Looks like they started installing the transformers this morning. Lots of activity around the Superchargers and there are now multiple large cables coming out of the conduits in the transformer pad.

How will we know when its live? Traveling from Sacramento tomorrow and it would be mighty convenient

The usual sequence is:

1. It gets turned on. At this point the only way you'll know is if you happen to drive over there and see the pedestals lit up and/or you get a charge.

2. It shows up on the in-car nav database. There's a bit of a twist to this, because your car only refreshes its local copy of this data periodically. Usually seems to happen within a few hours of 1 above.

3. Around this time, it might also show up in the mobile app if it happens to be one of the 10 closest Superchargers (<-- note this used to be the 4 closest Superchargers, but app version 4.8.0 now shows 10).

4. Finally shows up on the Tesla "Find Us" map with correct location, amenities, etc. This usually takes a few days.

There are often exceptions to this sequence, but it usually goes something like that.

Declarations of liveness on TMC ideally include a photo of your car charging from the site.

Thanks for the info!
 
The Cottonwood Superchargers are not showing up in navigation yet, but they appear to be live as of 5/4/22. I noticed the pedestals were lit up when I drove by tonight, so I tried one out and it was working.
