Exciting times for Long Island residents Thread discussing the Plainview location: Supercharger: Plainview, NY (Long Island)

Thanks for the update. I've looking forward for the SC in Islandia for a long time now.

Great to see, I heard it was going to be 10 stalls, we shall see !

There are 5 cardboard boxes of charging bollards in the photo. They normally contain two each, which would be 10. If another photo shows 5 superchargers (if there are three white SC cabinets behind the two shown in their plywood crates), that would confirm 10 stalls.

As of Saturday 4/7 much progress has been made! I talked to one of the workers who said next step is electricians. Hopefully it will go live soon!

 

[Gkrnomogascar]

Progress! I can’t tell if it’s all hooked up but looks like the station could be hours away from going live! We shall see what the next few days bring.

It's a lot more than hours. There are no numbers on the stalls yet. (Sign Tesla has been there)

Have you looked for the transformer, and the meter?
Is the meter powered?

Until those things are done, Tesla won't be able to do their scheduling of a test and calibration of the site.

Building this one rapidly! Now we just need Manorville and Shirley!

Not much progress in the last week. Tesla charging signs are up.... still fenced off.

Looks like it’s ready.

View attachment 297010 Looks like it’s ready.

I just drove by as well and I agree looks ready but unfortunately in typical tesla style it’s not done yet. Here’s to hoping it goes live soon.

 

[Syd]

Again, no shot of a powered meter. Is the meter there and installed, and powered up? Until that is done Tesla cannot do anything, and that is under the control of the local power utility.

Any updates on this?

As of last week there was still fencing around the units.

Stopped by on Friday, 5/11. Fencing is gone and you can drive up and park directly next to the SCs. No juice yet though. Likely will be operational in the next week or two (optimistically).

I’m here now. It’s still not live. Looks great though.

Took this the other day, still has blue tape on top of each SC.

Went there yesterday. Still no transformers or utility meter. Probably another week maybe two before it gets powered up. This charger will help us huge on our trips to the island. It’s about 10 mins away from where we stay.

Looks like the autotransformers are also missing (that last picture), if they even need them. I think 1 week is zero chance, and more that two is very likely.
