Love the updates and bevy of pictures. Thank you!I may be the only one reading this but I haven't seen a Supercharger built before so I would be interested almost no matter where it was. I know, I have been on a road trip for a week, so I missed some days. Kinda glad I did, not too much has happened:

They have finished trenching and have installed the bases for 10 of the Superchargers. The crosswalk I used to photograph the early trench from has been absorbed into the fenced area and they cut the cement to dig the trench.

A new hole in the ground has been opened up, likely the transformer will be on the ground where that rudimentary platform is.

Looks like they are done with the original piping as they have started pouring concrete over it.
Once all the pipes are buried then they build the platforms that we see when we visit chargers, then they pull cables thru the pipes, then mount the fixtures, and then the power company comes and hooks it to the grid. Wonder why that will take until December. I guess it is almost November.
Would be cool if they are building a battery bay and a solar shade too. Though I was at opening day in Daly City recently and then opening day in Issaquah, WA on this trip and they don't have any solar. Probably that will only be in warm and sunny places.

The Superchargers are installed at Almaden Ranch, not operational yet.
Maybe it's just dressed up as a standard supercharger for Halloween?There is one pedestal in place, and it is a standard supercharger, not "urban". The supercharger cabinets are labeled 135 kW as well. I have no idea why they aren't doing urban here, since there is no long-distance travel through Alameda and it takes a while to get to and from I-880.View attachment 347893 View attachment 347894
Yep, my error. While there is a pin at Almaden in the Tesla ”Find Us” map it shows that location as opening sometime in 2019. If you have proof that the Almaden Supercharger is operational or even under construction, please start a new thread about it. If you wish to speculate about where it may be located please post in this thread Superchargers in Northern California (location speculation)Moderator, almaden is not the same as alameda....
135kW? That's not a Version 3 Supercharger, is it? I thought we were looking at charge speeds twice as fast, not 5% faster. It really doesn't make sense to put non-Urban Superchargers in next the beach and far from the freeway. Of course, if they are V3 SC's that will be thrilling.

No, it’s the standard Supercharger that Tesla has been installing for several years now. The current cars are limited to 120kW, as @mociaf9 noted.135kW? That's not a Version 3 Supercharger, is it?
