Just saw this from MarcoRP on Twitter. I’m so happy about this site. There was a huge gap for V3 charging between Tully and Tannersville.

There's an even bigger V3 gap along I-81 at the moment, essentially from Tully NY to Hagerstown MD. (Mechanicsburg PA is an option but pretty far from 81.) Kirkwood NY and Wilkes-Barre PA will both help in that regard.

I chuckle when I hear people talking about gaps. It is a matter of perspective. When I got my car in 2013 there were gaps. 
Very true. I should have said in the current state of superchargers the V3 gap was pretty big for a major thoroughfare between NY/NJ. We drive it all the time to get to my in-laws and this will make it that much better!

I got my car in 2013 as well, and yeah, those gaps were definitely more prominent -- and more important -- than the current gaps.I chuckle when I hear people talking about gaps. It is a matter of perspective. When I got my car in 2013 there were gaps.
Even though it is in a good spot, and close to the highway, I'll probably stick with Binghamton (which is sometimes overcrowded, so I can see this). Why? It is the 1/2 way (well 1/3-2/3) point in my trips to Rochester (from Queens) and has a good diner to fuel and take care of the human exhaust... (was there both Friday and Yesterday)

This is great - Binghamton needed this especially during holidays. The V2 can get overwhelmed. Cars can "load share" between the two superchargers now using the real-time data so lines are mitigated.

That's unfortunate. Do you know anyone who has asked the store owners about it?

I don't but am tempted to go drive over one of these days to see if there's any evidence of a site going in. Maybe pop-in if I have the time.
With this site dropping off the Tesla Find Us page, I was expecting an empty parking lot, but was pleased to see this. I asked an employee and they weren’t sure on the timeline for completion. Very easy on/off I-81, will be great to have online.

Funny coincidence -- I was just talking about this location while charging and having lunch at The Spot earlier today. Glad to see it's moving forward!

Wow! I guess we can expect to see it pop up on the Tesla page again soon. I've never seen one get deleted despite construction efforts being underway. Ha!
My guess is it will be online by Thanksgiving.

The problem of course is that the Bing charger has The Spot, where this one doesn't - restrooms and food make a big difference IMHO
This will be my go to stop - quicker on and off I-81, food/restrooms at the Schneider's Market if needed and (depending on the vehicle) quicker charing too. That said, the original Binghamton supercharger is great as well for the reasons you mentioned. The Spot is ideal if you want a complete meal and I just saw that a new Byrne Dairy location opened up close by to the Binghamton Supercharger as well!
You must be new here.
Good guess for Thanksgiving. They normally have a rush of openings around then. I assume it's just the way they set up the contracts and schedule things with the utility. Of course, with some of the general transformer supply problems, it could be held up.

True - if NYSEG can't get the transformer there, it's just going to be stagnant... The Electrify America station in Kirkwood sat for a few months before a transformer showed up IIRC.You must be new here.

Maybe, but Tesla is much better than EA and other networks in scheduling their equipment to arrive on site closer to the arrival of a transformer, rather than months or years in advance. If the transformer wasn't due to arrive for another 6 months, Tesla would just deploy that equipment to another site. EA, on the other hand seems to order their equipment from the manufacturer to be shipped to the site at the same time they request the service drop/transformer without the possibility to redeploy to other sites that are ready. That's the kind of difference you see between a company that's installed several thousand sites over 10+ years versus a company just getting started that's being forced to spend a few $billion each year, regardless of whether the utilities are ready for them or not.
