That's the one. Pins are usually centered on the city until the supercharger opens up and they list an actual address.
The MN Tesla group had a post this afternoon showing all the pedestals ripped up and removed. Someone in the comments mentioned the company that had done the work messed up the installed and now his (the commentor) company was hired to re-install them properly. Interesting stuff.

Out of curiosity, what is size of the power feed cables popping up out of the gound at the Northtown site?
***Warning: attempted humor ahead***
Also, where can I get the seeds they use to grow those cables? I'd like to grow some of those in my backyard... ;^)

A one-call dig ticket was pulled a few days ago for this site with the "work begin" date stated as today: Search and Status
Not sure if the rain will delay that, but hopefully this site will make some progress soon!

Yup, I have been checking it every other day for a couple weeks and one of the installation techs said it should be up and running before the end.of May, quite possibly the end of this week ~May 20, 2023). I was hoping to watch them flip the switch and be [one of] the first to use it to add 1KWh to my battery :^)
Yea, looks so close! But still some holes in the ground near the transformers, so seems like at least several more days yet…

Yes, I drive by it every day and asked some of the techs on site when it would be turned on. They said that they just do their work and would be out by last Friday. By the looks of it, I don't see much else that physically needs to be installed.
Question for the audience: how does Tesla "announce" the opening of a Supercharger station? Should we look for a Tesla Bat Signal in the night sky? A bolt of lightning over the site? Or does it just magically appear on the Supercharger map? Nosey, err, rather, Inquiring Minds need to know.

It's pretty quiet. Lights go on, and it gets updated to online on the Find Us site and in the nav/app. The only real announcement tends to happen in threads like this.

The Twitter account @TeslaCharging often posts relatively soon after a station goes live. For a recent one I was following it was posted on Twitter the same morning the first person reported here on TMC that it was open.
Swung by on my way through the area. Of note the site does not seem to have its transformer yet (pad under the tarp?). Also needs some concrete work around the posts and for some of the bollards. It’s also not clear if the primary power has already been brought to the site or if that also needs to be done.
