Supercharger - Melbourne, FL

[MarcoRP]

8 V3 stalls coming soon the Wawa at 4429 W Eau Gallie Blvd in Melbourne. Permit issued July 29th and no inspections completed yet.

 

[MWhy]

Drove by Wawa today. No action as of yet.

 

[MWhy]

Observed a crew surveying the East side parking area on Monday afternoon (3-Jan-2022).

 

[MWhy]

Survey stakes ended up on the South side (rear) of the building.

 

[MWhy]

Construction started today on the East side of the building.

 

[MWhy]

Making progress. Cabinets in the middle and 4 stalls on either side.

 

[MWhy]

Stalls and cabinets look complete. Electric meter is yet to be installed. General clean-up on-going.

Stalls and cabinets look complete. Electric meter is yet to be installed. General clean-up on-going. View attachment 759749

I also see the empty conduits in front of the meter mounting. Probably waiting on transformer to be installed.

 

[MWhy]

No real change. Debris has been cleaned up. Waiting on power company to install cabinet and meter.

You can see that they've been doing wiring work as the big spool on the left is now empty and in your last picture it wasn't.

 

[MWhy]

No change in status as of Monday (21-Feb). This location appears to be in the same state as several others in Central Florida. I believe they are all served by Florida Power & Light. Perhaps Tesla is having issues with FPL paperwork (FPL makes it difficult with home solar installs). Also, this is the time of year FPL does a lot of maintenance in order to be ready for Hurricane Season.

 

[MWhy]

Looks like FPL installed a power cabinet today but not meter as of yet.

 

[GaryW]

Agreed.

 

[MWhy]

If you look at nearly all the Supercharger sites across Florida right now you can see they are all at about the same point of completion. Most are only missing the power meter and final Tesla commissioning. The sites span several different electric power companies (FPL, TECO, OUC, etc.) so it is probably not a power company issue. My guess is Tesla may be waiting on all of them to be completed and then commission them all together in a short span of time. I think commissioning is done by Tesla personnel so they may be trying to have one commissioning team tour all the sites sequentially to be efficient as possible with people and time.

 

[MWhy]

Stopped by today (22-Mar-2022) and see no change. Still waiting on power meter and commissioning.

 

[MWhy]

Still no change as of Monday, 28-Jan-2022.
