Hard to say. Sometimes they go really quickly. A couple of examples in NC went less than 3 weeks from construction start to operation.
Hopefully it won't be like chapel Hill where it took them from may until the end of July to turn the damn SC on after it had been completed lol I'd love to know what exactly happened there
Chapel Hill was worse than that. It was ready in February, but correcting a building code issue took 6 more months.

I live in the metropolitan building and own a Tesla and we are being told it will open at or around the end of March.
Sure will be one of the nicest Supercharger views around. Pretty good location too.
A bit nit-picky, but I would have preferred the Target parking garage over this one. Just a lot more traffic and levels to climb that make accessing the stalls a bit more challenging. That being said, it's not like I'll ever use these as I live pretty close by.
Any way to tell if these are normal Superchargers or the urban variant? I'm not even sure they're doing those anymore.

I went by this site after work today. Not much noticeable progress since @airj1012 's picture back on Feb.8, but you can look forward to charging here at dusk.
Haha. I went by yesterday as well. Like you mentioned, not much happening here, at least on the top floor. Imagine there is some work to be done bringing the wires up to the top floor. That being said...they have been here since 02/08. Before and after (first picture vs last picture). There were 4 cabinets next to each other, and now there are only three. Progress!

I was biking along Little Sugar Creek Greenway yesterday, and road over to check this out. Those dark gray raised conduits you can see in @CorynNC 's pictures have slots for 16 pedestals, 8 on the section on the long side, and 8 on the end. I guess the transformers will sit in between the two sections.
I still wonder why they are putting so many stalls at such an inconvenient location. The traffic just getting through the first floor of the deck, near Trader Joe's, is horrendous. Maybe the building is subsidizing them for residents?

I agree a bit with the location. I wish Tesla would use a bit more local knowledge when selecting locations. Personally I would have picked the Target parking garage over this location. Target's garage doesn't contain as much congestion, its shorter (less time to the top, if that's even needed - lots of empty spaces), and I think Target is a better "convenience store" which is more similar to a gas station.
Doesn't look like anything has changed. Although potentially new wire spools since 03/05 update (although they could have just moved). Maybe a new team is required to do the wire pulls. Also this was probably known but unfortunately this location won't be one of the first v4 locations.

Looks like no progress (at least with these pieces) since your last visit on March 12. Although they were working on the wire conduit.
Quite a bit of progress. I've never seen an installation like this. Granted I've really only visited Superchargers in the SE, but haven't seen one quite like this including parking garages. Probably some learners from previous installations. Easier to go through that conduit than concrete.
Lots of room up here. Pretty spread out. An entire corner doesn't appear as it'll even be used between the two sets of 8 chargers.
