Pinball_player we definitely need to organize a meet up there. Wonder where we could have a sit down and eat....Panera Bread is the Tesla go to for this activity it appears. I travel 495 every day so any weekday after 3pm would be fine with me. Who is going to be the first one to charge there??
I don't think there has been any major progress in weeks. Sorry to sound pesimistic, but one big snow storm will bury the construction site until March, preventing any progress. It's a shame they didn't get more completed before winter.Drove by this morning (Friday 28Dec) and not much has changed. The parking spots are not finished, and the pedestals have not been installed yet.
I doubt it will be operational by end of year 2018.
Pads poured today...blankets will go down tonight for the final cure...then fit-up and power-up in a couple weeks!!

Supercharger with a super-view...
V3 may be just to much to hope for...but...Considering the potential go-live being in Q1 now....here's hoping that this ends up being one of the first v3 Superchargers on the East Coast. (unless they've secretly been doing that for the last 6 months or so in other new locations, and it's as simple as pushing an update to either the SC's or the Model 3 fleet......)
Considering that it is only a 750 kVA transformer, and that gives about 600 kW of power, there is no way that they will be able to push more than about 120 kW per super charger (the 80% duty cycle of 600 kW / 4)
So I doubt that this is a V3 super charger. And what is a V3 super charger anyways? There are no vehicles that can use that amount of power, and there has not been any specifications for V3 released.
This is all well and good, but the power supplied for this location is only adequate to supply 120 kW per super charger port pair. I truly feel sorry for someone who pulls into a super charger port paired with an empty Model 3 Long range. They will get at most 10 kW maybe!The theoretical numbers look good, and in teardowns, it's already been shown that the 3 appears more robust than the current S or X....
You Think The Tesla Model 3 Supercharges Fast Now? Just Wait ...
You're always guaranteed at least 30kW. Each stack consists of 12 11kW chargers (40A@277V), wired in 4 sets of 3 in a Wye (L-N) configuration. The system switches a whole set of 3 at a time between cars to keep the phases balanced.I truly feel sorry for someone who pulls into a super charger port paired with an empty Model 3 Long range. They will get at most 10 kW maybe!

I also wonder if the battery in the 3 can take the increased current...
But if this is the case, my lowly 75D which only can charge up to about 100 kW seems antiquated now compared to the 3! Of course I get free electrons for the life of the car.
