Yes, at Woodman’s right next to the old Gander Mountain which will be the new Tesla showroom and repair shop.
Yeah it’ll be nice and take some of the load off the mall location.

Interestingly, this appears to be an installation using two of the new Pre-fabricated SuC modules. I see no other reason for keeping the Charge cabinets separated.
@MarcoRP @mociaf9 Tesla's find us map shows Rochelle, IL Q4-2021. Any chance either of you dig into permitting for a location? 1st. option, If I had to guess, would be in the area of I-39 and IL-38 lots of service facilities there. Option 2 would be I-88 & IL-251 (Love's)

Not only that, the Schaumburg Tesla store had been parking 2 test drive cars in front of stalls basically making it a 6 stall location. Not sure if they are done with that or not, havent seen them the last two stops. Looking forward to using this site more.
Probably one of the disadvantages of this location is that the closest exit is Riverside; there are ramp tolls on the westbound exit and eastbound entrance ramps.
Yeah agreed getting hit with two tolls would suck. Worth it to get off at State Street and go up Perryville.

Good to see Rockford gets another supercharger. I can't wait for the service center to open, as it's an hour to the Schaumburg one, and about 15 minutes to this future location.

I took this photo on Wednesday morning. Counted a total of 12 charger stations with 4 utility cabinets. Comed was there with heavy equipment working across the street at the former Gander Mountain building. It looks like these Superchargers connect under McFarland Road to that building. Hearing about Tesla's plans to open the Rockford sales and service shop here is one of the reasons I placed my order last May. Before that, I had a Ford Mustang Mach-e GT reserved. I live about 10 minutes away from this Woodman's and shop there weekly.

Something happened with the Gander Mountain because the news just announced that a Goodwill was going in that location.

Goodwill to open new store at old Gander Mountain in Rockford
Goodwill Industries of Northern Illinois will open a new 31,000 square foot retail store in the former Gander Mountain location in Rockford!
Yeah who knows what happened. They probably wanted way to much for the building. The only downside to the new chargers at woodmans are the tolls. However, the new 250kw speed and 12 stalls will be far superior then the location by the mall.Something happened with the Gander Mountain because the news just announced that a Goodwill was going in that location.

They probably found out what the property taxes are for that location. And City of Rockford is a joy to work with as a business /s. We have some of the highest property taxes in the USA. That is why Costco built in Loves Park a couple years ago and snubbed Rockford.

Update for everyone. All construction is removed. I’d figure I would give it a shot. Still not online. Doesn’t charge. Although from the looks it seems complete. No more construction tape etc.
Great location I was just there on Monday shopping. Just found out about the chargers tonight Thursday.
Hope they get it on soon. Just went to the mall on Wednesday to charge.

My new Model S has arrived at the delivery center in Schaumburg. I was sent a text today where they offered to change my appointment and pick it up early. So moved my appointment up to Thursday (tomorrow). This was also the first time I was able to talk with someone in the Schaumburg office who seemed to be knowledgable about their operations.
I asked about the fate of the Rockford Tesla location in the Gander Mountain building. He said they had decided there was not enough demand for Rockford and changed their focus to opening the Libertyville location this year (which is also close to the Wisconsin border). ☹

Brought my new Model S home tonight. Only had a 35% charge when I arrived in Rockford. Plugged in my wall connector. It reported about 4 hours and 30 minutes at 48 amps required to charge up to 90%. I dropped the charge max level to 80% which might help the battery longevity. It has been charging so far for about 2 hours. The conduit is still cold. The flexible cable from the Wall Connector to the car is slightly warm. I'm calling my Wall Connector install a success!
Ooops. Sorry, I meant to post this in the Wall Connector install thread.
But now that I have my new Tesla, I'll check out the new Woodman's Supercharger location and report back here when I find it operating.
