I was there today and 2 Tesla Service men were there working on the supercharged. They drive down today from Brooklyn. He said they were “close” to be operational and should be up and running within “2 weeks”

The mayor of Middle Township Tim Donohue sent this to me today:
"When our inspector went out for Inspection on 6/18/2019 he requested an additional sheet of plans that showed “arc flash labels” for the switchgear at the site, which were not on the original plans.
The company provided those to us on 7/2/2019. So, once they were received, our inspector sent the approval over to the Electric Company via fax as they requested.
At this point it is in the hands of the Electric Company to turn the power on to the units."

Thanks everyone for the updates. I check back anxiously for news hopeful they're on before our vaca!
Putting Cape May in context of how long other NJ superchargers were/have been in construction. Sort of middle of the road for NJ. You can play around with the visualization yourself here.

The missing link is the grounding issue between the meter cabinet and transformer need to be terminated by the contractor before Electric company can connect the transformer. Hope mayor is on top of this small detail.
Planning a trip to Cape May for the weekend in the next two weeks. Wonder if we will get lucky. This site going live will crack open Cape May for Tesla owners.
The flash labels are in! So is the meter! The meter reads 000000 kWh as of this afternoon. This tells me the electric is connected. All it need is to ask mayor to throw the switch inside the locked meter cabinet. The “Coming Soon” Winter jackets are not coming out as yet! The Winter is coming, the Spring won’t be too far away! Let’s sing along...

Tesla tech needs to check it out as well. Figures it gets close the day after I leave

Seems odd all this all electrical equipment is out and exposed with no fence. Aren't they usually fenced in? A few I've been to are.
Very much depends on the local jurisdiction and their planning/zoning regulations and design requirements. Some will require fencing, some will require screening with appropriate vegetation, and others will be okay with it just sitting out. This may also depend on the specific site within the jurisdiction as well.

I guess you've seen a few if you drove from Wyoming to Cape May!
