[JakeP]

Oh that is good to know...fortunately my annual family trip to Syracuse will be the following weekend!

Checking in, more pictures added. Transformer is on the pad! Making progress!

Well done, and hats off to the construction crew! It's been a brutal winter, but that doesn't seem to have slowed them down once they broke ground.

 

[Kickin]

Making some good progress! They have tents now to deal with the brutal cold. I've updated pics:

Thanks for continuing to keep us updated with new pictures!

That's insane. I can't believe they're trying work with that much snow on the ground.

 

[Kickin]

Looks like some decent progress, no Tesla cabinets on site as of yet, as far as I can tell. I've added more photos...

Kickin, Thanks again for keeping us up to date. Maybe they are keeping the cabinets in storage offsite until needed.
They have the pedestals.
Have you had any break in the weather?

 

[Kickin]

Yeah, it's been a little "warmer" today, around 35 degrees this afternoon. This week coming up they should make some decent progress, should get over 40!

Kickin, I love your license plate!

A buddy of mine from HS works across the street, and he sent me this pic today.

Thanks for the picture. Awesome progress! Transformer is on the pad :biggrin:

There seems to be a nasty light pole on the right in front of one of the charging stalls. Hopefully it will get relocated.

I hope this site is operational before April 3rd. I am driving central NJ to Barrie, ON via Paramus, Albany, Utica/Syracuse, Kingston, (Toronto?)
On the way back via Comfort Inn, Niagara Falls, so having to go to Utica from there is 212mile.
Probably fine in a P85, but could be trouble if cold, rain, headwind. Syracuse will give peace of mind.

FYI, I have a 14-50R available, about 25 minutes north of Syracuse (between exit 32-33 off Interstate 81). I'm on PlugShare, but call any time of the day/night if you do have range concerns. This is assuming you are heading this way, but you mentioned Kingston.

Thanks, I'll look you up on Plugshare. I will be passing Friday 3rd early afternoon. Utica to Kingston should be OK if weather is good, but else a 14-50R is certainly better than the public J1772 in Watertown that I have as current backup in case Syracuse is not open by then

I'll be interested to hear your opinion of the Comfort Inn in Niagara Falls. We're planning a trip out east in June and plan to stay there a couple nights if it's a nice place.

I think there is a 90A Suncountry charger at the Best Western on Carrier Circle, if you have dual chargers and the SPC isn't live yet.

I can verify this,see #14 in this thread. Stopped there and they let me use it even though we weren't staying there. I only have 10kw but it charged us at a solid 30 mph.

Note that the Travelodge in Niagara Falls has a 90A Sun Country that will deliver 72A. You don't have to be a guest but they charge for parking. That's where I stopped in September and it's a great place to charge if you want to spend a morning at the falls. In Syracuse I stopped at Lake Onondaga where the charger delivers 32A. Plus I was able to bike around the lake while waiting.

One of the tents gone, main tent still there. Interesting they have a camera attached to one of the soon-to-be light poles, watching the site.

That looks like a wildlife capture camera triggered by infrared movement. Still no sign of the actual Supercharger cabinets? I assume they are planning to take out the light pole in the middle of the lot.

I just stopped by about 30 minutes ago and saw approx. 6 hard hats on-site. I visually confirmed the light pole in front of the superchargers is indeed gone.

It sounded like a bunch of fans running in the remaining tent. The charge stands themselves didn't seem to show any progress from Kickin's pictures.

Great that they are making progress. The sound of fans seems to indicate that the chargers are now in place and hooked up. Or maybe I am just dreaming. I would love to have this site operational on April 3rd
