Supercharger - Pecos, TX

[swegman]

Does the dig notice indicate that it is for Tesla? It appears from the Ft. Stockton posts that Electrify America will be installing chargers at Walmart in Ft. Stockton. You indicate the same contractor is listed for Pecos and Ft. Stockton. I'm thus concerned that the dig notice is not for Tesla superchargers but rather the Electrify America chargers.

If the dig notice does not indicate Tesla, does it indicate the name and phone number of the person that submitted the dig request to confirm who the work is being performed for?

The dig notices specify car charging stations for Tesla, at Flying J locations in Pecos and Ft. Stockton. This has nothing to do with whatever Electrify America may be doing.

Texas EV: yep. The info from the Walmart people was incorrect.
I am certain that the Walmart contacts - all of them - don't know the difference between Tesla and generic charging stations.

I have found no evidence of Tesla SCs co-located with VW/EA sites.

Model 3 owners are anxious to see this Supercharger progress. They look forward to seeing their Pecos bill.

Has anyone checked this site lately ? With Ft Stockton making fast progress, it would make sense to complete this site with the same crew.

I hope that this is not a bad sign:

Ooops... at least it wasn't live electric lines or a gas line...

Sounds like they requested the Dig Tess , waited for the 2 days, then started trenching for the Pecos SC , and cut the phone and internet for Flying J and/or Travelodge?

Bet they were thrilled.

Sounds like it. Would like to get photos , then have #BlueShift change Pecos from a blue dot to an orange cone on the map.

Anyone nearby to take some photos ? I'd bet the crew from Ft Stockton has moved to Pecos.

Also, I'd bet the Tesla semi needs these two sites to run along I-10 and I-20 .

This Dig TESS call was from the same contractor that built the Ft Stockton site. Anyone driving by Pecos to check at the Flying J Travel Center ?

My sister lives near Pecos and she just texted me excitedly that "Pecos has a charging station now!" She told me it's still taped off, but obviously there is enough of a station there to identify it as a Supercharger. She says it is in the Flying J parking lot, but she didn't take any pictures of it. I'd say this is plenty of info to change status to "construction" @BlueShift

I just called the flying J to confirm, and the lady on the phone said "yes, we have a tesla supercharger now and so does Fort Stockton".

So it does look like it is at least under construction - I doubt it is powered up, but who knows? Maybe the fat lady stopped at Pecos to sing before moving on to F.S.?

Can you get her to snap some photos please? That would be even better!

Bonus for Pecos, TX: even if Fort Stockton, TX is slow to be powered and commissioned, the opening of Pecos, TX would significantly reduce the I-10 diversion.

I am in Pecos today, so I snapped a bunch of photos for ya'll. Everything looks complete except there is no meter installed. I did try plugging in but of course it didn't work...

How often are the charging stands installed on the side of a stall like that one at the end? You'd have to nose into that stall to use it, right?
