Transformer is on the pad. Looks like the connection to the mains hasn't been made yet based on the wires hanging from the pole.
Everything for chargers 5-8 is capped off. Looks like they are wiring for 8 but only installing 4. Never seen this before.

The West Nyack one has been complete since last year and not yet activated, so it seems O&R is in no sort of rush (although I did read that it has some sort of safety concern they're working through - hopefully that turns out not to be the case here.)
I can think of two reasons why this might be happening. First is an overall supply shortage of supercharger components, and for some reason Tesla is sending partial shipments out to sites under construction with the intent of possibly finishing the sites at a future date (after commissioning the partially built site) once supply becomes available. The other possibility is that Tesla has decided to do start deploying some new sites with a mix of V2 and V3 superchargers, and they're waiting for the V3's to ship to these sites to finish construction. This seems possible in this case, given both the superchargers and the pedestals are absent here.

An other reason: Did you ever deal with houses remodeling contractors...
There are many stories of people complaining about getting their kitchen
been remodeling during the summer and still not yet completed in middle of the winter,
with windows not yet replaced and having plastic cover instead, while they already paid for everything....
Just for info, here is the Tesla webpage and the Google map.

Came across this link Supercharger - Woodstock, NB that may shed some light on the delays here. As has been noticed at a number of under construction sites throughout the northeast, delays in pedestal delivery seem to be keeping a number of sites from completion.
This location is a bit weirder because from the latest pictures it looked like, in addition to the charging missing pedestals, they are also still waiting on 2 more cabinets. In all the other locations that have been delayed by the shortage of pedestals, all the back-end hardware besides the utility connection/transformer was fully installed before the sites went dormant. For Middletown, maybe it's just a matter of contractor scheduling? I.e. Once they realized they would have to wait for the pedestals anyway, they just decided to delay the shipping of the other cabinets until everything was ready? Who knows.
The wire wrapped up on the pole was wrapped differently when I swung by yesterday. Didn't look connected, but was tied up differently.
There was an Orange & Rockland utility truck parked behind the building as well. Didn't see anyone working, but hopefully a sign of things moving soon.
