no change this morning

 

[buttershrimp]

My guess is they will airspade around roots?

 

[Kcharwood]

There was a truck there this morning. Couldn't tell if it was a worker or someone just stopping by. Everything was still packaged up.

 

[Ampere_90D]

Nah, I think the delay is shipping in this thing to get around the roots.

 

[STDRDC13]

Just stop by...no movement

 

[Kcharwood]

Yep I still drive by everyday. Nothing to report. Someone has left a baby stroller there in case anyone needs one...

 

[buttershrimp]

Most exciting news I heard all day... what kind of stroller? Will you save it for me if it is done of those fancy brands?

Cheap umbrella stroller. Probably worth less than $5

Like seriously what is taking so long? I was hoping to use this when I came down in June - but nada. Now I have another Austin visit in August and it looks like it won't be ready for that either. What is taking so long now that they have the city's approval (City of Austin is very very dumb development/building code wise so I get that delay) - come on Tesla - let's do this!!!

Sadly it makes sense. They only got approval at the end of June. So now they will have to restart the scheduling.
The work crews are probably already assigned on other builds.

Arg!!

 

[buttershrimp]

To be honest... I'm really surprised they didn't just amend the design to a different side of the lot.

Any bets on whether Austin will be completed before Fort Stockton?

All we're waiting for now is crew scheduling, so look out for completions on supercharge.info

This is what happens when you try to make progress in a progressive city. Too much red tape.

If by progress you mean chopping down a bunch of trees so few car chargers can be installed then I'm pleased my city is preventing that.
All it took was a simple redesign of the cabling so that the trees weren't impacted.
Had the initial plan taken its surrounding into account it would have been approved first time.
So yes, I'll take that so called "red tape" thanks.

Yessir pardner... we don't respond kindly to cutting' trees down in these here parts... but we do get mighty pissed when some fancy city designer can't see their way to a design away from the grackle poopin' sacred state tree of texas...

 

[DriverOne]

Ha, good point. Getting under the trees is good for shade, and good for car washes

Finally, the truth is revealed: The car wash lobby is lining Elon's pockets!
