Any news/rumors of SoCal supercharger?

[markb1]

Woohoo! About time!

Great news. 7 seems like an odd number (yes, I know it is literally odd) of chargers. Every SC can be split 60/60 between two charging bays so it seems like they should have done 8. Oh well, I was only expecting 4 to be honest so 7 comes as a nice surprise.

my thoughts exactly. Sorry I keep missing the OC meets. Seems as if I'm always out go town.

I noticed the status of the San Juan Capistrano permit changed today to "corrections required". Boo!

ugh. Thx.

 

[FredTMC]

Good news. The "corrections required" look as if they are approved. Hopefully the whole permit will be approved in a few days

Awesome, thanks for the heads up!

Now there's a fourth review, "encroachment", which is "under review". Looking at the permit for the CHAdeMO station (B12-0485), there's no encroachment review.

I heard those guys with the CHAdeMO station are a little shady, and just offered gratuities to all the inspectors.

Given how long Tesla's permit is taking, maybe some greasing of the wheels is expected?

Now the encroachment review status is "N/A" with this note:

Encroachment permit complete pending TC Plan and Contractor info. OK to issue Building Pemrit and direct applicant to work with Public Works with the Encroachment permit.

Permit status is still "under review".

 

[Cosmacelf]

No doubt department A will give approval pending department B giving approval, while department B will give approval pending department A giving approval

yeah. I reviewed the encroachment update too. Seems clear from the language that "encroachment" is signed off and final approval is getting closer (IMO). Anyone know what a "TC Plan" is?

 

[markb1]

Finally, the permit shows as approved! (Four days ago, apparently.)

Thanks for the update! Looking forward to using sjc soon (hopefully)

I drove from San Diego to Santa Monica this morning - so I took a detour to check out the location. I was hoping to see some construction and post some pics, but saw... nothing. No crates of equipment, no signage, absolutely no indication that they might be installing anything there.

We're sure it's the Union Bank parking lot at 31971 Camino Capistrano?

 

[gaswalla]

considering it just got approved, no reason to expect any active construction or installation yet.. Now we just need a crew to finish up a current project, and head over to pleasant OC for the winter.

Yeah, I guess I was just being overly optimistic. Ahh, well... it'll be here soon enough!

Yes, that's what the permit says, so if they want to build it somewhere else, Tesla is going to have to go through the whole long permitting process all over again!

Looks like it's approved as of today 11/27

TM forum member lsborn reports that San Juan Capistrano has started construction. The lot is fenced off, there are pavement markings, and a porta-potty.
