    So, this is all good news... Looking forward to seeing the Woburn Target Tesla chargers being built. Hopefully V3.

    Was there today and was pleasantly startled when I rounded the corner of the building where the Superchargers are to be installed and saw fences up and materials there! :) Until I realized it was probably just a staging area for roofing work the store is having done.:(

    No permit had been pulled as of November 1st. Pretty sure that needs to happen before there is any chance of something showing up onsite (ie. dig-safe markings and then eventually construction).

    Still no permit pulled as of 12/1 for this site. Stoughton's permit was pulled 11/6 so it seems likely that location may start construction before Woburn (if it hasn't already started).

    Thanks, for the updates.

    Seems like Woburn is going to be a very slow and long process...

    I would say slow and long is exactly the experience my work has had dealing with them. Plus we're into winter now. I would bet on at least spring.

    I was running down I-93 today and thought I'd run by the Woburn site on the chance that activity in Littleton meant something here.

    'Nothing yet.

    FYI: I have info that this project has not been officially approved by the city of Woburn yet - Woburn is waiting for a change to the site plan by Tesla before a permit is issued.

    FYI: site plan update requested by the town was an ADA change. Woburn should have the updated plan back from Tesla very soon with an assumption it will finally be cleared and a construction permit issued shortly thereafter (likely within the next couple of weeks).

    No change - Woburn is still awaiting an updated site plan from Tesla.

    Coming up on the all-too-soon expiration of referral miles, and it would be nice to zip right up to Woburn to charge. Also seems weird that coming down Rt 3 into Boston as I often do from Nashua, you have to divert way over to Lynnfield to charge. A 93&128 supercharger should have been one of the first in the area, not one of the last.

    What is 128? Oh you mean I95! Just shows you've lived in the area a long time. :) Oh and I do agree with your post.

    The designation of Route 128 still exists... Massachusetts Route 128 - Wikipedia

    In the almost 3 1/2 years since I got my Tesla, the area below has had ONLY 2 new Superchargers added, Leominster and Lynnfield. And yet, I-495, I-93 and Rt 3 are major routes traversing this area. Yes, Littleton is now coming up and hopefully Woburn too, but what the heck, Tesla? There will still be nothing between Littleton and Seabrook, and even if Woburn comes up, nothing between it and Hooksett. And ditto for Rt 3, nothing between Burlington and Hooksett. Ok, I understand it's only 44 miles from Littleton to Seabrook, well within the range of any Tesla, but it seems to me a SC at the I-495/I-93 junction would be a priority as it serves both the East-West as well as the North-South travel arteries.

    Being familiar with the area, it may be that they are just looking for too perfect a place for the SC, at least on I-495. They seem to want a large shopping complex or modern plaza with good food facilities, and it can be somewhat spotty along I-495. Or maybe the local towns are just being asses about the permits, etc. But come on, we need some love in this area!!

    A Supercharger in the Lawrence/Methuen area would be nice. It's too bad they seem to have scrubbed the planned one that was on last year's Tesla map.

    As an outsider, I've noticed an almost an absurd unwillingness of locals to refer to 95/128 as I-95.
