Supercharger - Post, TX

[MereAnatomy]

When I drove through around 8:30 pm Friday the construction crew was still onsite. I guess because they are Houston based.

Most of superficial work is done as of tonight and sure pulls to the posts are complete, but the transformer going in across the parking lot is still absent (concrete pad and wire is present though).

We stopped in last night. No change since MereAnatomy's update on 12/25. Looks like it just needs the transformer.

this will appear online before Jan 18th - it'd greatly simplify my Austin to Colorado Springs dash across the frozen tundra.

We've made this trek several times (from Abilene). We prefer going through Sweetwater, Lubbock, Plainview, and Amarillo. On the last couple of trips the car has tried to route us through Childress. We even tried it once. I don't recommend it. We have a long range Model 3 and it was a little too close (and by close I mean far) for my comfort. The world's best beef jerky is in Post so we stop there anyway.

Has there been any activity? Transformer or meter installed?

 

[MereAnatomy]

Still no transformer as of today.

Still no transformer as of today.

Funny, the Tesla part of the site went up relatively quickly. Been waiting on a transformer longer than the construction lasted at this point, I think.

Wonder if the utility doesn't have any of the proper transformers on hand...

Fingers crossed they find the right transformer by Memorial Day - this one will be huge on the trek from Austin to Colorado.

Got this from my wife when she was on her way to Lubbock today. Looks ready to me. Barricades are up. No wires laying about. Nothing blocking access. Anyone charged in Post yet?

It's not on the maps yet. Did you or her notice if the utility transformer was there? That is what has been missing for a while now. Should be a big greenish box on a concrete pad.

I took this Friday February 23 has been the same since. Does it normally take this long to become active?

Assuming that is the transformer for the Supercharger and not the CEFCO, that is a good sign. Usually once the transformer is plopped down, site activation isn't too far behind.

Hopefully it works by Thursday. I'm hauling a trailer full of furniture with my model Y up o Lubbock. That stretch between Sweetwater and Lubbock gets a little dicey. The Post charger could really decrease the range anxiety.

It has to be for the Supercharger. That cabinet is not present in StreetView. Should be activated soon.

There are spots such as Ozona TX that have had transformer, meter etc. installed for almost 30 days still not turned on. Its a mystery…..

Dang.

My wife stopped by again today and tried to charge. No power yet. The Cefco employees said it was supposed to be up and running by late February, but had no other info. Don't count on it until it shows up on the maps.
