I didn't take this photo. Not much to see. Who is Loaner?

LOL, I was driving this loaner car and took this picture while they were fixing my door handle.

Markham site is deserted.
The trench out to the street is now covered.
Large black electric cables are ready to connect to hydro line at the highway 7 overhead power line.
All 20 stalls are up as noted in previous pictures.
Tesla supercharging cabinets are open and unwired, wiring is hanging beside them.

I really hope they don't use these guys in the future. Every time I have been there its just one guy and a slow pace, they where one of the first to start too!

I agree. I've been by there maybe 5 times to look at progress (around 5pm or so) and never once actually seen somebody working.

 

[SmartElectric]

I'd like to ask that we be respectful to the workers on the Markham site (and other sites for that matter).
Yesterday afternoon an electrician was wiring up cabinets in terrible conditions, windy and -18C.
I looked on in concern from my warm Tesla.
That is NOT a job I would want.

Progress is being made. Conditions are atrocious.

I am gathering you work in a nice warm office environment.

There's a bit of a draft at foot level actually, but thanks for asking.

Sometimes where I work the heat goes too high and we can't get it to cool down fast enough.
don't want to trigger anyone's PTSD or anything so I'll stop there.

Good to see Markham is coming along. Might get busted down to the 2020 list.

If you need something in Markham, there is now a YMCA with a charger... KSI.

 

[SmartElectric]

The DC CHAdeMO charger at the Markham civic center is 4 km from the supercharger mall site and is well rated.

Avoid KSI. They already have a number of poorly rated chargers in the area.

With all these Superchargers popping up, I’m glad I didn’t spend money on a Chademo adapter.

Interesting post from the guy who said "Tesla will not open any new SuperChargers in Canada in 2017.

PTSD 85 or 100?

Yes if you don't wish to get off the beaten track, CHAdeMO adaptors are unnecessary. Then again, even on the SC network it feels like cheap insurance in -25ºC when the hops between Superchargers stretch the range of your car.

fortunately this is the Markham thread...in Ontario where we're hella flush with superchargers.
