Supercharger - Pearland, TX

[Abraham]

Stalls are being unpacked

(Sorry about the rushed wonky pics, it’s a one lane with other cars and my phone didn’t focus in time)

Two banks of pole mounted transformers have been installed and are ready with the fuses hanging.

Pedestal bases have been poured, and the rebar is going in for the parking stalls now.

Any news if the Bucees in Tx City down 45 will get any super chargers?

Not likely, as the new Tesla store in League City will add superchargers to that part of the Gulf Freeway. From the Rudy's to that Buc-ee's, it's not more than 5-7 minutes exit to exit.

And based on your photos, we can probably increase the charging stalls from 12 to 16 as there are 4 Charging cabinets visible.

4 per from what I can see when I charge so 16 is our number. That's much better than I expected...should be fine for us 288 southers'. Can't believe they only gave Sugarland 8.

Any updates on this one?

I drove by last week and crew was pulling wire and also noticed the concrete for parking stalls was complete. The transformers already being installed is a great milestone to have complete.

16 stalls coming along nicely:

Based on the pictures (and the SC Cabinets location) it appears the equipment pad has yet to be poured...they were making great progress, wonder what has slowed them down?

Is it me or does it appear that there isn't enough room for 2 Walt traffic back there? Definitely no room for queueing. Y'all play nice out there

Yup, only one car wide right now. Thankfully not too much traffic, but it has been a little difficult to slow down for pics without annoying people behind me/waiting for me to pass.

Once the fence goes away, it’ll be 2 car wide again. Although, maneuvering to charge will slow down traffic in the future, I bet.

The equipment pad appears to have been poured and the SC cabinets were being set in place today.

Folks looks like we are weeks or days away from go-live. Rolled by today and it looks all set. Probably some inspections due but no way we are not charging by mid-October.

Utility power is hooked up and meter has been installed along with the fuses.

It appeared that Tesla commissioning agents were on site

I just left this supercharger and the technician that is currently on-site says that this site should be open and online later today or tomorrow. I'll drop back by later today to check.

You and a technician were onsite this morning at 05:45?

Dedication on the part of both of you.

Lol, in route to my dessert shop this morning I did drop by at 5-ish and two technicians were on-site. I have two Teslas at home sharing one charger, so I've been waiting and watching this station patiently, lol. Yesterday there were a few yellow cones blocking the road in front of the superchargers when I dropped by but the site looked ready like it would be going live wny day, so I said ai would check this am. This morning those yellow cones were not there, so I took a shot at checking with the two guys on-site to see if the site was up.

What is amazing anyone working at 5 am in the morning (unless it is a road construction work that would block too much traffic during day). I bet they are not Govt employees.

I have 2 Teslas and use the NeoCharge smart splitter on the NEMA 14-50 plug that we have in the garage. This works well and there's no swapping required. Does require 2 mobile connector cables but is a good option if you have 2 Teslas and want to home charge daily.

Checked yesterday, still not open.

Good news! I'm here now and ithe chargers are now charging! However, the station is not showing up on the Tesla onscreen map as of now. Happy charging!
