To be clear, your link is for Canadian customers and says "CAD602" for the price. The link for US customers (Model S/X CHAdeMO Adapter) still lists it at US$450.

If they have any sense the spaces will be placed in an area that only gets filled when the mall is at its busiest. If they were deadset on the Mall (and they are) I'd have put it outside of Dicks on the upper deck in the corner or up the side nearest the road a little bit. That's where I park all the time and it's rarely occupied even during the busiest times. And the food court is a fairly quick walk from there.
I've visited the Tesla store twice in the last two weeks and talked briefly with two different sales people. When asked about the timing and location of the SC, they both said "it's going in at the Wegmans", one even saying it would be behind the Wegmans.
Can confirm the chademo station on the far right works with our S and chademo adapter. Didn't record the charging rate, but it seemed typical for chademo. We only needed to charge for about 15 minutes to make our destination with enough cushion.

I've had a CHAdeMO adapter for longer than I have had my X (3+ years) and have never used it. Ordered it because when I reserved my Sig X there were no Superchargers in Pennsylvania. Does one have to have an account to use these things? I assume there is a cost. I've always found a Supercharger or destination charger when I'm traveling. I really need to try the adapter though. One of these days I'll drive to KOP. I wonder if the KOP store will remain as a gallery.
Depends on the vendor you're plugging in with if you need an account or not. For the units at the mall, I'm sure you do.
I'll be shocked if the KoP gallery goes away. Three years ago when I bought my S, the girl at Devon I worked with said the KoP store had the most visitors of any Tesla store. Things change in three years, but being next to that Apple store is probably a gold mine for them.

With Devon being so close I would be surprised if they kept KOP open. Simon charges a LOT for that space. Between The constant hassle Simon gives Tesla both at KOP and LVM (the 3 proposals and repeated stalling when Tesla was trying to install a supercharger in Allentown. Ultimately Tesla had to abandon those plans and start all over at Tilghman St.
Don’t get me started on the fiasco surrounding the SemaCharge units which used to be outside Nordstrom. Donated by the electrical workers union before Tesla was even in KOP free of charge. Protected by a light pole on one side curbing on the other yet somehow a plow destroyed them. Later they were replaced with ripoff Blink chargers. Now finally they’re Chargepoint. Simon also pulled the 120v outlets from LVM. Perhaps their position has evolved or management has changed but historically speaking they do everything they can to make operating very difficult.
Tesla and Simon have a very good realtionship, with there being lots of galleries and superchargers on Simon properties. I seriously doubt any of the issues with the KoP charger were related to Simon. The Allentown ones were not either.
I'd agree that they keep the KoP gallery open, it gets a ton of traffic. They may no longer do test drives there though.

I lived in Norristown and Ambler years ago. “Red tape” is an understatement. It took over 50 years to complete the nearby blue route.

It’s not the same everywhere, but it is tradition in Pennsylvania. I hope it’s not another 400 plus days to complete the supercharger. But history says.....
That's primarily South Eastern PA in the the richer Philly suburbs, from my experience. Here in NE PA people are easily rolled over. The frackers (like the coal mines before them) get whatever they want no matter what damage it does.
Lots of negative reviews on PlugShare. Seems like they are very slow and very expensive. When they work.

Aren't those the VW settlement Electrify America chargers?

I actually used the chademo charger (there is only one, the rest are CCS) to charge my Leaf -- worked well, no issues. Pay with a credit card -- no membership. I don't have an adapter to try this with my Model S.
The traffic in this mall is beyond unbelievable! Ugh! I hope they put the supercharger along Rt 202 somewhere outside the mall.
