Supercharger - Payson AZ

I'm guessing it was a technicality so that someone could get paid or so that some paperwork didn't expire.

Wonderful. Hopefully some serious digging will start at that site.

I was there yesterday and construction is underway. Will post a picture later.

Wow they have made so much progress!! I think we should all visit and help cut out a 2x2 square of pavement!

I think you're being generous; it looks like a 1x1 square to me.

 

[KDLRDL]

More than a little going on. I guess given enough time miracles can happen, see the photo.

Now that looks like seriously broken ground.
Something is happening. I wonder if it is all for the SCs?

Comparing to the parking spots in the pictures, it looks quite large for 8 stalls.
Maybe that's just the photo. Or maybe they'll use some of the space to put some equipment, or have to add a tree to replace something they'll be removing behind.

I think size is about right for 8 stalls. Where the nearest tractor is parked they have removed the pavement, so that will likely be where the equipment is installed.

I think this qualifies as constructions. @BlueShift

Here are some additional pictures from about an hour ago.

Okay, who’s ready to guess opening dates? I call either Dec 22nd or Jan 8th. Anyone else?

Makes sense now. The MVD parking spots are still there. Does look like the right size for an 8 stall installation.
Do we have to see some equipment on site that look like SC pieces just to be doubly sure for the orange cone to go up?

 

[KDLRDL]

My guess is December 26th. They were making some serious progress today. Not sure why anything else is needed in order to get the orange cones up.

They'll want to finish early so they can down the hill to warmer weather in Globe

Just to be 100% sure the construction is Tesla related. Highly unlikely it is not. But we now have an orange cone at supercharge.info. The risk of it going back to a blue circle is pretty low.

I would say 100% that is is Tesla since I talked to one of the construction workers who verified that it was for the Tesla Superchargers.

Well there we have it. Done deal. Just in time for the battery degrading cold weather.

This was this morning!!

Good news on the construction but we all know the miracle is the installation of the utility transformer, as is the case with Fontana, CA. Tesla took it as far as it could go months ago but still no transformer....

Great news! My guess is open 1/1/2019.. Also anyone know any updates about the downtown Central x Washington location? Didn’t see if it has its own forum post.
