@BlueShift , it looks like the coordinates are off slightly as it shows in the middle of the parking lot. The actual coordinates are 42.303636, -71.394153 and here's a link showing the location: Google Maps

I would assume this one is actually the Natick, MA "coming soon" pin from the Tesla site.
It's only a few hundred feet from the town line....we'll let it slide.

I found exactly where the photo was taken in Google Street View, a few clicks off of the link above:

I see a block of 4 spaces there, which I gather is being used as their equipment staging area. Past that is a small grassy area, with a row of 12 spaces after that, followed by another larger grassy area.. Tesla has been going for more chargers recently, so I wouldn't be shocked if they're looking at 12 or 16 spaces. Putting the transformer and chargers in the first small grassy area might be tight. We should have a good indication of their plans soon. I'll contact a friend on the Framingham Planning Board and see if I can get the plans.

Were the two other wooden crates smaller than the 3 shown in the photos? If so they might be the pedestals, in which case this would likely be a 6-stall site. The transformer comes from the utility, and is very large, so it’s probably not there yet.
Interesting that Tesla doesn’t have this on their “coming soon”, but they do have one in Natick. Hard to believe that they’re going to do both, so maybe this is that one? In any case there certainly covering the Pike well. Next stop Burlington (and maybe an SC as well)?

I went back through months of Planning Board agendas in both Framingham and Natick, and I found no references to site plan reviews for Superchargers. It's likely that the zoning regulations don't trigger site plan review because they're not changing the number of parking spaces. I did find the plans for one in Seekonk, MA, though, complete with engineering plans. I created a thread for it. Even though it's in a town I've never heard of, I'm excited to have found a new one. Sorry I couldn't find plans for this one.
There seem to be a supercharger under construction in Shoppers World.
Great! Travel to Natick several times/year from NJ and this really helps. Hope there are more than 3 though

Love it! This is 4 miles from my office, and I usually swing by at least once a week for lunch, coffee or errands. I'll keep an eye out for signs of progress and post pics/updates.
That's 6 miles from where I work
It's about 1 mile from where I work, that's why I'm so stoked.
Ah, you're right. That's 10 superchargers (5 cabinets) for sure. I couldn't see the other two crates in the other photos, so I assumed they were smaller.
