I think you can check your cars map and if this station is powered up, it would show on the map in your car. That's the easiest way to know.

Any chance someone could take some pictures. Has the green Fortis Transformer been installed? Is their an electric meter attached? That would give us idea if we are waiting for Fortis to finish installation or Tesla to energize.
Has Fortis powered it up? Once it get powered, then Tesla comes by and commissions it. If its powered, they may be waiting for multiple sites in the same area to be ready before commissioning.
You keep saying "fully finished" and "completed." What do you mean by that? We don't have any good recent pictures. Is there a transformer? Meter? Is it making a humming sound?
I will be there tonight. Pictures as well. I know whatcha looking for. Started in Port Huron, MI. Took me a few days with the bad weather. Over a hundred deserted trucks and cars between Regina and Swift Current. Drift ramming, all at -15f. My Florida plates are all the talk.

At this time of year, locals talk about going to Florida, not locals from Florida coming here. The talk is probably about what sort of padded room you need to be in
So under the orange tarp is the pad for the transformer. Need that before we can talk about all buttoned up and ready to turn on. Will be around for the next couple days. I will try to get some info. @PLUS EV No humming that I can hear
Looks like someone has recently uncovered the tarp/transformer pad. Maybe that was done because installation of the transformer is imminent.So under the orange tarp is the pad for the transformer.

BC Hydro was there yesterday morning. Guy came out this morning to tell me from Smitty's. Saw me sitting in car. Thought I needed a charge. He said April. as everybody knows. That means nothing. He said they uncovered the pad, but said more work to do.
checked by today, supercharger is definitely complete, transformer is installed, with no meter installed yet and lines a run from the power lines down to the ground. Looks like all that’s left is the meter, BC hydro to turn on the power, and Tesla to do final inspection and turn on.

Can’t wait till this stretch along hwy 3 is operational. They all look near completion. Will be nice for road trips to the west coast from southern alberta
Visited Fernie today and took these pictures to show progress. Both the Tesla SC and Flo chargers look done, but are not powered yet. I presume there will be a few final checks, some parking lines painted, and then turned it. It should be very soon.

Thanks for that update! Is the hydro meter installed yet? That'd be the next checkpoint. Might be around the side/back of the white Tesla cabinets?
For reference, here is an example at another site of the meter installed:
Supercharger - South Surrey, BC
And here is an example at another site where the meter hasn't been installed but the future location for it, pics of these are cools as well:
Supercharger - Merritt, BC
Though that's BC hydro, is it Fortis here? Maybe they do it differently and it is in the grey box on the front?
I’ll be down there this weekend and will have a look.
