Ill try to run by in the next day or two I'm pretty close but its sorta out of the way unless I purposely go by it....theres another in here that seems to go by fairly often as well....Anyone close enough to go take a look at the progress?
That was me. I forgot to cross-post the pics/update here.One of the members spoke to the construction workers. They said Construction should be finished no later than the second week of June!
Pavers? Really? That seems so strange to me and cant say i've seen that as of yet on any of the other sites....I guess it'll look nice. Little bit fancy for...Collinsville, IL lolThat was me. I forgot to cross-post the pics/update here.
They also said the parking surface will be pavers, and that they would be in by the end of the week, if I recall correctly.
If nobody's posted anything by Fri 5/28, I should be able to get another update then.
This would mean you can't get locked out then?
How did you get it for $95?
Pavers'. How European. But I wonder if this is part of "cost-saving" measures. Unless Tesla offers a CCS adapter and are going it alone with their SC'er network they are going to have to ramp up construction to keep up with sales.That was me. I forgot to cross-post the pics/update here.

Would pavers really be cheaper than just pouring a slab? I dont know those costs offhand but seems like it would be more labor heavy, similar ground prep then hand laying and leveling pavers vs a quick level pour? Oh well i dont care either way so long as it gets done. Oh we definitly need ccs adapters. It surprises me they havent done that yet, it would give teslas a HUGE advantage in charging networksPavers'. How European. But I wonder if this is part of "cost-saving" measures.

Not having a CCS adapter forces Tesla owners to fast charge at Tesla superchargers and that's how they fund the supercharger network expansion. I like superchargers more than I like any other fast DC charging station so I'm a fan of Tesla not providing a CCS adapter so they can expand quicker at less of a loss financially. As of now Tesla needs to continue expanding superchargers, then later down the road Tesla can worry about adding adapters for where we can use other DC fast chargers.Would pavers really be cheaper than just pouring a slab?

If I had a CCS adapter, I'd only use it when getting to a Supercharger wasn't convenient. Hell, they could make the cars limit the charge rate to 100 kW over CCS or whatever through software to help incentivize staying on Superchargers, while still giving Tesla owners the flexibility to use other charging networks when needed.Not having a CCS adapter forces Tesla owners to fast charge at Tesla superchargers and that's how they fund the supercharger network expansion.

Yea that's a good idea. I'm sure whenever the adapters first start coming out they'll do something like that.If I had a CCS adapter, I'd only use it when getting to a Supercharger wasn't convenient.

I honestly think this is how most would use them, only in places where there isnt a supercharger nearby. Electify America and others typically are quite expensive charging rates form what Ive seen compared to Teslas rates also so theres no incitive to not use a supercharger, plus the ease of plug and charge, no credit card, no app, etc. It just gives more options for freedom of movement overall....I would support a charging rate limit of 100kw or maybe even 75kw.If I had a CCS adapter, I'd only use it when getting to a Supercharger wasn't convenient.

As a matter of fact I was there Thurs and last night and got some updated pics. Thurs the pavers were mostly installed, and the pedastals and charging cabinets were delivered. It appears that one of the pre-cast pedastal mounts might be in the wrong spot though.Can anyone make a trip out for some pictures this week? A Facebook user in the St. Louis group said the pavers and the supercharger pedestals were installed and they were backfilling the area with gravel. Looks like it might be done this week and hopefully turned on next week!
Do you know if the transformer has been installed as of today?? I saw that was the only thing left and then comes Tesla's part.Another update: The concrete pad for the charging cabinets has been poured, and there's at least a rock bed for the transformer. Also the stalls were installed yesterday.
