Premier Contracting looks like they have been working there quite a bit today and still at it. Boxes and spools of cable all over. Here we go.

Any pics of the snow pile in Grand Forks? How close is that site to being constructed?

Fargo looks complete. Now if they'd just plow the lot and turn on that I94 corridor switch.

I'm really confused by the placement of the sideways supercharger on the far end. Normally that would be a pull-in spot and the supercharger would be positioned at the front of the parking space, not in the back and in-line with the others.

That's for the new dual charging Tesla upgrade soon to come.. Port will be in the back as well as current driver side position. Eventual plans are for twelve ports around the car to help deter ICE blockers.

It's a way to "create" a longer stall that will satisfy the dimension/spacing requirements for it to count as a disabled accessible EV charging station stall (to comply with ADA and state accessibility laws). Those stalls need to be a bit wider and a bit longer than run-of-the-mill stalls. If they can't make the available space work in other ways, one way is to get rid of some of the curb and rotate the charging post, which is what they did here.

Just hard to visionize in that photo from that angle - but I get it!

Has anyone checked lately to see if the chargers are operational? Tesla’s website doesn’t show it as being online yet.

Drove by two days ago, no lights on behind the TESLA letters. Didn’t try plugging in.

Thanks much. So close!

I think they're wired in series like the old Christmas tree lights. Without Jamestown, no Bismarck, Dickinson or Fargo!

Miles City is apparently in series also. It's an interstate series..........screw in the bulbs and flick the switch already..........

Say, where are those front license plates?

 

[towndrunk]

We sent them all to Dickinson.
