Supercharge.info defaults all locations to 6 stalls until they open. As noted earlier in the thread, the permit indicates 8 stalls (although they got their terminology reversed).

A little more confirmation -- the label on the shipping crate on top of the storage container says "Tesla 8-pk bollard layout":

A2 Update: It was 92 degrees in A2 yesterday at 5:30pm and the electricians where still there working.

I swung by around 7:30 pm, and the crew was still hustling. They were working on getting the charger cabinets installed. It doesn't look like they've poured the pad for the transformer yet.

I also got a few views from inside the shipping container -- perhaps some of the forum gurus can identify some of this stuff:

Swung by yesterday -- all the chargers are installed, and rebar has been laid for the transformer pad, but concrete hasn't been poured for it yet. It also looks like the stations will need a concrete pour for their bases, as well. It looks like there is a bit of trenching (and a bit of conduit) heading away from the transformer pad -- am I correct in assuming this is for the DTE feed?
Was in the area today, and stopped by. No progress today (most likely due to it being Sunday and the weather). My pictures are more or less the same. Hopefully the rain breaks this week, then it will not be long before construction ends and the DTE wait begins.

I swung by very briefly today. Sorry, no pictures -- the rain was too nasty. From what I could tell, the enclosure for the charger has been completed, and I *think* the concrete for the transformer pad has been poured. If I don't need an ark to get around tomorrow, I'll try to swing by, take a better look at it, and get some pictures.

Pictures from Last Tuesday. Electricians say DTE needs to bore under the road to bring power in for the transformer. They hope to have it up and running after the 4th. They will call me when its close so we can get a rally organized.

I live in Ann Arbor and I just ordered my Tesla today! Finding out there is a going to be a charging station where I live is too perfect, the timing is amazing! Thanks for posting all this info, it made my day better than it already was.

Can't even believe how nice it's going to be having the A2 and GR superchargers online. They are going to open up a whole new area of work commuting coverage I have had a difficult time fitting into my work and life schedule. Overnight stays will no longer be needed in any direction. Range anxiety will be eliminated. The rest of the Michigan Superchargers will be purely recreational travel for me.

Do you have any guess on what those 3 conduits are for that are just to the left of the Transformer Pad? The setup of 2 conduits for the high Voltage in and 5 conduits for the 480 Volts out is standard. Also, there is a very obvious mount for the utility meter next to the Equipment Enclosure.
The 3 conduits next to the transformer pad are a mystery to me...

Ann Arbor is constructed for 16. 8 now and for future expansion needs. That may answer your question....

Future expansion would need more conduits inside the Equipment Enclosure, but not beside of the Transformer Pad...

Might just be a stub for the inbound connection - earlier post indicated that they need to drill under the road to connect to the mainline. Finish that job, trench to the three pipes, then make the final conduit connection underground before you pull the cabling.
