    You are looking at Canadian prices.

    Not sure who’s fault it is for the delay. With the government and Tesla involved it could be anyone. I’m sure the fire gives lots of ammo to anyone that would rather it not be there.

    Don’t understand why people expect a press release or personal communication? I don’t see that when a new gas station opens. It just sets up the expectations that then have to be managed.

    The transformer fire blame game has been resolved, at least enough for the city to final the electrical.

    If there were supercharger stations on every corner then I doubt anyone would be too interested in this case.

    Yes, I tried contacting her with the same result. I also tried contacting the Tesla employee, Robert, who has been very involved in this project from the beginning, through the post fire blame game, with no response. Look at record PO18-02289 on Accela Citizen Access.

    Really? Lol. If we had superchargers around it wouldn't be a big deal ...but when a lot of people especially around that area live in apartments and the only Supercharger that is in fort worth has been closed for 7 months that's a problem. So yes, I do expect to hear something...especially when Tesla makes it seem so convenient to Supercharge.

    ooh - building permit now reads "Finaled"
    all the fees were paid 7/19
    shown as Approved 7/24/2019 1:09 PM
    So theoretically that should unlock the related electrical permit.

    One step at a time . . . .

    Awesome. There are some 'rubber stamp' marks in the comments section too. 'Permit issued, inspections final, permit final, closed' ... all in one day span. The electric permit still has the lock, hopefully that get's 'unlocked' soon. If Oncor had to pull wire, install transformers, install a meter, etc ... I would say this is still several weeks out. I believe all of that is in place. This should be a fairly quick turn, for Oncor that could be a week, after it is released. Fingers crossed that nothing catches on fire when they connect the power.

    I emailed CFW Customer Service on Monday, not pretending to be anything other than a concerned citizen, pointing out the LOCKED electrical permit. Here's the reply:

    Good Afternoon,

    The lock has been removed from the electrical permit since the building permit has been completed. If you need the electrical re-released to Oncor please contact our Call Center at [snip] so that we can do this over the phone for faster service.

    Thank you,

    [snip]

    Edit: Status of PE19-02420 is now "Finaled."

    Was there Sunday 8/4. Still not operational. Most pedestals have the "coming soon" cover.

    Visited at 1000 for a fill up. Only problem was the majority of chargers were ICE. Hope the gas vehicle drivers made an honest mistake not realizing it’s open.

    I was there this morning too. On the street side the eight charging spaces are marked as general parking and all were occupied, mostly by gas vehicles. On the opposite side the 8 are marked as “Tesla only“. Just one of those eight spaces was ICEd so I don’t see a big problem as yet.
