I was passing through the area so I stopped by to see if anything had happened, in case @goldenage had stopped driving by regularly. There is still nothing here yet, including no surveyor marks. And it's still annoying to have to drive down past it and then make the U-turn :)

Yeah, no, I don't think that there's some secret Sheetz thing happening. It's just the usual lag of Tesla's findus map that occasionally happens, with entire stations popping up out of the blue. With that lag now made astronomically worse by the chief manbaby's actions. This is just us...

I stopped by on May 12th and May 23rd and there's still nothing yet. There will be a big EV event here on July 9th (focused on fleets and local clean-fuels industry). Since having this site up and running by then, or at least under construction, would be a huge boon to the event, I used that as...

Per Plugshare checkin last Friday, a Ford Mach-E owner was able to use this site to get their car's max 150 kW, apparently using the Ford software integration to release the Magic Dock (not using their own adapter). That user told me that the station is currently appearing in their Ford and...

Wire ampacity depends on a lot of things: gauge/AWG of course, but also temperature, run length, conduit size and filling factor, insulation type (and resulting thermals), blah blah blah, and sometime people come to different conclusions on what the "right" wire is. That shorthand above could...

That is incredible. Thank you @jstrickland ! I am stealing one of those photos for the Plugshare listing (of the CCS stations).

Yuuuup. There's a little green LED (instead of red) when it's working and idle, and other colors when starting up or in the middle of a charging session. Details here: https://www.google.com/search?q=tesla+hpwc+led+colors https://www.google.com/search?q=tesla+hpwc+led+colors&tbm=isch (images)...

After driving by yesterday to confirm that the (three Level 2) stations are still powered up but flashing red, I reached out to the site host to let them know. As I wrote above, I'd hoped that he'd say "yeah, we're finally working on getting them going" but he was not aware. He said he'd call...

(taps fingers eagerly, waiting for CCS / Magic Dock to go online ... it would be the second such site in Georgia and the first in southeast in 6-7 months)

To be fair, we haven't seen any V4 pedestal hardware yet, unless those concrete bases can ONLY be used with V4, which I doubt. Yes I know the construction permit said "V4", but things change and I'd stay with the V3 default until the actual pedestals were seen in the next update.

Whhhaaaat? From my post here a few months ago: Well, I just checked again, and now this Wilson NC site DOES appear on the Circle K map, with "4x CCS 180kW". OK then :) The 24 stations originally proposed was for 20xTesla + 4xCCS ...

Uuuuuuhhhh, that's interesting... So you got the Magic Dock to release from the pedestal, without using the app? Free power? That probably won't last long :)Anyway, I wouldn't add this (CCS capability) to SC.info just yet since it's not active in the Tesla app. Probably just a data mismatch for...

Hooray!!! I was actually going to stop by there myself about a week ago, first time in months, and detoured away at the last minute due to street closure. Then again yesterday but my plans changed. But I'll do so for sure in the next 48 hours. Obviously blinking red means something is wrong...

Good question! I don't know enough about the gas station / convenience store business to know who does the owning and who does the franchising. I just listed PFJ because that's what showed up on Google Maps when I scrutinized that area (I see now that the Huck's pin is just offset a bit), and...

Indeed this site does physically have Magic Dock interfaces (within the V4 pedestals), but they have not been activated yet. I don't know the supercharge.info policy on this, but I wouldn't be surprised if the policy is to wait for actual activation.

LOL, I've started appending the following text to my own site updates, especially sites that haven't broken ground yet -- and this one has! If this update inspires you to point out the recent firing of the entire Supercharger team, or opine on the chances of this site moving ahead, we already...

Plugshare checkin Tuesday afternoon: "The stalls have been moved and everything looks finished but there is yellow tape around it all still. Hopefully it will re-open soon."

I asked a local and should have a report within a couple days.

FYI, even though this site is working (you all have successfully charged at it) and even appearing on the maps (in app and in car), the Tesla routing algorithm may not yet be sending long-distance drivers to it. We've seen that they'll "soft launch" a site and see how the early adopters do with...

I stopped to see if there had been any progress. There was none. Despite this being the least-used edge of the parking lot, it was nearly full on a Sunday afternoon. I didn't check the underground level but it was likely far more open. So if this project does proceed, I wouldn't be surprised...

I stopped to see if there had been any progress. There was none. As I mentioned above, this is an otherwise under-utilized parking lot in an extremely busy area, so this would be a fantastic repurposing of that real estate that I hope does still happen. (If this update inspires you to point...

A better photo appeared on Plugshare (along with the now usual pointless speculation about Tesla layoffs). From the photos, status is: - utility transformer installed - power conversion cabinets installed - NO pedestals yet That's odd but having the transformer is a great sign since that is...

