Supercharger - Katy, TX

Did you see the big green utility company transformer? I don't believe I've seen a pic of it yet...

I went to back the chargers and didn't find any transformers.

I went to back the chargers and didn't find any transformers.

The next srep we should be look forward to is the transformer being set on the pad with conduit stub ups pictured in post #56.

Then the meter.

No transformer as of noon on 5/15.

I wonder if they'll be able to finish by the end of the month. Going to visit family then and they live very close to these new superchargers. Would be nice to charge up there.

I would have included a pic of the empty transformer pad, but the "Upload an Image/File" function keeps bombing out on me?

I stopped by today around lunch time and the pad was still empty. Pic attached.

I went this morning to check the progress and found the pad is still empty. The superchargers now have a cation tape to prevent people from plugging in.

Still empty on Monday night (6/1/20)

Next milestone to be on the lookout for is main feeder conduits being installed up the utility pole on opposite side of the parking lot...followed by wire being pulled from pole to transformer, meter, and fuses closing the circuit making the transformer "hot". Then the Tesla folks show up to turn on the charger.

Was there yesterday and the main feeder conduits were still sealed up.

Same story on Thursday night. No activity at the main feeder conduits.

Exciting news! The supercharger now shows up on the navigation map. They also removed the caution tape but the main feeder conduit is still sealed.

That's a first...never seen Tesla populate the map before the SC is active. Normally is 2 weeks after we start charging that it hits the navigation. It's showing up on the app as well...but with a cross thru symbol showing it is not active.

Interesting twist to the norm...

Katy is showing up in the Tesla app as well. Makes sense- I’m sure the app and car share the same dataset.

The main feeder conduit has been installed! I went to check if there were any power and they still haven't powered the chargers yet. We are definitely in the final phases!
