I've been looking at the S for the last year but haven't pulled the trigger yet. I did put a deposit on a Model 3 so I may end up waiting a couple more years for a Tesla. If you see a Leaf driving around town it might be me...

Yes it's a doozie of a Supercharger station with 8 stalls, and they're all pretty close to the entrance doors so expect some ICE'ing at first, but it's a sign of the times, if you look at the distance of the stalls to the entrance at Waco, then Corsicana, then Lindale, you'll notice CSB doesn't mind Tesla cars being seen closer to the front doors
Notice there are now 3 distinct signages with various restrictions.
Also, seven back-in plus one forward-in.

I cannot wait. This will make the trip from Austin to Longview possible without several hours at Patterson Nissan in Longview even though they have been very friendly so far.

Now that Shreveport looks complete, perhaps we will see Tesla come out and activate Lindale and Shreveport back to back. This is going to make Dallas - to Jackson, MS and Dallas to Baton Rouge possible.

That would be nice. I am still a bit concerned (since I have 70Kmiles on my 85) that I may not have the juice (with degradation) to make the 221 miles from Lindale to Shreveport with five peeps and luggage (unless I putter at 55mph ... which is highly unlikely).
Thoughts?
Go ahead and go 85mph, because Lindale Supercharger to Shreveport Supercharger is only 104 miles.

Whoa, wait just a minute.
Shreveport is NOT done and is NOT activated yet.
Without any cables at each of the Supercharger Pylons, might be a day or two.
You can make it from Dallas to Shreveport without stopping at Lindale, but you will need to spend the night in Bossier City (hotel there has a nice 14/50 just waiting to be used).

Any news on this Supercharger? The photos from 4/23 look like it was nearly construction-complete, probably waiting on utility power.

I dropped by just now. It's still not powered up. Stall 4C has no cable... otherwise the site looks totally finished and operational. Except... no power.
I'm sure they're waiting on that part before enabling it.

Hey Martin, has the transformer been installed? Did you see a meter? If both of those are complete then they are probably just waiting for the Tesla certification.
Thanks for checking!

Just for you HillCountryFun I went back there last night before the crazy storms. The entire site looks finished... no evidence of construction at all, so while I didn't see a transformer, I assume there is no major items still to go in.
The Sulphur Springs Supercharger is listed as under construction now... guess which crew must be handling that?
I did go into the CSB and ask the manager what they new about the Superchargers. They said it would be "another one or two weeks before it is open." No technobabble was used, so I don't know what the details are.

Wow Martin, you are the man!!! Thanks for checking and I'm glad you didn't get tangled up with the storm. We had wind, heavy rain and hail last night! I bet the certification will happen soon!
Hey, I'm really interested in a SuperCharger in Sweetwater, you headed that way any time soon?

Seriously, given this charger is closer to Dallas and construction was complete before Shreveport, one would have to be concerned that there is a problem of some kind.
Denton and Amarillo were commissioned on consecutive days, perhaps Tesla will commission Lindale today.

Since Lindale was the sight of a tornado not long ago It's possible the local utility company may be very busy fixing damage in town. I haven't read if the site actually has a transformer yet.
