A week later let’s hope they got some work done after a long weekend break. Does anyone know if tesla contracts the installation out or is it done in house by Tesla
Tesla doesn't maintain general contractor's and electrician's licenses in every state in the country. It's all contracted. In fact, Tesla isn't even directly overseeing the site development and planning or the contractors. They contracted that out too. In the US, it's mostly Black & Veatch, GPD Group, or SAI Group. In Canada, I think it's mostly Stantec now.

As of lunchtime today:
Looks like they're making all the connections now. Supercharger covers are off and wires are being run. They have about a half dozen guys on site, and that's 2x more than I've ever seen at any given time.

Thanks for the update. I hope they make some great process before the snow hits tomorrow afternoon. I think they can complete the construction by thanksgiving and then online by dec 1st. They’ve made tremendous progress in such a short amount of time.

Do you see a transformer and meter? This is usually the big delay. I don't see either in the pictures, and the transformer seems to show up lately long after the main construction is done. Note: Power company provides transformer and meter, so its a separate build schedule.

Good Point. Does anyone have a photo of a transformer? I’m glad it’s only snowing an half day. I’m quite sure they plan on completing this project prior to the next mini storm. Over or under -15(days)

Only one worker there today. Shot some video. It's pretty much more of the same, and I got a chance to talk to the worker. Said he's part of the grounds crew. He says the electrical guys still have a ways to go. Then everything needs to get signed off by the township. I asked if he thought it could all be done by Christmas... He was not comfortable committing to that.

Kidding aside, when you're at a location like this, why not throw in a handful of low-cost destination chargers? Let people who want to catch a movie or shop for an extended period top off, while keeping the SuperChargers available.

I'm neutral to the idea, but because I'm a pessimist in the world, heres my response.
If they did that someone will post the following:
"If you're going to go to the trouble of running the wiring for destination chargers right next to the superchargers. Why not just install superchargers? If you need less you can move the car, and this would reduce congestion and waiting times."
Absurd Solution: Superchargers at every parking spot!
