Swung by just now. Looks really close to opening. There was an AES Ohio van and person there but they were in their car so I didn’t chat.

It looks like we're at the "waiting for final inspection" stage. This one will come in handy when we go to Ohio to visit family at Christmas time.
Just stopped in and plugged in, still not operable as of November 1st.

The new trend in Tesla superchargers is let them sit finished for weeks/ months inoperable. So no I don’t think you should have hope for tomorrow as west Chester has been completed for weeks and isn’t turned on yet either

Well that is disappointing. Odd they would not want to capitalize on the assets idlely sitting there. But then maybe it has something to do with the state or the co-op (if they are both going to be on the same power company's grid).

I have a feeling this “trend” is because of permitting issues/reasons and maybe there being only one (or a small handful) of Tesla Employees responsible for shepparding the paperwork for way too many SCs
Drive by tonight around 8pm. The charger lights are still not on, so probably not running. Also no cars there either.
It’s interesting to me and I’m sure Tesla would want west Chester running asap due to the area. There are absolutely no superchargers around and it’s a heavily traveled stretch of I75 and right off the exit. Beavercreek is probably the same as there are no chargers until Columbus.
It’s not that Tesla Supercharger team are slacking off, understaffed or are behind on work. Utility companies are experiencing supply chain problems with the transformers that power these sites, and, more often than not, they’re the cause of the hold-up.

Unfortunately, Greene Country is in the top 2 for most difficult counties in Ohio to get final permits

The Greene County inspector has cleared it for power. Waiting for AES to connect it now.
Yes, the construction is finished probably a month or two ago. But they are not functional yet. Im looking forward to using it as well
And who said Tesla didn’t advertise! These are the equivalent to billboards they don’t work but they do say Tesla
