Supercharger - Austin, TX

Is that a photo of a transformer installed?

Nice try... I'm not making that mistake again...

 

[Electroman]

buttershrimp - I think that picture shows a transformer. Do you agree?

Yes! If I squint hard enough... I think it says 130 kWh! Let's go charge!

Someone on Reddit just told me about this thread! Here's what they looked like as of yesterday. Hello fellow Austinites!

It's looked like that for a few weeks.

Waiting for someone to confirm when it is operational. Will be heading that way in few weeks!

There are plenty of us driving past every single day, so we'll spot it going live, fear not

Concrete slab has something on it!

Still no electricity at any of the chargers though

 

[Kcharwood]

That wasn't on there this morning, so that looks new!

Also, looks like Tesla confirmed the downtown location: Supercharger - Downtown Austin, TX

Transformers! More than meets the eye!

No, that's just someone looking at the icon on the map and thinking it's a specific location, when the icon just means "Austin".

The space is so tight, we're going to become great at James Bond style backing into those supercharger spots.

I think we are still waiting on more equipment ....
There is no meter on this "transformer like" cabinet, the slab is too
large, there is a black plastic wrapped conduit and a white pvc pipe sticking up.

 

[brkaus]

if there is no meter mounted on the transformer already, I would bet the meter will be mounted over that conduit and go to a coil inside the transformer box.

 

[drew2017]

Meter gets installed after inspection passes. There might be a sheet taped to the transformer when inspection checks out.

Has anyone seen the meter can (gray box which houses the meter)? Its not mounted on the transformer as it would have been visible in one of the two pics of the x-former. Brkaus probably nailed it's future location.

Yes, I meant to say meter base or meter can.

Attached photo is NOT the supercharger, but a place of business I go frequently. The whole pad layout looks pretty similar to the one at the supercharger.

The one below has metalic conduit going up to the meter base. I’m guessing that is what is wrapped up at the SpC location

Here's another pic of the Austin SC transformer from today -
