Jeeeez. That's an eye opening indicator of how long this has been in progress/delayed.The power company has a 1000 KVA Xformer in the yard that Tesla already paid for 3 years ago.

They have been busy in Washington and Oregon where they are based. It would have been a stretch for them to work this far away from home base. Not an excuse but probably just over zealous.I wonder what happened to the contractor that pulled the permit?
I wouldn't say best for all the people all of the time, but best utility for pure refueling stops.And actually it’s been longer than that. I’ve been retired from the power company for 2 years. We met with the head of the Tesla supercharger team years before I retired. They had hosts back out. They looked for new hosts. Then Town Pump figured out that they would host the charging and just sell convenience store items. These are the best locations, so it’s good that the superchargers are adjacent to the Town Pump stations.
SC at the same stores can get monotonous, but having 24/7 restrooms is really appreciated when driving late at night.I wouldn't say best for all the people all of the time, but best utility for pure refueling stops.
My wife is already sick of Sheetz gas stations from a single trip to Pittsburgh in our Kona, having charged 5 times total at 3 of them.
You think she is sick of Sheetz?I wouldn't say best for all the people all of the time, but best utility for pure refueling stops.

Starling has been pretty common for Tesla to send data back to home base. Sometimes there are open to Tesla owners, sometimes not. Usually rural locations with no cell signal.Talking to the guys, they said there will be a camera to monitor idle parking and integrated wifi. Have all new locations been equipped this way? I don’t even try to find WiFi anymore.
WiFi service at all new sites is standard these days - how accessible/useful it is to customer vehicles is evolving. Some sites allow the cars to connect to the site WiFi, but there is no internet service accessible on that WiFi connection. So, if you get to site and want to watch Netflix and it's not working... check to see if the car as connected to the supercharger WiFi and disconnect from it to see if that solves the problem.Talking to the guys, they said there will be a camera to monitor idle parking and integrated wifi.

Cameras to monitor the idle situation is definitely new and could be interesting. I could only see them charging people who unplug and stay in the spot because otherwise depending on how they park they might not have access to license plate info. On the other hand, they can easily monitor iceing and have a tow called in.WiFi service at all new sites is standard these days - how accessible/useful it is to customer vehicles is evolving.

Cameras, on the other hand, are something I don't think I've heard of *Tesla* installing at any sites before. I can see the site host installing security cameras for their property if they wish.
They could also assess idle fees by monitoring those that unplug and don't move the car by monitoring car being put into drive, GPS coordinates, etc... But that would be for Tesla's only - in the world beyond Tesla-only supercharging I could see cameras being the way forward and is aligned well with Tesla's vision based AI.Cameras to minute the idle situation is definitely new and coukd be interesting.

Those were Prefabricated V4’s!
