That's their shipping cover for the V3 supercharger cabinets.

That’s funny - I probably just have never noticed. Now that we have one coming to the home town I’m paying extra close attention
This is absolutely awesome that we are getting a V3 so close! Live just off of Lake Murray and can confidently say a 15 min recharge time is SPECTACULAR... still hard to fathom that this tiny town is going to get such game changing tech...
Just a thanks to the folks on this forum that notified of this! Just joined today, awaiting my Model Y in Nov, and this really seems like the place to be!

Congrats on your purchase and impending delivery. You will love the Model Y. If it’s ok, let me give you some unsolicited advice. As a long time Model 3 owner (126k miles and counting) I would highly recommend you install a L2 charger in your garage. At home, overnight charging is one of the best benefits of driving electric IMO. Forgive me if that was your intention, but based on your excitement over a SC going in close to home I’m assuming you intend to charge your car there frequently. You can do that of course, but I don’t recommend it. Either way, enjoy your Tesla!
Solid assumption! I think I was just geeking out over the proximity of a level 3 though. I get my wall charger installed on the 30th of Sept!! Now lets just hope that my wife doesn't steal My Y all the time!
She will. I tell people in all seriousness to budget for a 2nd one. My first MX became my wife's after less than 6 months. My neighbors down the street bought a MX and now have 2 MY's instead. When they first ordered they laughed when I told them that they would end up with 2.
Exactly what I'm doing except im going to sell my model 3 MR right before taking delivery of a MY in dec
The Chargers are lit up. Tried to charge but sitting at “starting to charge” should be any day they’re “activated.”
Cabinets remain covered.

Thanks for the update and the pictures. If the lights are on at the stalls then I would assume it is on at the cabinets so it seems like the work left is Tesla and not the power company. Potentially a city inspection too. Hopefully will be soon as I’m counting on this charger for my upcoming trip.
That’s kinda what I’m thinking as well. This area I don’t think technically is in any formal city or town. It’s located in the county so there isn’t much they’d have to get approved that I could think of. All approvals would’ve been done prior to power being turned on. I think it’s just a matter of Tesla allowing the authorization to charge. It could be pending an internal Tesla inspection… not sure how they do these.
yeah, I talked to an installer once and he said Tesla has to commission a new charger. Whatever that means. They even have a commission team that travels around to new charger locations, so it could be a couple of weeks before it becomes live. Depends on their schedule.

Went by today just to try it out… still not ready. Any day now… If I had to guess this week. There’s zero work left. Everything looks final besides taking the cover off the boxes.

Does not show in the Tesla nav in the car yet nor the "Find Us" section of the Tesla website. Perhaps after midnight; the last couple of chargers took an overnight cycle before they showed up.
The charger is live.
Not sure who it is… but could someone tag the person to have the map updated?

I’m pretty pumped about this is I have a bunch of free supercharging miles and I come to Columbia for every home football game and stay within 10 minutes of this site. LFG
