Supercharger - Minnetonka, MN

[Snuffysasa]

I hope this means build soon! Along with the other Minnesota SCs

Nice. Should reduce some diversions. (Owatonna, MN would help with that spacing along I-35 too.)

Within range of two US Numbered Highways and on the Auxiliary Interstate connecting I-94 and I-35

Yes it would? Ironically there is Destination Chargers at Holiday Inn near Clinton Falls (Cabela's and Outlet Mall area). There is plenty of room in the Cabela's parking lot which very high visibility for Tesla. Also Downtown Owatonna has a Destination Charger installed by the Local Utility.

@Chuq @MarcoRP The "Discuss" link on supercharge.info for Minnetonka's permit is broken. It probably leads to the old Minnetonka supercharger link.

Might have been a duplicate (since merged) thread .. now fixed to link to this one!

construction has completed at St Louis park.

Hopefully that means construction will start here soon.

We've linked 2 permits to this location--1) a permit for the general construction of the EVCS which hasn't been approved yet; 2) a permit for the supercharger wiring which was approved in February. So, it's not at all clear that they will be able to proceed to construction any time soon.

Look what I found!

So it appears to be the Target parking lot right? The Lunds/Byerlys grocery store is there as well.

Digging has started. Even though there is no Tesla equipment here yet, do we want to move this to under construction @Chuq @BlueShift

^ Those two pics look like they're installing a garden. Sure hope they grow some Superchargers in that space soon.

@Chuq @BlueShift @MarcoRP XL energy was on site today and confirmed they have started construction on the supercharger here. Here are some photos. The site is now moving along!

@Chuq @MarcoRP Orange cone time?

@Chuq @MarcoRP Orange cone time?

While your diligence is most appreciated, flags and pavement markings aren't generally considered cone-worthy. When there is construction equipment on site, fencing, Tesla equipment, or something like that the site will get its cone.

@BlueShift Think we need to add a new blue peg...

I think that should be posted to the existing thread for Minnetonka: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/supercharger-minnetonka-mn.170428/page-2

Edit: Looks like it was already posted there on the 13th.

... and there's been a blue dot on Minnetonka for 148 days.

Well this didn’t take long. Stopped by on the way home today. 4 of the 8 stalls are up. Talked briefly to what seemed to be the foreman of the installing crew. Very nice guy. They are from Kentucky. They were the same guys that installed the ND Superchargers. Said they will be completed by Friday before moving to the other Minneapolis location. Obviously the rest will depend on Tesla and Xcel Energy to energize.
