Folks, we have a bit to go ...

Don’t know if this was you but a photo on PlugShare of the 8 stalls

not me, not sure what you mean. in any case based on the present state of the xformers and interconnects early Jan seems exceedingly optimistic, but hope they're correct! as an aside there appears to be a new detached cafe/bakery/shake shack behind the diner, great idea!!

That detached building is the Ice cream shop. This shop was there before in a trailer. The diner claims they were successful so they're building a permanent space.
Quite disappointed that the chargers won't be ready for my trip upstate next week.

I just checked again! It looks like there's a small crew taking the backs off the charging stations and they also keep walking over to the back of the parking lot.

Looks like they are working on the power right now.

When we see them painting the lines, I'll be optimistic.

The screenshot of the bucket truck is promising - I suppose we'll have to see what the webcam brings tomorrow. It is hilarious that we can follow this one in real time via the diner's camera...

I forgot to post it when I first caught it, but a bit more than a week ago I screencapped someone in a Tesla hanging out at the chargers. Was it one of you all?

Well, we arrived in time for lunch. Pulled in to a spot, put the charger in and ................ No Power.
On to Binghamton after lunch.

What in the world is on those transformers?

YAY!! Finally some good shots of the installed back-end hardware. Thank you. It's been super annoying to have the static webcam, but not being able to see the section which is really pacing the install.

What in the world is on those transformers?

That's the supercharging cabinets with the autotransformers (buck/boost transformers) mounted on top of them instead of to the side. This was also done at one of the recent San Jose, CA installs and possibly a few others I'm not familiar with as well but it seems to be a pretty unusual layout.

Stopped again on the way back and got a chance to talk to the contractors. They said NYSEG will turn everything on in about a month.

Looks like they're installing the lighting today

Close.

With Salamanca, NY under construction, I-86E/NY-17 is going to be covered.

I drove by again yesterday, and there was a utility team with a bucket truck working up at the pole directly above the back end hardware. Also went by the Salamanca location as well - drove the whole of 86 just about! - so you're right, the whole 86 corridor will be very amply covered soon. (Plus, the Painted Post capacity will be doubled soon as well...)

Oh Yay! Perfect! Halfway to my sister's house, now I won't have to overshoot and hope the Newburgh charger is open!

Oooh please also any updates links or pics for the Salamanca site? That's another really important one for me!
