Supercharger - Temple, TX

Thank you Gods. Clouds stayed away and it was just SPECTACULAR !!

Good to hear - it was totally overcast in SA so we got one minute of darkness and couldn’t see anything. How is traffic now?

Ours was 50/50 with clouds where we were, guess we saw about two and half minutes unobstructed and the other 2 it was behind the clouds. Better than I was expecting a far as weather. Traffic was a little heavy but nothing like stand-still or anything. Made the 3.5 hour trip back with a charge (bathroom break really) and a stop for coffee in just over 4 hours.

Was at this site Sunday morning and counted at least 18 V4 chargers in place (but still barricaded off). These were in addition to the existing 48 stalls.

Are you sure the are v4 and not a different brand?

Would be cool - for some reason I thought maybe they were installing the Mercedes chargers off to the side.

@oholladay where they the ones pictured in post 129 of this thread or even more in another location?

No - I saw the Mercedes ones as well which were open.

These were very clearly Tesla V4 stalls and were in the location marked in green in the satellite image in post 128.

Are they expanding this site? There's a check-in on Plugshare for the Chargepoint location at Buccees posted 5/7/24 showing tesla chargers bagged and the construction area fenced off.

I actually just looked closer at the picture and they're installing V4 pedestal chargers there!

So new installs are still occurring? Given all the news lately, I feared the worst.

Based on this Plugshare photo posted yesterday, yes.

The photo is too fuzzy for me to tell, but I can clearly count 2 unwrapped + 15 wrapped pedestals, but that ends up being an odd number of 17. Do you see more? Guess I need to find the plans.

Considering there appears to be 5 cabinets and these are PSU, there should be 20 stalls.

Any projects that had already broken ground at the time of the layoffs were allowed to continue. There have been delays while contractors waited for new Tesla Point of Contacts since most if not all of their old contacts were terminated but anything already under construction should be allowed to finish.

The freeze on new sites only applies to sites that hadn't broken ground yet.

Some of the V4's have an odd number?
