Thanks for the update. Are the spots going to be watched for non-Tesla vehicles? I don't expect issues this far out from the city but you never know.
PS. How about a Tesla owners discount in store?

That's something we'll probably address if it ever becomes a problem. We have a pair of ChargePoint plugs in front of the store, so we assume most other EV drivers will continue to use those. But it's something to consider, so thanks for bringing it up.
And (as you probably know), we're all about making deals here

Lived in Chicago for a decade and never made it in to an Abt. I'll definitely be supporting you guys from now on. Thrilled to see such enthusiasm from a local shop.
I drove by this location on Monday and would be absolutely shocked if it were opened this week. Based on experience following supercharger build-outs, I would have guessed they were weeks or even months away from opening, but I do appreciate the optimism. And I of course appreciate that you're hosting a supercharger!
I thought the same thing on Monday, especially with the weather but landscaping looked close to done as of last night.

What's still missing? 5 April pic shows transformer, chargers, pedestals & signage all complete. Another poster mentioned landscaping was close to done. Seems like we're just waiting on inspections & final check-out.
Cheers, Hobapolis! Even if you don't have any shopping to do, it's a spectacle to behold. Something new every day, it seems. Hope you can visit some day soon.
Excellent (if unintentional) pun. I'm waiting to hear back from Tesla, but as of 4/09, they had power switched on, and last word I'd heard was: "in the process of confirming the voltage. Once this is confirmed, we will give one final inspection and commission the site. If all goes as planned, the site should be ready and open to the public by 4/20"
So barring any major problems, worst case scenario is probably EOM, but hopefully open within days. Will update when I get definite word.
Got a chance to speak to the landscaper on Tuesday, and the weather has definitely been a pain in the butt. He told me that their "done by" date was 4/29. So it may look a little messy even after it's fully operational.
Attached a couple of pics of the site as of about an hour ago.
Also, while not entirely related, I thought you guys might be interested to know that we also have a Powerpack array. Last summer we had ten installed—they currently serve as backup-backup for our IT department. Some pics from the day they were installed: Tesla Powerpacks! | The Bolt

Yeah, but assume these are urban chargers so they are capped at 75 kw. Not ideal for long distance travel.
I've seen Rolling Meadows full or mostly full almost every trip I'm out that way. So many Tesla's in the burbs this should help a bunch. Could be faster stops than RM since stalls won't be sharing load in a pair(I assume).
Seems like it might be officially open..? They had caution tape up around the stalls last night, but that's all gone now. Getting 69kW currently in my model 3

Possibly from new paint lines. I'm going to charge this evening or tomorrow to see what my S tops out at.
I would guess 1.5 hours from close to empty. Regarding chargers, Superchargers are DC charging which does not utilize the onboard chargers. So it doesn't matter if you have a 1 or 2.

Stopped by last night to test speed. Higher than I've gotten at Skokie. Actually hit 74kW for a couple seconds.
Have you been to Soupbelly? Any good? Been wanting to try it for awhile.
