Four SC Cabinets but I see additional conduit in place - for expansion?

According to the info provided by Tesla themselves, this is supposed to be a 8-station SpC, so maybe they decided to pull back to four during construction and just leave the capability to expand at a future date. It could also be the case that the property owners decided that they didn't want to commit that many parking spaces at this time. It's definitely not one of the more "chock full o' amenities" locations, but fast juice is fast juice.
It is eight stations. Four SC Cabinets and the stalls are 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B, 3A, 3B, 4A, and 4B.
There are additional conduit "stubs" in the enclosure, wide ones. Can't see the entire inside thru the gate gap.

Hmm. . . No one has had occasion to comment here in over a year.
I guess the site must be working fine all that time.
I charged up at Channelview Supercharger today. One other Tesla was there. It is working just fine. The people in the Holiday Inn Express are very nice to Tesla drivers. It has a spaceous, quiet lobby in which to sit and look at your phone for 30 or 40 minutes.
Speaking of nice, I remember the last time I charged here, abouit a year ago, the young lady in the bar and grill brought me a coffee. It was a nice gesture on her part.

I stayed there last week. They sent me the usual customer survey, which I filled out and made sure that they knew that I stayed there because of the Supercharger in their back yard. Also, the hot tub is not hot.
The front desk checkin folks were new and didn't seem to know how to set me up with a room, never mind what a Supercharger was. The morning checkout lady seemed a little more on top of things but the Supercharger was something from a different planet than hers.
It's actually a Holiday Inn, not a Holiday Inn Express. HIE gives you a free but "worth twice the price" breakfast. HI will sell you an overpriced mediocre breakfast. We ate breakfast at Jack In The Box down the street.
The bar is nice.

Agreed.
This is without a doubt the oddest supercharger to get to.
I just did a 6,000 mile road trip from Charlotte to LA, out I-10 and back I-40. Stopped at over 50 superchargers (didn't have to, just wanted to say I'd hit them all).
As others on the thread have mentioned, you have to get off the interstate way early. Because I got there after dark, I missed the only hotel driveway, and what I thought would be a second driveway was just a closed gate to something else. Had to do a 3-point turn and go the wrong way back up the one-way street for a hundred feet or so.
Maybe I'm just a soft, spoiled late adopter, but to all you pioneers who were just happy when this site opened, Tesla needs to start making superchargers more like convenience stores, or put them at existing convenience stores. If you're going to stay at a hotel anyway, all you need is a Destination Charger, or any old J1772 charger really.
