Here’s hoping! And yes, sounds like it...my kind of invasion!
Hope you’re right - anyone have any insight into how long they usually take to flip the switch once the install is fully done?

Don't think they have flipped any switches yet and there are many that are ready. Might just be waiting for a Tesla crew to do a final check.

Address of the Diplomat Motel was 844 Queen Street East, Sault Ste Marie, ON.
It was remodeled into apartments and is now "the Queenstown Residences".
There's another apartment building built next to it, apparently. (Google Streetview shows the Queenstown Residences and a fenced-off lot next to it.)

Thanks for the update.
My godfather used to own that hotel and back in the mid 1960s, I go with my dad to that hotel and use the underground parking lot for washing the car in the wintertime.
Well, now there is. If you have a CHAdeMO adapter, you can now fast-charge at the Petro-Canada in SSM!Anyone with charging experiences in the yellow box? I'm going from Escanaba, MI to Sudbury, ON this month and it doesn't look like the SSM, ON Supercharger will be open. Looks like I'll need 90-100 miles of charge. in there.

Looks like a decent option. I *did* have a CHAdeMO adapter with my previous X (Sig P90DL) but lost that and other good things in the deer accident in the summer of '17. Decided not to spend money on another with the additional supercharger build out when I got my 2nd X (100D).
Oh, thank the maker. I'll be passing through SSM early Sunday morning, the forecast is for drizzle and temps in the upper 30s. The stretch from Naubinway, MI to the SC in Sudbury is a challenge even in good weather. There are L3 chargers at the ScotiaBanks and Tim Hortons, but they're underpowered and unreliable. But an L3 charger in SSM will make the day's trip easy. Of course, a SuperCharger in SSM would be best, but that's not quite ready, so I'll take this. Hooray!
And more good news: The L3 charger at the PetroCanada in Espanola is also open! My trip to Montreal just got much easier!
And it appears the PetroCanada chargers in Wawa, Nipigon, and Thunderbay are all operational, too, according to Plugshare.

He thought the pedestals would all be up next week but needed Tesla inspection/approval to activate. They have the other pedestals at the shop and will bring them out next week

Unfortunately, don’t those engineers/installers know how to configure these stations? So now, the #1 EV sold, must block the Level 2 J1772 station when using the DCQC. Stupid stupid stupid. Don’t worry, it’s not just them, I’ve seen the same configuration at other locations. Why can’t they put the L2 pedestal on the right side? Uhhhhhrrrrggggg.
What length is the L2 cable? By the J1772 standard, It can be up to 25 feet long, so somebody might be able to park in the other space and use it.
On a similar note - hopefully Tesla gives some pointers to the firms that will be clearing snow from the new SCs being opened up in snowy locations. I have had trouble accessing one of the SC units in Woodstock ON as there was a snow bank between the charger and the parking spot that made it hard for the cable to reach to the car.

I think this picture is from Espanola, not SSM and there IS NOT a live Petro Canada charger in the Soo. Yet...
Sorry for spreading misinformation. The picture I saw on PlugShare was added at the SSM location. Post #130 is incorrect and the photo is of the Espanola Petro-Canada. @Doug_G please remove that post (130) and this one.
