Someone yesterday on Facebook posted a photo with a 6th cabinet on site. So just waiting on pedestals now.
The thumbs down was for the missing pedestals, not to you lol
That’s not how it works

Lol right? A thumbs down means disagree!!!
Haha whoever disagreed with my comment did it to be funny didn’t they?
We already know what the delay is. See up thread. Tesla doesn't currently have any of the pedestals (the things that are installed at each stall with the charging cable and plug, etc) which still need to be installed. So, until their supply of them is re-established, no progress is going to be made.
It’s still under construction. Just went today 07/23/19 no chargers yet. Looks like everything is ready to get hooked up.same pictures from earlier post
The shortage on pedestals is starting to be addressed in other locations; there have been a handful of locations that have got theirs in the last week or so. So far it's been a steady trickle, not a flood. And no discernible rhyme or reason on which spots get served in what order. So, it wouldn't surprise me if there's still a bit of a wait for the parts to show up at any specific location. Hopefully they'll be here for this one within the next 2 weeks or so.
Yeah, it's pretty much everywhere. I looked through Supercharge.info's chart of sites in construction and tried to recall which ones were affected. A few have since gotten theirs, but were at one time sitting waiting. This is the list based on my recollections:
It's possible that it has been a "flood" and that all of the pedestals got shipped to every site recently, but only some contractors responded by installing them immediately. It makes sense that some of them would have moved on to other projects and get back to the supercharger construction later.

I didn't include any of the TCH sites outside of New Brunswick because they are V3 and will therefore need a different charging pedestal. The V3 pedestals are similar enough to potentially also be impacted by the same shortage, but those sites are also waiting for all the back-end hardware as well. So it's not at all clear that the pedestal shortage is creating the long pole for those projects. I only listed sites where it was clear that the shortage had caused delays. Austin TX, as you also note, is an urban charger location which also uses different pedestals. This time much more drastically different than just the differences between V2 and V3. And they are supplied/assembled by a different company. There's no indication that urban sites in general are suffering under a similar parts shortage. Many of them currently in construction over the same period as Austin have received and installed the urban posts. So, if anything, whatever is going on in Austin may just be Austin specific.
A number of other sites hat have been waiting for pedestals to come in stock have received them, so I keep hoping they will show up in Auburn. Still no sign of them as of Sunday, 8/4.
