I'm a little stumped on this one. There are no existing businesses at 8811/8813 - that number would be in the area of the Metropark Square sign between the Black Bear Diner and the road. Ignoring the Valero thing, these parking spaces along the frontage road would be ideal for a Supercharger.

After a bit of poking around on Street View, I think this is the likely location. This is just <1 mile north of the location that just started construction.

 

[Guacahummus]

Agreed, I was going to suggest close to where the Honda Fit is

This one makes no sense...there's one just up the service road on the same side that's under construction like less than 1/2 mile.

The TDLR does not state specifically that it's a Tesla location. Perhaps it's a Rivian location, or some other kind of charger.

Construction almost complete Portofino Shopping center just before discount tires on the feeder of I45, pics to follow in a few if I'm allowed to post

Can anyone tell if the adaptor on the superchargers allows non-Tesla vehicles & short of taking my MY2022 MP3 to check when they go live any way of knowing what kWh they are?

No Superchargers in the US are open to non-Teslas at this point.

These will likely be 250 kW V3 units, which is all (with extremely rare exception) Tesla is installing these days. V4s will be coming later this year.

How odd. Maybe a service center or showroom is planned.

Stolen from FB. Not the best angles, but looks to be right in front of Martinis and Manicures. I couldn't get a good count from the pics either.

I think they mean two sets of four - eight supercharger stalls.

There are 8 stalls, 2 sets of four. I took this picture on Saturday.

Underground boring contractor onsite this morning trenching from the Pre-Fab SC Units to the switchgear located in the cloner of the parking lot closer to the large billboard sign pictured in post #13. Unclear if this will be a pad mount or pole mount transformer setup. I'm leaning towards a pole mount setup just as the SC south of this location by Car Toys.

 

[STDRDC13]

Did a drive-by inspection and notice the heavy equipment has been removed and it appears all the underground wiring has been ran from the charging cabinets to the switchgear near the road. I did also notice there were 2 utility poles delivered to the site and were laying in the ditch by the road.

More than 3 months since construction started..?

Utility company is onsite setting poles and transformers….and causing hella traffic on the service lanes.
