They probably did as the movie theater didn't have any showings starting past 8PM. So they planned for it. Either way, getting firstenergy to connect the service is part of it, then they have to likely activate the site and put it online. Then it's go time.
Just an FYI... I live about a 1/2 mile from the mall, we had a significant power outage in the area last night due a transformer meltdown. Many JCP&L trucks working down by the Fleetwood power substation last night. That might have derailed any other work they had planned for the evening.
Awesome, great news thanks for sharing!!!! Glad to see it will be done soon, closest one to my house and on my commute!

Well I now have a giant pair of sharp scissors. Hopefully by tomorrow this is powered on.

Folks, even if the transformer is powered up, Tesla still has to come and configure/test everything, label the stalls, and sign off, that can take a bit. The ribbon cutting is pre-mature until you see the stalls numbered and lit up.

Perhaps someone should prepare a gasoline filling hose for this event? The filler nozzle on one end, the threaded fitting to the pump on the other end. Place a cut right at the middle point, then install two hose barbs on either end. To make it re-usable place an inexpensive piece of vinyl tubing attached to these hose barbs. To use as a superb photo-op prop, take a pair of simple office scissors to easily cut the vinyl tubing. It's cheap enuf to be replaced for a less than a nickel per use.
Key point: It's sustainable, the photographers and reporters covering the event love to use this verbiage: "ushering in a new era of electrified transportation..." in the caption descriptions.
Cutting an expensive ribbon in half and then tossing it into landfill is not just sustainable!
I have a brand new never used diesel filler hose (without the vapor recovery sleeve around the central hose) which could be shipped for under $20 via FedEx ground. Anyone serious about providing such coverage? I'd want it back of course, so shipping would be on you. Or make one up yourself! Leave the filling station equipment alone, however!
I'm with the non-profit organizations Electric Auto Association and PlugInAmerica. Some of you may recall that we put together the past 8 years of National Drive Electric Week (NDEW) alongside of the Sierra Club during September. Check us out!

OK Unofficial Grand Opening postponed due to non-functioning.
A couple years ago I was on the Grand Opening invite list for the Norfolk, VA supercharger. Day before the event got an email saying event was cancelled due to a construction incident. Tragically an electrician, testing or whatever - no one knows, somehow got electrocuted. Really sad. But point is, there's still a lot to be done before they "Go Live", even if the cut-over is made. They will also need all sorts of permit sign-offs from utility co as well as municipality. And us local folks know how great (not) a utility company JCP&L is.
Still I applaud everyone's enthusiasm!!
