This one is probably very close to being done. The new Supercharger in Leon Springs, Texas went operational today.

Most of the temporary construction fence has been removed. The parking area has been repaved and striped. There is still yellow caution tape around the superchargers but the site looks to be very close to completion.
Drove by last night. Look like caution tape had been removed from most of the stations. Lights on the stations weren't on yet, though.

I saw a large CPS Energy truck on-site yesterday (4/21) morning.

The CPS Energy truck was on-site again this morning (4/23). A tech, in a hard hat, was working on the equipment.
I have been informed by my friend that works at the HEB Plus where the chargers are located that they are now open! I will be confirming tonight, unless someone beats me there!
Apologies to all, disregard this. It appears my friend was incorrect.
Stopped at the chargers. No lights. Attempted to open the charging port, but nada. Looks like we'll need to wait a bit longer.Went by there today and it is missing the meter.Apologies to all, disregard this. It appears my friend was incorrect.
I just stopped by and a Tesla rep was there activating the site. He asked me if I wanted to be the first to charge, so I did. I didn't need much. The site will be fully active later today.
I won't be charging there very often, if at all, since it is only about five miles from home and I'll charge there 99% of the time.
We did talk about other sites in Texas: College Station, Lubbock, San Angelo, etc. Evidently some locations want big bucks for the privilege of putting in a supercharger. The cost of an installation is about $250K. These other locations want another $100K just for permission to build. Evidently the oil lobbies and the car dealerships are an obstacle.

So excited about this. My office is a minute from here. I’ve driven 43k miles in 11 months. This charger will literally extend the life of my car now, I won’t need a better range car.
They need a super charger on the way to Del Rio, maybe Uvalde. I’ve heard the same thing about the dealerships slowing down the opportunities for super chargers. But in small towns, you would think there should be no problem. I was staying at a hotel in college station with a destination charger and a student was using it. I asked her, politely, how long she was going to be. She said 2.5 hours. They need one there bad too. And Lubbock... its nearly impossible to get from San Antonio to Amarillo.

That's great. My daughter lives in Schertz so I can charge up near her house when I visit!
