I have been by there a couple times. Judging by where that transformer is, the spots are going to be right where your model 3 is parked
That is right next to the transformer. The drive in stalls are pretty far away from that. I have attached a google shot - I marked in Blue where the transformer is. Seems pretty obvious they are going to put it in those parking spaces I have highlighted in purple with the Red where the chargers would be. Pretty simple and takes no major work.But yes, there is nothing happening and hasn't for a little while now - seems like the wait now is on Tesla to start doing their work.

That makes more sense! I guess Tesla is probably busy building at the Northglenn site, or waiting on something.
Stopped by on October 13, 2023 and there are still no signs of construction. There are 3 transformers on the corner, but no indication that they are part of the Supercharger Installation. Previous posts informed us the Easternmost Transformer is new, and looks appropriate for the Supercharger Stalls to be installed along the street as per previously discussed.

I’d be curious to find out after install if this *delay* is the team busy at other installs in the state currently, or if it’s a magic dock installation and the right stalls just haven’t arrived yet.
I drove by today and someone was there putting cones out to block off all the parking spots that I listed in the picture above. So looks like we might start making progress again. I will go by again later in the week if possible and post a picture if there is any actual work starting to happen.
Good progress for this week. There were two guys even there working on it at 4:00 today (Saturday) so my pictures are a little further back, as I felt weird taking pictures of them working They have trenched out the area for all the charging stations, and lots of pipes in the main area.

New update - looks like we are really close! Sorry for the night time pics. The stalls are interesting - there are 12 total (not the stated 8 on here) so that is exciting!

8 was only an estimate based on available parking stalls. Nothing officially stated 8. Were they all in a row east Of the transformer? Looking at the satellite again, there could be 12 stalls there. Definitely more than 8.
Ah - I thought the permit stated how many there were going to be, didn't realize it was just an estimate
There are 12 stalls - I counted them - hard to see all of them in the picture. They do all line up (actually to the west) of the transformer. The interesting thing was there were 6 stalls, then a bigger gap, then the additional 6. Not sure why the big gap - unless it just has to do with how it lines up with the drive through line at sonic.

From looking at the pics and your car. These could possibly be V4 (based on height vs. the car's stance). The base states otherwise though....so Im unsure.

Gaps are usually ADA walkways or wider stalls for ADA.Ah - I thought the permit stated how many there were going to be, didn't realize it was just an estimate
And west of the transformer is the bank parking lot. The transformer is at the southwest corner of the sonic property. At least from the looks of all prior posts. The liquor sign is to the east so the chargers run to the east. I just asked because I could only make out 10 stalls but black bags in the distance in the dark aren’t easy to see.
That is hilarious - I am directionally challenged I guess - Can't believe I had in my head that was west, you are correct - east - sorry for the confusion everyone. There are actually 12 - the first one doesn't show up in the picture (the far right of the picture showing the most of them you see my pillar and there is a charger just beyond that out of the picture) So while you see 5 and then a bigger space then more, it is actually 6, then the bigger space, than 6 more - but are so far down the line, the fence messes with your ability to see them

My wife was running errands in Rifle and took some snapshots of the station; actively being worked on today. Could see this being activated in a couple weeks. A little disappointing that the long delay was not due to Magic Dock units or even V4 stalls; along with no pull through for trailers either (though with the Sonic’s parking lot I don’t know how that would ever work.

My wife drove by this evening and said they are all lit up and no fence around them - sounds like they are online and ready to go. I may try to go tonight to see if it will charge my car