Before this turns into another discussion of that (shocking) news, there's a fabulously active discussion of it elsewhere on TMC right here.

Usually just a day or two, but occasionally there's some sort of hiccup and it takes weeks :)

Thank you!!! Boy somebody is really going to eat some rework cost there.

@randy206 I see you are catching up :) If you are there, could you update us on exactly what has been done? Yes, they are removing stuff, but what has been done so far exactly? Just pedestals removed? Cabinets? Conduit and wiring?

Well this is a surprise! Hopefully this is "just" some rework, like some part of the in-ground work was found to be unacceptable well after the fact. If so, I can only imagine the drama surrounding the surveying or the final inspection or whatever step in this process failed here. Tropical...

I stopped by; no signs of construction yet. The digging activity out on the street (two places) that I described previously seems to have wrapped up. I don't know if either was related to this or not. The surveyor flags along the street are still there.

Thanks, and welcome to the forum!

The utility meters typically come after the site passes final inspection by the local authority, which obviously needs to get requested and then executed. So, probably a week max unless there's some unique backlog there.

FYI that other non-Tesla site (that I posted about in Nov 2023, above) finally started seeing construction a couple days ago, so hopefully soon there will be another option. It will compare poorly to this Tesla site in literally every way, but still, it'll be an option.

Ha, I thought someone would chime in with that (and hi Scott). So noooope Rivian owners do not have official access yet. Scrutinize those stories closer. Rivian owner forums are currently full of people a) excited about getting an email inviting them to get in line to someday get an adapter...

As for the latter, I'll step out on a limb and say 100% no :) No way would Tesla make this location the first place in the country (world?) where they'd deploy V4 cabinets. I'd expect it to be in California or upstate New York (home to supercharger build factory), just like they did the first...

According to a (poor) photo and checkin on Plugshare, work is well underway now.

It's worth noting that NACS capability has been enabled for this site, so CCS users with approved adapters (only Ford, so far) can also use this site. In contrast, Franklin does not have NACS capabililty, yet.

I was passing through the area and stopped by here to check on it. I did not see any signs of construction. I also did not see any homeless people, but I did see a marauding band of seagulls roving the parking lot.

I was going to stop by here this evening as I was passing through, but it was late and this one is best studied in daylight. It's possible that a Tesla site will go in here yet. If you visit, look a) for the utility transformer (large green or grey cube), and b) for signs of an adjacent Tesla...

I was passing through the area and stopped by to get you all an update, even though it appears there are locals here that are doing just fine without me :) There were workers busy on site, seemingly focused on a new base for a light pole. It looks like the concrete pad for the transformer was...

I was passing through the area and stopped by for a first look. There's nothing here yet, but I could see how it would end up on the left / northeastern side of the property.

I was in the area and stopped by to check. The Whataburger is quite busy so I guess everybody knows about it now. I did not see any signs of Tesla site construction, although I did see a lot of surveyor flags on the south side of the property. But it would be pretty crowded in there -- hopefully...

I was passing through the area and stopped by to get a look. This address is a gigantic construction site. So it's going to be a while yet.

I was passing through the area and stopped by to check this site. Score! All of the work is done except for the utility transformer (and meter). 16 V4 pedestals are in, along with their cabinets. Asphalt and striping is done. No signage. So this is really just waiting on the utility transformer...

Ha! I had this on my list of construction sites to check out before I left home on a road trip 11 days ago. I will skip it now :)

I was passing through the area and stopped by to take a look. Boy was I surprised when I couldn't turn into the gas station at all! What I missed from above, or maybe it's not mentioned, is that this entire gas station is brand new and still being built. The supercharger installation looks to be...

I have no insight :) When I was planning my long roadtrip down I-20, I looked for SC sites along the route that needed reconnaissance. Seeing this one, I skimmed the thread (which started in April 2023 with a permit) and thought the current construction was an EXPANSION of the existing site. I...

As promised... I stopped by yesterday and did not see anything. I called* the host business today and asked about status. They noted that they do have the J1772 plug already (see separate Plugshare listing for plenty of knowledge on that) and the person answering the phone knew that they do have...

I was passing through the area and stopped by to take a look. It certainly possible that this is the Tesla construction location, but I don't think so. I think this is just curb rework as part of the restaurant drive-thru build. Until we see hardware going in, or at least conduits, anybody...

I stopped by to get a look. Those two concrete pads have been poured, but otherwise I don't think anything else has been done. Actually, the meter boxes are in, which is probably new work. No meters yet of course. There was no sign of any activity in the area where the new pedestals would go...
