This is gonna sound stupid. But I swung past there yesterday evening out of curiosity and looked at them.

They’re all wrapped up in white, fine. But there’s no actual Tesla logo anywhere. Um. We’re sure these are Tesla SC’s?

Either that, or somebody else is installing a 16-stall CCS charging location that has ripped off Tesla's prefab Supercharger design.
 
No problem, guys. Was just a bit confused 🤪. And now I know what a prefab Supercharger looks like, half-way through installation!

It's getting insane with SC's around here. Menlo Park Mall, Avenel, down the Rt. 1 at the Wa-Wa, Rt. 9 at the Wa-Wa, Rt. 35 on the north side of the Raritan, Cranford at the Garden State, Union on Rt. 22, two in East Brunswick, one going up in North Brunswick, another one already up in North Brunswick, all within a half-hour of where I live. At this rate, there's going to be more SCs than gas stations around here. There're almost more in Central NJ than there are in NYC!

That's not a bad thing, of course. But it's sure a far cry from what it looked like back in 2018 when the SO and I got the M3.

Wonder if these new stations will come with the Magic Jack?

Plus like 12 or 16 going in Clark. Cranbury is in the ground,perth Amboy is open. I think there's so many apartment dwellers using them they need all these around here
 
Are they usually wrapped up like this before they are open? The one by the Wawa on US 1 wasn't wrapped like this during construction but, I'm not 100% certain. Could they be rolling out magic docks at this location? All I know is that Edison has had a huge increase of Tesla ownership around this area. If you've been by the H-Mart/Paris Baguette area you'll see tons of Teslas.
 
OK. I was bored today, so took a drive over to see if there were any changes. On the one hand, no: Everything is unchanged and still wrapped up:

So, for those of you who don't know, this area, now home to a Sam's Club, a Top Golf hitting pavilion, a half-dozen restaurants (and more coming), is still hugely empty, and was, at one time, a Ford manufacturing plant where, no kidding, they used to make Escorts and such. My SO, who's an Industrial Engineer, once took a tour of the place back when it was cranking cars. It's all gone now, of course, and there's a bit of irony with a Supercharger going in on the premises.

But the irony meter wrapped its pointer around the peg when I spotted this, across the way:

Um. "Supercharged"? So, I went over for a closer look:

Flashing lights through the window. Something about a restaurant. So, went and looked it up.
Two, count them, two Electric Go-Kart racing tracks, video games, bumper cars, and other adult/kid entertainment. There were a hundred+ cars or so parked about the place, so looks pretty busy.

So, when one goes in for a Supercharge, a short walk over and one can get Supercharged! 😁

I wonder if the Trademark Police need to get involved.. hope not, it's just too funny.
