Well, I was excited about this location opening UNTIL last night, when I heard the US and Canada will be closing their borders. Was planning on a trip from MI to WNY soon and charging here but that ain't going to happen even if it is live shortly. Guess by summer it should be good to go...
It seems there might not be power to the location yet. The underground work is just covered by some metal plates also. The concrete platform looks like there should be a power transformer there.

Well this is disappointing as I could have left the Erie Penn SC and got some juice on my way home. The Erie SC stopped working for a couple of us and we had to move stalls. Now we cant get anything above 60kw.

Doesn't seem likely...the meter is not yet installed. And considering the transformer apparently only showed up in the past couple of days, it's also unlikely everything is connected and inspected. I would say there is still a ways to go on this one.
Today’s update: 1145am
Tesla employee here. The backs of each charger is off along with the white cabinets are opened up.

Maybe final checks? But until the power meter 'head' is installed (which I am sure is not done by a Tesla employee) and the line energized, it is still a waiting game, albeit one that is getting closer!
Thanks for the update!
Are we sure the metre isn't installed yet?
Usually the post above describing what the Tesla employee is doing on site means the activation of the supercharger is imminent. In fact, writing now at 7pm EDT, I would bet they are already active. Someone should drive by and see if the TESLA logos are lit up.

In the picture posted by @CanadaGoose Wednesday afternoon, the metre (sorry for my misspelling earlier--this is Canada we are talking about!) was definitely not installed (I don't know when the picture was taken, but I assume it was Wednesday). Of course the report that Tesla was on site was from Thursday, so it's possible the metre could have been installed and the transformer energized in the intervening time. That would be an incredible turnaround time from the transformer being set and being powered on.
It is interesting that Tesla (or their contractors) would have to be onsite after the transformer installation, but before power was connected, but maybe there was some additional work they were doing, not related to final inspection.
