That transformer is for the building, not the supercharger .You can see it in Google Streetview.

I could see them briefly from I-84 when I drove past on Tuesday on my way back from NYC. They still had some yellow tape around them though looked like construction was done.
Stopped by today. No real changes. Transformer pad is still empty, as well as no meter. I didn't take a picture of the stalls because there were no changes there either. They did not have the "coming soon" covers on them yet like Danbury and Manchester had before they opened. But I think they were installed when after the transformer was installed at those sites. We are waiting on the power company.

Stopped by last night. The connectors are no longer zip-tied, but they aren't yet functional. Judging from the pics above, it looks like Eversource needs to complete the finishing touches.
Since the last photos were posted, the meter and throw switch have been installed, but the transformer pad is still empty. It would be nice if they could get this location up and running; it fills a large void in coverage.

Passed by this afternoon, and the chargers are live!
Site changed to active on Tesla website on Christmas Eve Day - Merry Christmas. 8 stalls charging at up to 120 kW!
Showed up on my navigation yesterday as well. Stopped by to top up and bumped into a few other members of the CT owners group. Small world!
I checked the Tesla site on Christmas Day and saw they were live! Stopped on the way back from my parents house to MA. I was only getting 70kW appx, but it was still super convenient. Glad they opened in time for Christmas!

I stopped for a charge in our X on the way back to MA from NYC on Thursday with 3 daughters and our dog. One 3 was there when we arrived but left shortly after. We had about 27% when we arrived. Charging was a little slow - under 100kW - but we charged up to 100% because we were there from 5:10 until almost 7pm. 20 minute wait for a table at Frank Pepe’s and another 25 minutes to get our food, plus a brief visit to Dunkin’ for a coffee to go. Didn’t see any other cars charge while we were there, but one ICEd briefly.
Great pizza and salad, though a heavy travel day was not the best time to visit.

We were there on December 28. Charging was fine (don't recall rate) but we felt the food and amenities were rather limited. The pizza place had a line out the door and what looked like an intimidatingly long wait. So we hung out in Dunkin' Donuts until the charge was done and stopped again later for food. We prefer to use charging time for meals, to avoid idle time while waiting for the charge, but it did not work here. Yes, there are more options up the road, but it would have been a long walk in the rain.
When we arrived, I think all the charging spaces were open, but 2 other cars arrived while we charged.
No spaces were ICEd the day we were there, but the parking lot arrangement could encourage non-Tesla parking in the Supercharger spaces.
