Another exciting one! A round trip for us to/from Willmar is 200 miles. That’s stretching it for our 2016 S outside of ideal weather conditions when you add in parking losses, etc.

This is a Great location that really helps folks traveling from the Arrowhead region SW to I-90 Westbound. Definitely a more Direct route.
Sure would be great If they put one on US hwy 2 in Grand Rapids, MN

Of course, I was just generalizing Grand Rapids as a logical splitter location with a fair amount of site hosts to work with.
Grand Rapids would be an excellent, logical next choice for a gap filler. Virginia was on the voting map if I recall correctly, so hopefully that one happens sooner than later as well. Minnesota is finally getting fleshed out!
What I really love about it is how it opens up more opportunities while talking to friends and family to point at the map and say, "See? Where can't you go?"

I see it was the same company that did Marshall. More drop in units. Crazy how fast and simple they are completed compare to the mess of Eagan and Blaine. Blaine has the stalls going up the last few days as well.
Pure speculation, and I'm not a power engineer or anything, but with the way Tesla likes to streamline stuff, I wonder if eventually they will try to integrate pad-mount transformers into the drop in units as well. That would take another really unpredictable element out of the equation for new install timelines.

Yeah, it seems like rapid progress when you see Preassembled Supercharger Units aka (PSU's) show up on site. Then things slow to a snail's pace waiting for the rest of the stuff to get completed.

Nice! I can see the Meter has been installed on the Switch gear cabinet. That usually means it won’t be too much longer.
If we've lucky, maybe @Brolan will also see a transformer and meter in Marshall. If that's the case, Tesla may be looking to active both of these, plus Eagan at (roughly) the same time! Hopefully they aren't waiting for Blaine (no transformer) and these three can move forward more quickly...
