Thanks for the photo! Do you recall whether the transformer was in place next to the equipment enclosure?

Supercharger - Laramie, WY

I don't see anything in that pic that indicates progress since my visit a week ago. FWIW, the transformer was not in place when I was there. Just a pad with some pipes coming out of it and no transformer, just like in MitchMitch's pic from a week and a half ago.
I took some pics but it was dark out and everything looked the same as MitchMitch's photos so I didn't bother posting them.

I didn't want to start a new thread to get people falsely excited, so I'll post this here...
About a week ago, I did a drive through Casper and scouted the usual suspects, Holiday Inn Express and Hampton Inn, but I didn't see any sign of supercharger construction. I didn't have the time or range for a more detailed scouting trip since I was trying to make Lusk->Casper->Sheridan on a single charge.

If you aren't set on taking I-80 and depending on where you are headed in the Denver area, I-70 can actually be a shorter drive...and is already covered by Superchargers.
Also, it looks like Rawlins will come online before Laramie, so that is the one you are really waiting for (assuming you take the I-80 route). Rawlins to Denver bypassing Cheyenne is 230 miles which would be tough in some Tesla models, but Cheyenne is only a slight diversion and Rawlins to Cheyenne to Denver should be doable in any model this time of year.

Don't forget Loveland, you can bypass Cheyenne in Laramie and charge in Loveland before Denver. Saves you about 20 miles.

Yeah but, 230 is really stretching it with my MX depending on weather, weight and elevation changes. While you can certainly pick up some miles going from Laramie down to Loveland, it still is marginal. I-70 is an alternative, as suggested, but I hate driving I-70, so will probably wait until Laramie is cleared. Thanks to DC Doc we should have another view of that SC this week. Thanks for the info.
Rock Springs to Laramie = 208 miles
Rawlins to Loveland = 177 miles
And there is also an option to detour to the Cheyenne supercharger if you feel that 177 miles is too far. So I maintain that the Rawlins supercharger is more important for your trip than the one in Laramie!
Kinda. If it is a short trip with the same wind direction, and you are going the same compass direction for the whole trip.
The EV Trip Optimizer app automatically integrates real weather data for the entire trip.
Went by a few moments ago and the man working on the power said it could be be operating by this afternoon!!!
Yeah, you're right about that. Sometimes this is like flying more than driving. Except you have roads. Enjoy your new SCs!
