You can still swing by and grab some pics of the latest situation as you drive south.Dang! Must have slowed down quite a bit then.

they have the wires all pulled and the transformers were supposed to be installed today but with the rain, looks like no work today. If the rain stops, i'm sure they will be here tomorrow. The construction guys said only a couple days of work left.Any updates on this? My wife and I drove our Model Y from Omaha up to Eden, SD and a supercharger at Watertown will be nice!

Oh wow, exciting, thanks for the update!
So sad for me, can I change my date? I'm having buyers remorse on the 9th now.So, for the pool (as described here), I show the following dates:
Jul 9 @repoanything, described here
Jul 14 @theothertom, described here
Jul 17 @HyperionMark, described here
Jul 20 @Newyowner, described here

To be clear, this would be for the first known Tesla charging at a pedestal after all tape and barricades are removed. Online status might be helpful but a known actual charge is the deciding point. A picture would be nice but not mandatory. The winner will get acknowledgement by a hearty "attaboy" (with gender adjustment as required). The loser(s) will get possible recognition but no other prize planned.
A special shout out to @PLUS EV who has a knack for charging at new Superchargers before opening events, Plugshare checkins, Tesla postings or really anybody knows they are up. Hint: Follow him around for the best estimate of when it will open.
Today is July 9, and it seems @repoanything is down for the count.
Love it I am planning on visiting my brother in watertown on Aug 1 st. This will definitely make a Pleasant trip.Transformer installed and Watertown Municipal Utilities finishing the hook-up. They will be finished today. The contractor is cleaning up and leveling the dirt. They are just waiting on the guys to paint the lines for the parking spots. Sure is nice seeing a plan come together.View attachment 683806
So, today is the 15th. We haven't heard if there is a meter present or the transformer getting power, so I'll assume that @theothertom is out of the running.So, for the pool (as described here), I show the following dates:

So, this is the 18th and we haven't heard any good news on opening. I'm going to assume that @HyperionMark is out.So, for the pool (as described here), I show the following dates:

I'll interpret that as July 24...Assuming everyone shows up to do their check in on the unit this week, it could very likely be live at the end of the week! Another exciting connecting point for ND! Now if only be could get one in Buffalo SD! (Tesla has already said no at least once)
Are you looking for another pool/contest? You didn't enter this one... I'll add you as a late entry here for Aug 1. You only get half the prize if you win.Seems like Grand Forks ND and Watertown SD are progressing at the same pace. Wonder if they will be turned on at the same time? Gosh I hope they are up and running by 1 August!
Hahaha thanks! I have a trip from Omaha to Fargo scheduled and really hoping to get to use this supercharger! I check this thread on a daily basis and am itching for some new photos!Are you looking for another pool/contest? You didn't enter this one... I'll add you as a late entry here for Aug 1.

Yeeeeeeeeeppers! They should go live at similar times. Tesla can decide remotely if they want them live at the same time or at completion of testing. I hope they do right at completion!Seems like Grand Forks ND and Watertown SD are progressing at the same pace. Wonder if they will be turned on at the same time?
