This appears to the southern corner of the parking lot closest to the turnpike. I used the the existing electrical boxes behind the bed of the pickup and light pole as landmarks and then looked around on google street views. Here is a view from the other side via google

Google Maps

I think the three boxes wrapped in clear plastic could be the supercharger stall parts that are typically seen when digging begins. All just a guess at this point.

They look more like the components of the Distribution Center (large, sophisticated, circuit-breaker box).
 
Not sure what you are seeing is any evidence of construction. I reached out to the Turnpike Authority to see why construction has been delayed and here is his response:

"[FONT=Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial]Tesla is actually doing the installations themselves, so they can probably give you a better idea of their timetable. My understanding is they were interrupted a few times by the weather and made a decision a month or so ago to hold off until early spring. Work should be starting soon."[/FONT]
 
Great news! Latest update from the Turnpike Authority --

[FONT=Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial]They were notified that Tesla plans to begin installation on the charging station at the Joyce Kilmer Service Area on Monday.

Do we need four super chargers within 40 miles in North Jersey? How about a supercharger in Harrisburg PA or Allentown PA. Then there is Norfolk VA that would make travel across the Bay Bridge possible.

A number of location could use a supercharger pick a state, Maine for example.

Yah I know I know ---- soon
