Sadly, the conductors at the top of the pole are still flapping in the breeze.

That doesn't look like it will be long at all. If the utility got that far on the transformer and pad wiring this past week, I would imagine they are only one more visit away from connecting the pole feed and maybe the meter. That and I don't see why the hardware would be unwrapped unless Tesla was expecting power soon.
Could depend whether they're only planning to be powered up when the host is ready.
I don't know if the lot will be fully plowed through winter before the host is open.

That one more utility visit not likely to happen soon with everybody out trying to restore power. Hope to check tomorrow after picking up my car from BGR (after cancelled flight and alternate hotel/train/bus situation).

. Could mean the Tesla team is up there doing PM or upgrades to the existing site this morning before swinging over to commission the new site.

Nice little, 1st quarter crescent moon snuck into that first photo, sitting over the top of the right-most insulator.
Also, Brewer shows as all stalls out of order tonight on the app.
I'm up in Houlton until Tuesday. I would imagine I'll get to try out Bangor on the way south it looks like.

Maybe? I think they have restrictions on the number of hours they can work in a day - at least the supercharger maintenance team does. I’d think the team would stay up there until done if it’s ready for commissioning. Could just hotel until Monday though. We’ll see.
They may have been working Brewer past 9pm as this was the site status at 8:55pm:

A little snow forecast for Sunday. And there's a storm coming Tuesday night/Wednesday, with high winds and snow to rain, so could be bad for outages.
Hopefully though the previous storm means that many of the bad trees and power poles are already down.
So maybe they can get it powered up, power will go down, and then it'll come back and sit hardly used until spring.
No power as of Saturday 11am, I checked. Spectrum (cable) was there inspecting the pole.
The stalls are aligned with the middle of the parking slot. Is that for the non-Teslas? Longer thinner cables, no magic dock.

From previous photos, those are regular v3 charging posts. Near-center alignment is presumed to enable future v3 post replacement with v4 posts. MagicDock is also an interim possibility, although probably less likely given v4 posts have started appearing.
Also, there are pairs of CCS south and north ends of Bangor, plus there are NEVI Phase 2 spots open for Hermon and Bangor. So, probably not much point aggressively pursuing CCS with Magic Dock.
Progress! Apparently still not energized, but looks like everything is installed. That's my twelve year old winter "beater" in front of the pedestal , so I couldn't plug in to confirm.
