Looks like construction is underway!

Stopped by the Dwight charging installation yesterday. No workers there yesterday afternoon but it looks like they have been making progress with running the conduit. there was a semi blocking the site, so I couldn’t get any good pictures. Next time.

Went by today and they were working on it in the breaker cubicles. Sure looks like they’re putting on the finishing touches. Nice convenient location less than a minute off the expressway.

Lights aren’t on yet but barricades are down. Getting real close!

Anybody been by and tried to charge? Looks close?

Tried last night. No go. Looks like they may be waiting on a transformer.

Utilities/suppliers must have a bottleneck somewhere in the supply chain. Brentwood near STL is the same story, station is finished except for that minor little bit. Same story as everywhere else I suppose, demand suddenly skyrocketed, you all saw it

Went by yesterday and doesn't look like anything had changed. Still waiting on that second transformer

Still the same status today, looks like they are missing ComEd transformer. As mentioned earlier seems to be a common problem at other sites as well. They did have 2nd light pole mounted now.

Went by today and it is unchanged. Trash can still where the transformer will go

Transformer is installed but still not up and running. Plugged in just to try and nothing.

No need to bother trying to plug in to see if they are powered. If the TESLA letters are not illuminated then the stall is not powered up an functional. This is a convenient visual check for the V3 superchargers to know if one of the cabinets is down as the four stalls connected to it will all not show logos while all the others will be illuminated.

There could be more delays with the utility company getting final electrical check/connection powered up epending upon how much the local utility company has sent crews down to the Louisiana gulf coast to help with the severe damage from recent hurricane. In those situations no urgent items like this could go to the bottom of the priority list for them to address.

I was making a trip to central Illinois today and stopped by the Casey's. ComEd was doing some work so it looks like things are moving along again on bringing this site online.

 

[PKPowerhouse]

Anyone have any updates?

Still not powered up as of tonight.

I believe this supercharger is open. Shows up as a supercharger on my car screen.
