I still have not checked out the 175 Century location on the "possible" leaked Tesla future sites yet.
I might do that tomorrow.
I have reviewed all the Building permits for College Station going back to August.. i guess I could look further.. but found nothing.
I'm thinking the location at the HEB Fuel lot is the most likely location to finish first.
It would be absolutely awesome if we had two Supercharger locations in the near future.. but at this progress rate, I would estimate four months to get to this point with the HEB Fuel lot.. if issued a Building permit tomorrow.
So we are probably looking at;
at least Q2 2023 before the 175 Century Square location could come online .. and I think, it would be practically much longer
The reason is Q1 is deep Winter in BCS, and Q2 is the rainy season.. both reluctant outdoor working seasons in Texas.
I mean its "possible" .. but, they wouldn't mind delaying work on something like that.. at those times of the year. And weather is variable.
..
the HEB Fuel lot has additional spaces that "could be converted" but they are disjointed and scattered around.. i don't think they will do that, 8 stalls is probably the maximum for this location.
which is fine.
.. I am hoping that with cross-traffic across the heart of Texas, Tesla will get good data on usage patterns at this location and install more Supercharger locations around town as a transit hub.
The HEB Fuel lot is on the main drag through the heart of town, the Third rail between the By-pass to the North, and the Bio-corridor to the South. It will certainly get used.. but you'll have jump off the Highway to get to it and pass through multiple major intersections in town.
