That's the plan!Well, as long as you intend to replace it w/a Tesla I won't hold it against you

Thank you for all the pictures. Its great to keep up with the progress. I'm thinking the pole mounted transformers are not part of the supercharger installation based on the pictures posted on the Tesla Forum. In those pictures there is a transformer pad to the right side of the installation looking at it from the parking lot.
Kevin. Do you ever use the chargers on the Turnpike? I've used them often and its great when, like you, I want a few extra miles. Obviously the SC will solve that problem..
Very excited about this Supercharger. We were in town (definitely not a special trip to see it I told the wife), so we stopped and talked to the workers on their lunch break. They had never seen a Tesla before, so I talked to them for a few minutes, then snapped a couple of pictures. The photos above are much better. It looks like 10 stalls and I'd guess two weeks until open.

I use the blink chademo chargers very often. They are prone to go out of service for days at a time though, so I can't really rely on them without checking the app before I leave. 140 mph charging rate isn't bad, but obviously 300+ is better! There is a new one at the king of Prussia rest area I haven't tried yet, but I'm assuming it's the same as the others.
I honestly believe the king of Prussia mall is getting a bank of superchargers. They are completing a very large construction project including a parking garage and it would be very easy run available power during this stage. It's the largest mall in America, with a TESLA gallery. It's a logical choice.
I would have thought it's a logical choice for a couple dozen of the new string capable wall connectors (HPWC got another new name) on a few different circuits instead.

The 'string chargers' would be ideal for shopping and such, as well as being able to install large amounts for a fraction of the cost of a supercharger. I wonder if there will be a software update to allow others to unplug your car once your charging goal has been reached. By allowing this along with installing chargers on islands (or on pillars in a parking garage) separating two rows of parking you can increase availability and decrease (some) waiting times.
That's the beauty of the string chargers. As I understand it from the couple of posts describing them, the new wall connectors are like the HPWC, except they can communicate with each other and share a power line.
So you'd have a group of four wall connectors sitting on a single 100A circuit, for example. If one car plugs in, it gets as much juice as it asks for, up to the full 80A.
If two more show up, all are given up to 27A - until one finishes, at which point the remaining two get offered 40 A each.
Set up this way, there's no need to unplug you when you're done, unless there aren't enough cables and another spot is in reach - the master wall charger reapportions the power dynamically.
Note: I'm making a bunch of inferences about how this all works from rather limited data about the new Wall Connectors - we may well learn that I've misunderstood some of this as we go along.

your morning pictures. Looks like they're working on the right side today. Laying conduit/etc.

Unless you are looking for a fight.. I'd skip chucky cheese...
Conduct at Chuck E. Cheese described as 'madness'
13-year-old charged after Chuck E. Cheese's bomb threat
"Susquehanna Township police have been called to the restaurant on Union Deposit Road 12 times in the past year for reports of disorderly conduct, assault and theft. Those calls have resulted in 13 arrests, including six women -- five adults and a juvenile -- charged with disorderly conduct in a Saturday-night brawl."

So when this SC is completed is someone going to schedule a grand opening? If so I would like to know as I'd come assuming I have an open day.

I don't want to derail the Harrisburg thread, but I thought I had a logical site on I-80 given Tesla's planning map, but Tesla's had them join the destination program. So hopefully they already have another site in the area picked out.
I've got a few trips to NEPA planned for the coming weeks, so I ought to just put the grand opening scissors and ribbon in the car

All I can say is everyone taking the pics rocks! I don't know that I have seen more construction photos on any other supercharger. I mean, daily photos!!!
It sure helps bridge the time until production starts. I hope to swing by this weekend again. Exciting to see so many tesla support in this area. I stoped by at paramus store in NJ last night while i was at training there and it was a great experiance. Technicaly they ware closed for the day but 2 emplyees ware still around and invited me into the showroom.
