I there any way to tell if this will perhaps be a v3 site?
it is not V3 because for V3, individual stalls are not paired/shared from one cabinet.

Thanks. I haven't done much reading on the v3 tech. I'll go look for some discussions.it is not V3 because for V3, individual stalls are not paired/shared from one cabinet.

Agree. Stopped by this afternoon. Nothing new except that concrete forms have been removed, site is tidied up, and construction equipment is gone. No utility transformer, sixth supercharger cabinet still missing, no charging pedestals. No boxed hardware. This site looks temporarily mothballed.New photo update on PlugShare. Nothing necessarily to see.View attachment 419002

Chris, I think you're reading way too much into things. If you haven't been reading other TMC threads about current supercharger builds, you might not be aware, but there's currently a shortage of the supercharger pedestals which is affecting multiple sites across the US and Canada (not sure about Europe or Asia/Pacific). With, IIRC, some second-hand info/rumor that the shipment isn't expected until the end of June. So, it shouldn't be surprising to see sites get to the point that this one has reached and then seemingly stop and clean-up. It has nothing to do with Tesla changing plans and everything to do with needed materials availability.UGH. Why do they do this? this company is somewhat crazy. They have to be literally teetering on the brink of extinction. Things change by like the hour it seems yet they steamroll ahead with other things and pull back here and there. It’s weird.

I don't think it's due to a massive rollout of v3. I think they just mistimed inventory demand assuming some of these build outs would have been v3 by now so they are scrambling to make an extra run of v2 equipment while v3 is delayed longer than expected.To say that this is due to a massive impending v3 rollout is just pie in the sky optimism based on Tesla's history.
IMO, more likely they tried to save some money by reducing their on-hand inventory and either they had more sites go into active construction than they were accounting for or they experienced some interruption/delay in their supply which caught them short since they didn't have much buffer. Note, this is not necessarily time related to recently reported cost cutting by the company. They could have had a short inventory for multiple quarters now and just never ended up being pinched.I don't think it's due to a massive rollout of v3.

That’s right. I forgot about that. Just seems like these projects vary considerably in their completion time but I guess that’s construction for you.
Tesla builds their own equipment in Fremont. Thus this is an internal issue either due to direction by the board to delay CapEx or just pure incompetence of the Supercharger Program Manager for starting this site and others (Blaine, WA) without all materials and equipment secured. Both sites are clearly V2 posts. The financial impact on smaller contractors like Blackstone is not easy. I'm sure they'll be requesting a sizable change order from Tesla due to the delays.
What? No, they don't. And even for the stuff that they do "build" in-house they still have suppliers for the sub-assemblies, parts, and materials, etc. So, a delay/interruption of their supply chain will still result in the same delay in them turning out the end product.Tesla builds their own equipment in Fremont.

I notice someone disagreed with your post lol. Users on this forum as a bit ridiculous
