I haven't seen it asked yet -- is this (very nice looking) Service Center going to replace the (conveniently close to my office) Westchase location?

I just emailed Whitney and asked her that very question. Will let you know what response I get.

And I've already gotten a response - the new Service Center will SUPPLEMENT the Westchase location NOT replace. Westchase will remain in operation to service west and south Houston.
Awesome.

I just saw the construction cone at Supercharge.info, so I cruised up there just now --- not on I-45 though. Gridlock construction traffic. Just for fun, I tried to charge my car. They are not powered yet.
However, the street address is 14820, not 14810. The number is on the upper left-hand side of the front of the building.

This is the Disconnect for SC Cabinet 3.
It is in the Off position.
The stallards outside also have no number labels, after Tesla commissions the Superchargers they will have 1A, 1B, 2A, etc. on them.

No change in Supercharger status.
Lots of buildout happening inside.
This is going to be one great-looking repair shop.

I hadn't looked at supercharge.info or the TMC site for a while so this news was a nice surprise. Thanks for the recon and photos. It is will be great to have a supercharger in Houston! No more driving through the maze of Galleria parking lots trying to find the HPWC's.
Checked it out today. There were a few workers there, and it looks like the Gallery part is getting close. SC's look ready but not live yet, as expected.
And speaking of the possiblity of a scrape at Westchase, I scraped the front bumper on the high curb in front of the Gallery door. I had an Audi that had a problem with this, but have managed to avoid it for 2 years in my S85. Pretty ironic that it happened at a Tesla location. I assume that they will put in additional bumpers there to prevent this once it is actually open.

I dropped by there yesterday to check it out. Superchargers aren't active yet, but man, the facility sure does look nice. :smile:

Service Center is ready. Grand Opening Party is 10 July. Tesla owners in Houston have received a link to RSVP for the party. If you are a Houston owner and haven't received the link, let me know and I can PM it to you.

Go ahead. While the invite says "Tesla welcomes all of our owners for a private reception to celebrate the opening of our newest location in Texas", it also says you can invite a friend or family member. You can take my spot because I'll be at TMC Connect.

The three switches for the Supercharger cabinets are still "off" but I noticed a couple more details thru the tinted front windows:
They have a Design Studio in the front corner lobby.
There's a fourth SC cabinet, and two (not yet connected) cables, inside the front window in the service bay. Which makes sense. But next to this Cabinet is a "skateboard" battery/frame mockup.
Painting, drywall sanding going on, busy busy.
And a factory-new P85D in one of the outside SC spots.
