so someone has to go and put stickers on the pedestals and turn on the switch. Any idea how long on average that takes?
Tesla still hasn't got anything on their supercharger webpage regarding this site

Correct. There's a whole process that they do. I had a nice conversation with one of the SC Techs in Florida earlier this year and he explained quite a few of the details...well as many as he was willing to share. I'm sure he got many of the same questions all the time and was comfortable giving me the public information, but he was certainly careful with what he said.
Anyway, they test out the site and ensure that everything is working correctly and they label the pedestals (which is important for locations where the chargers are paired together). The pattern for how they install the pairs has not always been consistent across the country (in my experience) so that's an important step.
The chargers can actually be powered on and working for several days before they pop up on the Tesla website or in the car nav, and it's not uncommon for Tesla to build an entire site that was never on the website as "coming soon."
As for the age old question...only Tesla knows the answer to that one... It's up to the schedule of the SC Tech and how long it takes him to get to the site and turn it on. But...with the pedestals in place you're certainly getting closer.
Ok great! I’ll head Friday after school, cross the border and try to chargeNo joy yet! Well founded rumors st the mall is that commissioning will be this Thursday some time.

Yeah, I have had some pretty interesting conversations going across. They grill me pretty good at the Sumas crossing, and they can't believe that I would actually drive from Kamloops to Blaine to pick up a $40 package. They seen to imply I have some other "less than legal" reasons to go across. I explain I save $30 in duties, it costs me zero dollars in gas to get it, and my wife and I would probably be driving somewhere else on the weekend anyway, so why not go across the border and visit Woods coffee?
Seriously, do they not want me to shop in their country?
They don't get it. It is not a chore, it is a pleasure to drive 8 hours in this car.
It's reassuring to meet another addict. I'm always looking for excuses to drive somewhere. "Electric wanderlust" IS a thing.They don't get it. It is not a chore, it is a pleasure to drive 8 hours in this car.
Or just to visit a charger even when it's getting build hahaIt's reassuring to meet another addict. I'm always looking for excuses to drive somewhere. "Electric wanderlust" IS a thing.
