Amen, Brother TaoJones! Ice-free winter routes are very important issue for many of us, AWD or not! I'm waiting for both I-10 and for 101 on the northern CA coast (as an alternative to the mountain passes in I-5).

So close but yet so far to close the I-10 Supercharger Wasteland gap!
Just 412 miles from Sweetwater to El Paso and 316 from there to Tucson (less to Benson, even). I realize that's cheating somewhat as this approach still leaves a large void along I-10 to San Antonio, but hey, at this point, anything would be good.
One wonders if El Paso to Albuquerque is in the cards at some point. The whole point of connecting I-10 is to keep drivers out of as much bad wx as possible, so there's that.
Will be very glad to not have to contend with tornado alley through Oklahoma and black ice-prone I-40 through the high deserts of TX, NM, and AZ, once I-10 is lit up.

Yes I'm just waiting for the other permits on the way to Tucson. It's set for this year, 2016 but seems to be forever waiting.

Stopped by the location on my way to Dallas. The Sweetwater location still requires a lot of work before opening. I'll stop by Cisco tomorrow and hope for much more progress there!

OK.
Stalls with cables: check
Overhead lighting: check
Construction area cleared?
Transformer?
Buzzing Transformer?
Meter?
Power?
The container is being picked up. Not clear if transformer is buzzing. Meter seems to be running.

Yes handicapped spot. Two spots are general 30 minute parking. Rest are tesla charging only
I talked to front desk. They said the crew left Friday but didn't tell them if it was ready. They asked if I knew how to see if it worked and I said only with my Tesla. They took my number and said they would call when they found out.
I thought that once it was ready the Tesla logo was illuminated on the charging pedestals... (Or does that happen before the final switch is turned on?)
OK, thanks for the info. How does that work for chargers - same as parking spots? I.e., can that charger can only be used by folks with handicapped tags?
Yeah not sure. This was the first yet to be officially opened supercharger I've been too, so I am not sure. But to the eye it looked ready. But I couldn't tell if transformer was making any noise or if it should have.
