Grey Model S takeover at Lexington this evening (about 6:20PM):
A minute after I took the picture, a Model 3 & and a Model X pulled up and plugged in. So I left

For people that may have noticed Lexington has been down to four stalls recently (four dark), Tesla is aware of the outage and is awaiting parts to perform the repairs (supply chain delays).
Repairman is here. Says overheating fan. Did not say why it took four weeks.
Tesla Energy was on-site this morning, 4(ish) of the stalls were coned off. People were charging at the open sites. I didn't do a careful survey, but it looked like the coned-off stalls were a mix of both cabinets.
I headed up to Tyngsborough (q.v.)

I noticed on my way by Lexington on Sunday that the DCFC pedestals have finally been installed next to the superchargers. As I was just driving by, I don't know the brand or if they have been energized yet. Good news for non-Tesla's out there.
Probably undergoing CCS compatibility related enablement - this work appears to have started last month and is occuring at most every v3 supercharger in Mass (and presumably all across North America) in preparation for 3rd party CCS-to-NACS adapters becoming available in 2024.
This does not necessarily mean or include MagicDock to be clear - although that may be coming to some V3 sites as well in the area.
Burlington was also done in the past few days as well.

Looks like the second crew doing this work may be out at East Templeton right now with all stalls showing out of order...
Danvers showed Temporary Closure yesterday, back open today - I assumed it was the same process.
Thanks! Any chance they're putting longer cables on there? That's desperately need if they are planning on opening these stations up without causing chaos. For non-Teslas and for Cybertruck.
For Lexington it seems unlikely they will replace the charging posts with v4 posts. Sites more likely to be upgraded to v4 posts will typically have the v3 posts installed closer to parking-spot-center vs. the traditional alignment closer to the Tesla left-rear charging port. Danvers being one example of a site built with v4 upgradability in mind locally.
