So amazed that in today's world you have to wait on some plastic stand for weeks before you can open a charger. Seems like Tesla should find a better supplier.

Tesla is the supplier. That’s why the big delay... changing from outsourced to in-house production. That’s the popular theory, anyway.
A darkness has fallen over the Frederick Supercharger. The locals are wondering if it will ever lift.

They are made in house at Giga 2 correct? or is that Version 3 pedestals? or both? I really haven't tracked them that much.

The word is Giga 2 is building V3 equipment. Given the delay in V2 pedestals lining up with the ramp of V3 equipment being built at Giga 2, I suspect all Supercharger equipment is now being built there. No solid evidence of that... just an educated guess.
Is Giga 2 Buffalo, NY? I can't keep track of the numbers. What number is the one in Nevada? Is that three or one? Is Fremont not a gigafactory??? I guess it's giga 0?
Apologies for going off-topic, but this is too odd a coincidence. I had to go from Frederick to Harleysville for an overnight, then back to Frederick. Probably too late for you, but PA Turnpike to Rt 222 into the York, PA supercharger (at a Sheetz). Then Rt 30W to RT15S into Frederick. PA Turnpike is a wasteland unless you have a CHAdeMO adapter, and even then they don't have chargers at all rest stops.

Nov 4th 12 noon.
I think we have pedestals! There are big boxes on site and they are pulling copper to the conduits.

Just drove by there they are starting to install the Pedestals
Just talked to one of the installers, he said a couple of days to install the pedestals and then it needs to be commissioned/permitted, so it should be open in the next week or two.

The Frederick supercharger is being worked on today, November 4. It appears that the charger stands have arrived at the site. Good news!
This is an old accidental duplicate thread. The real one discussing the Frederick supercharger is here: Supercharger - Frederick, MD
@Doug_G can you merge these two Frederick threads. (You can remove my comment when this is done, thanks)
Superchargers have arrived. Saw the first one being installed today around noon. Workers said all should be completed within a few days but won't be activated until Tesla's inspector approves the installation.
DIBS! 
oh. Wait. I should pick an end spot to avoid door dings!

Wow! they are moving fast now. I was just there yesterday around 10:30 AM, and they only had one pedestal installed. I gave them the - "what are you waiting for look". Did not talk to them, but they seemed to be motivated.

Do other construction projects get stalked like this, or is this a weird experience for the workers?

I think there used to us by now. The guy in the white T shirt is the one who told me mid Sept back order on the pedestals.
Tell them we will go away if they flip a couple breakers on before they leave.
Hopefully they are sitting there waiting on electrical inspector to come out and bless it. I should think that would be a no brainier given they had to get a service inspection to get power and this was all that was left. They even have landscaping done with grass.
