Sorta like how there's no Space X logo when they transport the Falcon 9; Gee I wonder what that is....

If this thing ever happens, it may be worth the 9 hour trip out just to celebrate and party with the rest.

Mas bueno.
Just need the grand opening/dedication/ribbon cutting date once that gets figured out. Will append one Golden Spike shindig thereto.
Funny how construction started on Post 69 at 4:20pm

Ahh, the new Tesla Semi Supercharger to be unveiled in west Texas.
(Don't forget, Tesla is but one letter from being Texas)

Post # 1405 got me thinking. Maybe a number of us drive there to attend, expecting to be able to Supercharge - - - Only to find out that one of the construction permit steps did not get signed off properly and the power is cut until the inspection takes place - - - in one week later.
This is great news! I'll be there on opening day to charge my new Roadster (after it arrives that is)
The nearest transformer was quite a ways away near the propane tanks. So they could be running conduit (burying it) over to that location.Agreed that those boxes look like the ones in the Houston thread, but I'm wondering about all of those rolls of conduit. It sure seems like a lot, perhaps the location is quite a distance from the nearest power. Possibly a good location for a semi-SC. Well, we can start a rumor anyway.

You should.
From here, it's going to be, realistically, 2 days x 2 = 4 days + 1 day = 5 days end to end for ye olde soiree. Hopefully with some sort of advance notice. Could probably shave a day off that, but... why.
1100 miles = 22 hours each way. And that's without the dogleg through Midland, presumably.
That's all easy. Selling a week's travel for 1 day in West Texas to my other half will be the entertaining part. However, there are certain things that come along but once, and a Golden Spike ceremony (for the first and only year-round transcontinental delay-free* route (I-10) that does not require snow tires or chains) is one of them.
Looking forward to it.
* Hanging a hard right at Houston into tornado and black ice country was just a complete pita, Even now the up-to-half-day loss each way is not fun.

Is that a massive rocket in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
Did anyone else notice the woman on the construction site looking at the camera and thinking, "why the hell is someone photographing me like paparazzi?" She's probably telling her family that some guy in a sedan gave her the chills because he was staring and salivating at a Flying J in Ft. Stockton. Serial killer? Nope, just some dude in an electric car photographing utility crew.

Since, knock on aluminum, it is now looking like I'll have my car for it's opening, I plan to stop come via this route: Google Maps
