    There is evidence that concrete is poured now. If the temperatures hold out, I'm guessing done in 3 weeks online in five.

    My take is they will wait until Monday to start pulling wires then spend the week doing electrical. They will possibly do the enclosure the following week, so energized in two weeks.

    I was at the Clearwater charger today and the concrete all set up and the electricians are running the wires. I asked the electrician about when it would be done and he didn't know. Another month?

    Wonderful!! Where is the next one going to be built? Alexandria? Fargo? Maybe several in one shot along 94 going west?

    I'd guess they will keep migrating West or start branching from Montana and meet in the middle. My guess is Alexandria next and then Fargo. I need the whole ND stretch to get filled in by the time I get my 3 in ~year. Otherwise my family will just tease me about this new car I bought that I couldn't take to visit them.

    Charged here last night for the first time in a long time. First tried tower 3B but the cable would not fully seat into the port. Charging never started (car kept reporting 'open charge port' - it was open!). Tried forcing it in deeper about 4 times. Never got any green 'charging' lights on the port ring. Finally switched to 4B and everything went fine. Don't know how often these chargers get any TLC, but Tower 3B at Clearwater definitely needs some! Anyone know how else I can report this?

    It probably has a pin "dead-front" stuck in it that came off of someone's charge port. You can often get them out by just tapping the handle against something while holding it point down. (Other times it takes more work to get them out.)
