Lindale Texas is in a similar stage ... all the stalls look good to go, but apparently OnCor has 10 days or a couple of weeks before they can flip the switch on the grid. But these two sites are my gold for Florida Beaches !!!!
I'm just guessing, but the location of the transformer may not be obvious. For example, it may be around the corner of the building. The other thing to look for is the meter. Also the fenced in equipment (primarily inverters and battery packs). And there can be other delays even after all those items are connected. If I am remembering a recent Lindale/Tyler, TX, comment correctly, someone at the business there said that each time the site had been activated it blew fuses. The cause of that has to be tracked down of course.
From our experience in Shreveport (and it is the same construction crew), one indicator of completion will be removable of the plastic covers from the individual superchargers. On the same day that happened the Tesla technician showed up in a Tesla and performed the final checking of the setup.

I have VERY good information that the Alexandria, LA Supercharger is open as of today.
I expect it will show up in the NAV system later today or tomorrow.

The last information I had (about a week old now) is that no construction permit has been issued in Monroe although the site (at the east end of Pecanland Mall) has been selected. On the other hand, a permit has been issued in Meridian, MS, and a site has been selected. So Meridian may be next.

Me too. It allows for 30 min general parking but that truck was there when I arrived and still there when I left about 45 mins later.

Stopped at the Alexandria supercharger yesterday afternoon on my way to a meeting in N. Louisiana, & found this city police cruiser parked in one spot, and a pickup truck (apparently owned by another cop) straddling two other spots. As the photo shows, plenty of other parking spaces just across the aisle. The parking lot is adjacent to a Holiday Inn that's being renovated; once the hotel opens, it wouldn't surprise me to find a lot of ICEing at this location. The hotel entrance is relatively close, and the convention center is just adjacent to the superchargers too.
Downtown New Orleans is exactly 200 miles away.

Perhaps Tesla should consider painting the slots a bright blue hue ... not saying handicapped ... just sayin'
I've suggested to Tesla reps that they use green paint, which is often seen for EV parking spaces, or even red with the Tesla logo. I think they know this location may be plagued by ICEing and they promise to be vigilant.
I also sent a friendly email to the Mayor, Chief of Police & Director of the local Convention & Visitors Bureau reminding them that while charging their cars, owners will visit local hotels, restaurants, shops & museums (yes, even in downtown Alexandria, LA).
