Supercharger - Waller, TX

[saltsman]

From the photo in #11, it looks like there will be a lot more than 3.

Looks like a total of 16 chargers in 4 pre-fab units. Photo taken on March 14 (today).

Sure wish some were pull-through spaces for towing trailers, but any Supercharger at a Buc-ee's is a welcome addition.

Wow. I hope that’s a sign of what’s to come at other Buccees

looks like a nice spot as well, much less likely to get ICEd

Charger cabinets and pedestals install look complete and transformer pad is ready to accept the big green box.

Are those red posts structurally anchored to the ground or can they easily be knocked over? Because it wouldn't take much for car when trying to back in to easily jump the curbs and ram into those cabinets.

The bollards look like they are bolted to the concrete sidewalk as to what they typically are set into the ground.

 

[Guacahummus]

Think these are the prefab units

Congrats to Buc-ee's to do the Supercharger installations right and fast. This will probably do more for Tesla EV adoption that anything before in Texas. After all, everyone wants to stop at Buc-ee's already, so....

Damn! Was planning on charging there in a couple of weeks. Fingers still crossed ...

I hadn’t realized that they’ve made such rapid progress on this location. I tried to plug in but no juice.

No movement at site as it’s still lacking a transformer.

Shortage of Electrical Transformers May Cause Construction Delays - O'Dell Engineering, a Westwood company

With the demand for new homes as strong as it has been in many years, there are many factors now affecting the delivery of new home construction. Shortages of labor and materials have driven prices higher and extended lead times for construction. One of the most significant shortages relates to...

Today, a crew of 3 pulling cable through conduits. No transformer yet. The guy in orange said they have another few days work, another week or so for the transformer. Two to 3 more weeks before completion. He didn’t mention inspections or Tesla checkout. I’d guess 4 weeks before somebody charges here.

 

[STDRDC13]

The broken record is back to let you know there’s still an empty transformer pad awaiting it’s companion to be delivered.

There is one for Tesla, it's just not accurate and needs to be updated. It's listed as "Waller" and the plug type is a regular Tesla instead of Tesla(fast). It's also marked as "restricted" for some reason along with some other missing information.

The Waller Buc-ee’s site is listed on Plugshare as “Coming Soon”. If you don’t see this, select “Filters”, enable “Tesla” and “Coming Soon” options.

The world is as it should be.

Edit: change “Tesla (Fast)” to “Tesla”
