You would think that the service center would open there as well. I heard they scraped it though

Did you hear that?! I’ve been scrounging for news on the service center. It’s suppose to open in Gypsum in a brand new industrial construction.

A planning official confirmed that this will go in at the Sonic at 675 Wapiti Court along Airport Road. A second Supercharger going in at a Sonic. I sense a partnership forming.

Across the roundabout from the recently upgraded ChargePoints at Kum & Go. Very convenient access to I-70 and CO-13 to Craig and Rawlings, WY.

That single charger is a thorn in my tail. It's at a point, I'll just go to Salida, UT and use Electrify America and charge enough to get to Beaver lol

More V3 density on I-70 and another Sonic.
Also, it's located at the end of CO-13, helping connection to and from the North.

Ya seriously, you know its bad when tesla owners have to use EA to fill the gap. I am sure tesla has the data for this being a pain point - its only a matter of time before its filled.

Im sure they have it especially if they are bringing on these new manufacturers as well.

Xcel energy crew is getting the transformer finished and has already started excavating trenching
WOW! The Transformer is going in FIRST? That could mean the Supercharger Station could “possibly” be open in a couple of weeks!
I have been driving Teslas for 7 years and have watched the network grow over the past 10 years, and the rate of acceleration in station installations is very exciting, but I have also seen, bureaucratic nonsense drag out for months, and sometimes years, but this looks really good!

Depends on what is needed as far as site prep. If they are replacing one of the drive in areas with chargers they will most likely need to demo that first. If they have open parking areas that are being converted to chargers then that could be a short turnaround. Are there any markings indicating where the power is being trenched to?

Stopped by at the Sonic, and to my untrained eye, I see no progress on the construction of anything that resembles a Supercharger (at least to my untrained eye). The last picture is across the street in an open lot, could they possibly have decided to locate it there instead? The other side of the Sonic has no open parking, only drive in stalls that seem to be very much in use.

That large transformer is for Tesla. They would not have placed it there if that had to trench under a street to install the chargers. Sonic seems to be removing drive in stalls since customers favor drive thru (based on employee feedback on another SC install at a Sonic).
