Knowing how untruthful Tesla reps can be, I’m not convinced this has anything to do with “permitting.” Usually if there’s outstanding issues with a permit, the contractor is to blame not the city. I know, I’m a builder in Orange County, once a permit is issued it is finalized once all is in place, pretty straight forward process. The problems are all worked out EVEN BEFORE the permit is issued. I bet Tesla is delaying this for other reasons which are not permit related.
(UPDATE: Just got off the phone with the building dept. and they confirmed the stations have passed inspection. The ball is on Tesla’s court as I suspected).
It just doesn't make any sense when other Tesla Supercharger construction sites are going smoothly and coming online fast.
In my legal experience, anything someone tells you on the phone is considered hear say. So we can't conclude Tesla is to blame.
Putting them on notice forces them to officially respond so in case someone gets hurt it could be considered gross negligence.
And when I say them it could be city officials or the owners of the property who are trying to renegotiate terms and costs with Tesla.
Until some official letter is presented we simply do not know.
