I just created a new thread for the Brea Mall location (see link below) and reported the first comment taking notice of new construction at the mall asking for that comment and everything after it to be moved to: Supercharger - Brea, CA - Brea Mall (under construction May 2021, 20? stalls)

I'm not. But trying to count pedestals is a waste of time in this case as the pictures we have don't show the entire site clearly enough to determine the number of stalls that don't have their pedestals installed yet. So, instead of doing that, if you look at the very first picture posted in this thread (post #10), on the right there are for sure 4 V3 supercharger cabinets and I think a 5th. It's hard to be sure about the 5th one because only a little bit of the left edge of it is showing (the rest is out of frame). The standard ratio for V3 superchargers in the US is 4 stalls per cabinet, hence my base assumption for the 5 cabinets I think I make out is 20. There could also be additional V3 cabinets out of frame to the right or hidden behind the 4 obvious ones, so it's possible that the stall count will be even higher.
Drove by the location yesterday. There are definitely 5 supercharging cabinets.
I went by the site on Friday. I saw no other concrete poured for any more than the 11 already up. I would think the concrete would all be poured at the same time, but this is really the only one where I have seen the construction myself, so it could be possible there may be more.
From the photo, it looks like this site is using the pre-cast concrete pedestal bases that most installations in the past few years have used. No concrete pours involved, so no extra cement truck visit required. Though they do typically install the bases all at the same time, not sure why they are using a different order this time.
It's not at all clear that they are doing things any differently this time. All the pictures we have are looking down the center of the parking lot, because there's a single line of chargers there. The "missing" stalls, if they exist, are going to be around the edges by the fence line. Without the charging posts set up on them, they are going to be hard to spot with all the construction material blocking sight lines.

I took some pictures last week, it's clearly show 5 cabinets, although only 11 chargers.
Stopped by this evening. They’ve put up an additional 9, so we’re up to 20.
HOWEVER, there’s several small trenches that have been built, angled toward the chargers in the row of 11. As you can see in the first trench photo it looks like there might be runs towards the podiums. There’s room for one more row of chargers so we’ll see

Thanks for posting this. I will be there in a couple of weeks and it would terrific if these superchargers were in service by then; no more going to Buena Park to charge up. it looks like a possibility
Yeah, I wouldn't get your hopes up - I don't think it will be ready by then.
Today it looks like the row of back in stalls by the cabinets have their chargers buttoned up. This leads me to believe wiring is complete at the stalls. The pulls through stalls are still open. Workers were busy working today and myself in a hurry, I stayed back from fence to not disturb.

I counted 11 stalls on the front row and 9 stalls on the back row, so a total of 20 stalls as expected from the 5 V3 cabinets.
However I wonder why the last two stalls seems to have a different layout, 2 feet away?
May be those would be made ADA accessible or reserved for CyberTrucks or larger EV Vans?
Note: There is still a (6 ft x 6 ft) concrete floor on the back. This could be the location for a transformer?
If so, don't expect to get it installed in less than three months or even longer...

Yes, those are for the accessible stalls which need to be a little bit longer than the standard stalls. And you're right that the empty pad is for the transformer, which still isn't on site. Hopefully it won't be as long of a wait as you fear, but one never knows.

We are still missing the transformer but I wouldn't expect it to take longer than a month or so to be up and running.
