Apparently already in work since Oct and possibly under construction.

Looks like the bottom part of the parking lot in the attached pic.

No signs of construction.

As of 4 September 2023. Construction has started

I hope this is 2 of the prefabricated units. If so, it could go in as quickly Livingston TX.

Unfortunately those are not prefab units. They would come all as 1 unit with the 4 stalls if they were, like this:

If you look at Guacahummus' map above, there will be 6 pedestals, then a grassy patch, followed by 2 more pedestals. So, they are all individual pedestals.

Yeah if you ever see the SC cabinets show up with the center of gravity bullseye looking mark on the side, that’s definitely not a PSU or whatever Tesla calls the 4-banger prefabs.

Photo from local owners group -

No transformer yet.

mjdanberry · Oct 9, 2023

Two more photos to go with the on above posted by brkaus that I sent out to the local owners club email list and Facebook groups. These are not magic dock currently. Still missing the transformer

mjdanberry · Oct 23, 2023

Stopped by on 22 OCT 23 to see if anything had changed. Transformer is now installed and big spools are removed.

brkaus · Oct 23, 2023

Nice! Notice if there is a meter yet?

Wow this one went up fast.

brkaus · Oct 26, 2023

just drove by. Very odd, I don’t see a meter or meter base. Transformer installed and all the pedestals look complete There is still some trenching, but it goes around the whole lot, so it looks more like sprinklers. Line.

brkaus · Oct 26, 2023

Ahh. Looking at the pics - I see where the meter will go.

So close.

This is great news. This is right near my house and i gas up my MX5 at this Valero. I had no idea they were installing superchargers here. I must be blind. Lol.
To be fair, the big DEF tank you see in the photo blocks the view of the chargers on Sawyer Ranch road and the chargers are behind the gas station. Its right where the big 18 wheelers gas up. . I pass this every morning and will stop by and check it out to tomorrow.

Its just a gas station and so there isnt really any other places to hang out and get food while your car chargers.

Really need chargers out here if you are heading West. Next nearest is Johnson City if i recall.

I am laughing at myself that this is being built right near my house, I pass this every morning, gas my MX 5 up here and had no clue.

carpendj · Nov 30, 2023

And as soon as its open, i will stop by and test the charging speed and report it here.

I just stopped by to see whats what and take some updated photos. I could not resist plugging in just to check if it’s working. Lol. No power yet. There are 8 stalls. I was concerned about two of them being blocked by trucks gassing up, but they have thought of that and removed the option to gas up. You can see in one of the photos that one of the pumps is no longer available.
