mall there are still a surprising number of people that have never heard of Tesla. And even a larger number of folk that don't realize how comprehensive the Supercharger network has become in the US.
I'm a little concerned about the availability of charging spaces. I have family that lives a mile away, so I've been there frequently. I can tell you it can be extremely difficult to find ANY space to park at that mall...especially in the area where the chargers will be Folks end up using valet parking at the mall because of it.

Fantastic pics, thanks! Excited that that is the site, though also worried about ICEing - though I've high hopes that some simple steps (traffic cones) coupled with the innate Upstate NY manners will keep at lease some of the spaces free. It's surprising that they picked this area when there is ample space on the outskirts, but hopefully Mall Mgmt. has a plan to deal with it.
I had similar thoughts. Those spots are in an area that can get pretty packed. Might get interesting around holidays. Fortunately Waterloo Isn't far away.
