Tesla's Supercharger Team was recently laid off. We discuss what this means for the company on today's TMC Podcast streaming live at 1PM PDT. You can watch on X or on YouTube where you can participate in the live chat.
Yeah, I spoke to the workers and they said "We're not allowed to say if it's a Tesla Supercharger" LOL, I then asked was it 14 stations and he said "I can't say but you're close" and held up his fingers (one hand-1 finger, other hand-2 fingers) Haha

But the shade is nice when charging in the summer, cars can get hot since the AC is used to cool the battery in priority over the cabin.
I think the reason I see 14 conduits going to the parking spaces and only 6 conduits coming from where the transformer is going is that there are going to be 12 SC stalls and they are going to re-install the two J1772 plugs.

I agree. I bet they'll put back two J1772 stations.
Any idea how the land/parking space deals are done? Is Tesla leasing space from the property?

About time Raleigh got a charger every time I went down there I had to charge at South Hill, and stay extra to make sure I had charge to return to South Hill. This charger and the new one south of Richmond should make the drive much nicer.
There were many people walking around the site with Tesla swag on, so I didn't want to take too many pics, but concrete was poured and sand was back-filled over the conduits.
LOTS of progress just today! Check it out. Also, no solar on this installation. Also, grabbed a pic of where the J1772's are going back in.
A little more progress.
There are 12 Tesla style charge station brackets set up here.
I was there at 4 PM today, Saturday. Every parking spot around this area was full.
We may have some ICEing issues here on busy weekends..
Yes, to try to answer GaryW's and pgiralt's question, I got word that the small transformer is going to stay and is just for the two J1772's. There are several other transformers nearby that are much larger, I would expect a new, large transformer will be installed where the cluster of six conduits come up to the far right of the construction site. There was no new activity today, otherwise I would have posted new pics. Does anyone know if there is going to be any kind of gathering to "open" the SC when it is ready? i recall someone posting that they might try to get the media involved or something.
I talked to someone who wasn’t working a shovel. He said he expects the electric company to slow them down.
Well, GaryW, you beat me to it... I'll post the couple of pics I got today anyway 
No idea about their work plan.
As of today, the concrete is poured where they were digging by hand.
