Just been looking at all those fill-ins happening on supercharge.info
Looks like they are concentrating the north east and plugging some holes before Austin.

 

[Twiglett]

Just checked
SC's that have begun construction since Austin was approved = 21
SC's that reached permit since then = 9
SC's the have opened since then = 9

Prognosis = we have some time to wait. . . . . .

No love for I-10 west:-(

BTW: My Tesla had a delivery date for my Model 3 (3/31) for Dec but has since gone away...

Some activity today. A tractor has been delivered to the site, and there was a truck there this morning.

Construction has officially started!

Hmmm is it fair to say that the Supercharger parking spots will be on the left of the picture, away from the trees?

Would make sense, given the discussion about tree root impact survey etc.

p.s. love your snapshot of normal daily traffic in Austin, too

The charging spots are still on the right according to the plans.
The change that let them move forward was that all the underground cable work is under the parking lot, leading up to each charger bay.
Hence them digging up the parking lot

thankfully those trees don't drop sap, they're all Live Oaks.
Just nice, year round shade

I count seven posts under those trees. Does that correlate with the number of chargers to be installed, for 14 total spaces?
I will be in the area over Labor Day weekend. It sadly won't be up and running by then.

Looks like it will be 8 charging spots. 4 Supercharger cabinets - each cabinet runs 2 charging connectors. The 8th is either out of view or will be a pull in spot next to where the equipment will be.

The plan has eight stalls

Pedestals up! Some good progress this week.

Wow that was quick once they finally were able to start.

I can't quite make out what the signs say, looks like it could be 30 minute parking (maybe)

So I've seen a few of the 30 minute parking... I've always assumed that is suggested only if other folks are waiting to charge... Kind of surprised they don't specify.

My electric bill just went down a hundred bucks a month

Pretty tight parking lot.
