Supercharger - Rolla, MO

View attachment 190373 View attachment 190375 I'm getting my first tesla the end of September and hope this will be ready by then. Here are some pictures of the progress.

Predicition is difficult. But end of September should be reasonable, unless some unforeseen hang-fire occurs. A common glitch is waiting for the utitlity to get its transformer delivered, but this one is already on its pad

I've been watching one in my county that went in with amazing speed. Impressive civil crew. Broke ground July 12 and connected to power Aug. 8, after passing local final inspection a few days earlier. But it has been languishing for a week, presumably waiting for the Tesla techs to arrive to certify/activate it. It's never as fast as we want, but it will happen!

OBTW Thanks for the pictures!

I see all 4 charging cabinets and at least 3 charging pedastals (one more lying on the ground). Still difficult to predict how quickly it will move from here though.

Drove by this morning, looks like all of the skeletons that make up the stalls are up, but the covers are not installed yet nor is the fencing around the cabinets on the main pad. Hopefully in a another a week or so would be my guess.

Johnobe, can you describe the parking lot where this construction is taking place. According to the coordinates assigned by supercharge.info this construction site looks nothing like the parking lot of Bandana's Bar-B-Q.

Here's what it looks like from the map, the supercharger.info construction cone is in the wrong place, they're building the superchargers in the lots I circled in red. I took the picture from the road in front of Bandana's, from that vantage point it didn't capture the Super 8 to the east and got the field behind it instead.

Drove by yesterday at Noon. The crew was working on site. Asked them where they are headed after this Supercharger is completed. One of the guys said, "Don't know this is the first one we've done."

The construction company is doing a good job. The progress is progress. We don't want the same thing that happened in Norfolk, Va. Especially losing a life, when creating a Tesla Supercharger Station. Safety is priority. I also bought a pack of water from Walmart and brought it over to Rolla Supercharger Station Construction Company they were gone. I went into Bandana's Bar-B-Q and asked the manager to give into the construction, due to the hot temperature, 95 degrees. He didn't mind. Doing something nice for those who are building our Supercharger's, is what makes progress toward the supercharger and I didn't want a heat stroke to happen. To our local construction company's.

Thanks, Ronnie! I can still remember what ninety-five feels like Missouri. Our guys had the opposite issue- they're from SW Kentucky and felt cold all the time in coastal Oregon. So we were taking them coffee and pastry instead. You are right- they seemed to appreciate the gesture and the acknowledgment.

Wood fencing is going up now, saw it on the front side of the concrete pad this morning.

Looks like another Supercharger is going to get done just in time for one of my road trips...This will make all the difference for my travel to the area.

Hopefully I can get up their and check out the facility of the construction progress. I'm going to bring over some snacks for the guys. I love supporting the Tesla Supercharger in our region. Snacks this time.

Starting to look like a Supercharging Station, no progress on the wood fencing since my last post though.

Looks good! The transformer is there! It's getting close.

BLUE used to be my favorite color but ORANGE is looking better these days and RED postivily rocks!

Thanks for all the updates. Looking forward to scheduling a meet up for the St Louis group to celebrate the opening.

Spoke with Tesla employee on Sunday who said that they energized the Rolla charger, but that there was a problem and it wasn't working right. He didn't know any details, but thought there was going to be some delay in opening because of it. Sorry so vague, but that's all I could learn.

Weak...I hope this is fixed quickly...I'm going to take an ICE car that way this weekend just to be safe...I've got another trip a few weeks later that I hope to use the charger for.

Ouch that sucks, I am going to Branson Monday and was hoping it would be open. Bummer

I just spoke to the Bandana's manager and the contractor had to rip out all the concrete and remove all the stalls. It did not meet Tesla's specs. More delays!!!

Gotta get it right, but dang it, gotta get this open!
