    Wow, memories, my folks moved literally three blocks from here during my college years. I think my mother bought a Mercedes from a Benz dealer that used to be right across the street from this future Tesla site...

    Too bad that aside from Pasadena, the SGV is a complete desert when it comes to superchargers.

    Looks like Tesla has been finally expanding around the San Gabriel Valley area, good news. Now just give us more superchargers.

    Question: Who would like to be the official photographer of the new Tesla Alhambra site?

    RT: <raises hand, furiously jumps up and down> Oh, Oh, Oh, pick me, pick me, pick me! ! !

    You get the idea...

    So the entire block on Main St. from Olive to Curtis is essentially completely empty. Looks like the original Mazda property is shown in red below. Lots of car dealers on this stretch of Main St. The lots you see in yellow below the new Tesla facility are probably leased by other dealers. There are security signs up warning of active video in use. Not sure what that building with the 17 on it is, I'll have to take a closer look next time. 17 S. Olive looks to be an apartment building checking Google street view.

    The City of Alhambra website is useless for online searching of building permits. The web turned up nothing either for this site. We will have to watch it develop to get an idea of what changes will be made to the site, if any. The main building shown in prior thread pictures is in quite good shape. It has been cleaned out, with a broom left on the single table inside. Tesla signs visible on the doors of a couple of the buildings.

    Site initially seemed quite large when I walked it just now, but looking at the Google image not really a lot of space for parked vehicles. Somewhat reminiscent of the Burbank location, where every square inch of space is packed like a sardine can. If Tesla also leased one of the nearby empty lots for overflow, then the site would be much more workable. Next time out I will check for nearby lots that have been emptied out.

    Once some of these ICE age dinosaurs go belly up, there will be ample space available for staging the new Tesla's awaiting delivery...

    Hopefully they will build enough V3 supercharger here for us to use.

    I can confirm that 17 Curtis is an apartment complex; 19 appears to be an overflow lot for Bravo Chrysler Dodge.

    14 is being utilized for New Century BMW’s overflow.

    Originally their overflow lot was on 1303 W. Main but that lot appears to have switched to Toyota of Alhambra‘s overflow as of early November.

    Interestingly enough 1303 is subdivided into four parcels so maybe Tesla can sublease one for overflow?

    haha you wish. That won't happen, especially in such a small lot. You'll see a V3 at some shopping mall instead.

    Zero activity at the location as of last weekend. I check weekly and you all will be the first to know if I see anything going on.

    Wow, such amazing memories -- used to live right in that area and walk by that Mazda dealership all the time.

    Not sure whether to call this progress or not, more like lack of progress. No substantial change to the site really at all. The single table in the showroom still has the infamous broom resting on top of it. However, there were some cones in front that look to be associated with maybe the electrical for the sprinklers? Oh well...

    The priority list needs some attention:
    1. Sprinklers
    2. Service
    3. Showroom
