Tesla on site today. Working on cabinets.

Looks like spools of wire so maybe they are expecting charge posts and are preparing for pulling wires to the stalls.

That’s exciting! Can’t wait to see some pics when you get a chance.

All stalls are officially up. Tesla still on site with PG&E. Looks like they’ll be continuing tomorrow.

 

[Mrbrock]

Weird. No V4 and no magic dock yet extra conduit for each stall. Maybe it’s prep for upgrading at a later time like the sparks site.

 

[MY2021f]

Maybe the V4 stalls weren't ready yet. They waited as long as they could and then just went with what was available.

 

[dannyrt]

It sounds like it could be an easy upgrade to V4 once it’s time

How long once stalls go up do they usually flip the switch and turn on the chargers?

 

[brocklee]

Spoke with these guys. They said they would be done with v3 stalls by the end of next week. However PG&E still hasn’t brought the main line over. They have no idea how long it would take for PG&E to do thier trenching work/power supply work. They jokingly indicated Q1 but seemed to think likely December.
They also said they were all set/wired for v4 and that they would probably be upgraded.

Thanks for sharing. I’ll be driving through there to and from Vegas on December 9 and it would be cool to charge there but that’s probably ambitious. I’d bet a dollar it will be ready by Christmas holiday travel weekend.

I saw a couple guys today on site working with pvc pipe and some trenching. Possible wiring being ran. Couldn’t tell if it was PGE

No visual activity for the past ~10 or so days. Last ones on site were PG&E. Stalls are still coned off, not sure what is needed next to get them powered on.
