    Supercharger - Irvine, CA - Michelson Dr. (Park Place, LIVE 19 Oct 2019, 12 urban stalls)

    Tesla site still says “coming soon”, but the app and navigation now show it in their list of superchargers! Nothing else beyond that though. No stall availability information. No navigation instructions once you’re in the structure (it says “Level 2” on the address though). $0.32 / kWh + up...

    Trash bags are off, nothing is turned on yet though (and there are still cones blocking the stalls).

    And... here is what I expect is likely my last update before they finally turn these things on! All construction is done and fences are down, upstairs and downstairs. All *conduits* have been painted matte grey to match the walls/ceiling of the structure. All signage is up. All parking stops...

    Whelp, this is the moment we’ve been waiting for: some numbers! The corner area now has 6 large cabinets. A peek at the labels reveals that each is rated for 2 x 72W, for a total of 12 urban chargers. Also... they’ve got our first Tesla logos!

    And... the fence is up! 12 spots blocked off. Empty now, but you can see where they’ve started assembling a wiring channel that runs along the back of the spots... I haven’t seen this sort of setup before! I’m not so sure that’s what they’ll do. There’s a pretty wide gap between these...

    All 12 are through! Nothing up top besides tubes, though...

    Supercharger - Irvine, CA - Michelson Dr. (Park Place, LIVE 19 Oct 2019, 12 urban stalls)

    And, the first tube is through... with the others close behind!

    I would be surprised if it’s actually 29 spots. The permit says the affected construction area is 4,400 square feet, which sounds about right (taking into account the fenced off / coned off areas on both floors). It looks like 29 is just what you get when you divide this number by the legal size...

    Supercharger - Irvine, CA - Michelson Dr. (Park Place, LIVE 19 Oct 2019, 12 urban stalls)

    4 + 4 + 3 + 1 = 12 stalls! Or at least twelve tubes, running laterally under the second floor...

    Supercharger - Irvine, CA - Michelson Dr. (Park Place, LIVE 19 Oct 2019, 12 urban stalls)

    Greenery is in downstairs (looks like there won’t be any visible developments there anymore) and the work area upstairs has a tube bender! They’ve been putting it to good use installing the first wiring channels: Here’s what the setup is looking like it’s going to be: - First floor...

    Yep! Just drive in and turn right immediately. Paid parking is if you keep going straight after entering, or if you use any of the other entrances.

    Nope, no logos anywhere. The only Tesla branded things in this structure are cars!

    Supercharger - Irvine, CA - Michelson Dr. (Park Place, LIVE 19 Oct 2019, 12 urban stalls)

    A few developments over the last week here. Both cabinets (upstairs and downstairs) have been installed. Holes drilled through level two are still covered by cones, but are also now surrounded with caution tape. Also, the upstairs construction has some cool new boxes (one has big “AC” and “DC”...

    Supercharger - Irvine, CA - Michelson Dr. (Park Place, LIVE 19 Oct 2019, 12 urban stalls)

    Nope! Using the west entrance, you can park for free on levels 1 and 2. Paid parking starts just after the new Supercharger spots.

    Confirmed. The workers here on the second floor today were wearing Electric Vehicle Infrastructure shirts. I asked if this is where the new Supercharger is going and got a silent nod (but nothing more)!

    Level 2 actually makes a lot of sense. This way they can route everything under the floor of level 2, on the ceiling of level 1!

    Supercharger - Irvine, CA - Michelson Dr. (Park Place, LIVE 19 Oct 2019, 12 urban stalls)

    I saw them inside cutting the concrete today on the second floor. They’ve drawn green rectangles behind 12 of the public spots on the floor, and cut 12 holes straight through to the first level behind the AC hotel spots (they’re currently covered by cones). Certainly looks like it’s gonna...

    Park Place local here. There’s light construction back between the Travelers building and the LA Fitness parking structure, outside near the service road entrance. There’s a fenced-off bit up against the structure’s transformers, and you can see exposed wiring from above (best view is actually...
