Some work going on by the dumpster, and where sixth space would go is all torn up. Could be 8 after all

The charging cabinets will go there. But the other two spots are a mystery unless the go by the dumpster with the charging cabinets, or over by the truckers spot. This could be a first semi site I’ve seen. Truck do travel thought here.

I’ll like this site as a first stopping point when I tow with the X or when I get the new Cyber truck.

They added a sixth parking spot, and should now align the chargers. They directionally bored the six chargers over to the SC pad. Primary power was bored over also. No signs of spaces 7&8 yet.

Curb complete.

Fence removed.

Wood thing built.

I wonder if that wood thing will be the 2 extra spaces and the charging cabinets be placed somewhere else. Definitely would be an interesting layout.

I'm no contractor, but that would be my guess - wood setup to pour concrete. Would 2 spaces need to be poured separately?

Spaces look unusually long for parking, but may just be the lack of line painting.

I was there Friday also scratching my head on this long form. The conduits where there last week. Now there underneath the dirt. So maybe there going to stub them up into the form with pads on top of this form So I think, like Fredrick they will pour a long housekeeping pad with the transformer pad in the rear and the super charger cabinets closer to the parking lot.
Chargers 7&8 still unknown unless there going to be on the edge by the dumpster for trailers. I see this site being built for travelers more than locals.

need more pictures later In the week. I won’t be back for about a month.

Backhoe looking thing moved to existing parking spaces.

Gray tubing now near wood template.

MetEd on scene but not doing much.

Interesting to say the least. I have a couple clues. the orange cone is marking the black pipes which will continue over behind the dumpster where they have set the Super Charger cabinets. The dirty steal forms imply that is what is back there. There are two pipe looking things right at the corner of the new curb. can't tell if there test sleeves or pipe stub ups, watch them? The cone could also be where they are setting the utility transformer.

The pad got wider, or what ever we want to call this curbing area. maybe back in trailer spot for when I two up in the area???? to small for Semi parking.

The suspense continues......

i was there Friday morning. Assuming it wasn't my imagination, i counted 7 red poles -- the 6 in this photo plus one offset for a forward pull-in spot. Sorry - no photo of the odd bird. Has there ever been a SC with an odd number?

Has there ever been a SC with an odd number?

Yes. There are about 20 of them in North America with an odd stall count. A specific example near Toronto would be Huntsville, ON with 9 stalls. If you want a full list, go to Supercharge.info/data, then sort by stall number. They're easy to find that way. Though, if you're going to try to find them all, I recommend changing the display settings so that it shows 10,000 per page so you can just scroll down fast until you see the jump from one even number of stalls to the next even number, then go back up slowly to look for the rare odd ones in between.

Huntsville has 8 stalls. Tesla made that typo years ago and still hasn’t fixed it, apparently.

Pedestals have arrived. It looks like 8 pedestals.

Looking at the picture with the mini Excavator in front of a pedestal conduit and base. that is on the wrong side of a car. I really do wonder if that will be a semi charging space or is it for a car/ truck to pull in leaving the trailer out in front of the dumpster.

Are there any other confirmed semi charging sites?

This seems like an awfully weird stretch of road to have a semi charging site.

RT 15 is a north south travel corridor. When I two I' m running up and down this road. Its a great mid point for me.

Yeah, but semis? I mean yes, I take this route quite a lot myself, but wouldn't semi traffic be more apt to be on 81 or 83?

Granted, I do think one possibility is that this spot could be semi-related. If you look at the 3D Google maps, you can see a SYSCO semi parked right in front of the future SC spots, so maybe they are building a parking area that their delivery trucks can use instead of blocking the SC stalls.
