I spoke with the workers on-site yesterday. They said the power hookup was completed Friday evening. According to him, there is 480kw to each stall, but they are (obviously) powered down. They are just waiting for a few more things to open up, and that Tesla is wanting it open by Memorial Day.

So there’s a transformer in place? Pictures? Or did he mean there were power wires run to each stall? And that worker likely got their calculations or units wrong. Even V4 is incapable of 480kw to each stall. The wiring is only capable of 350kw. And they likely didn’t account for total amps 3 phase which uses a 1.73 factor, not 3. 480kw / 3 * 1.73 = 275kw. Much more realistic. I really wish people would say I don’t know instead of trying to impress with their knowledge and giving out false info.
His words were that the power was all hooked up, and they were only waiting on cosmetic pieces. Not sure about the power… 480 seemed very high, not sure if he misunderstood or miscommunicated something on accident

Still hasn’t had final electrical inspection so probably didn’t miss anything. requested Thursday but didn’t happen Friday so maybe tomorrow we’ll know more.
Looks like nothing has changed. A few fences taken down, but still missing the final trim pieces on the superchargers
Fences were still up today but I think I saw a transformer off to the left.
Yep. I went by last night and can confirm that the transformer is in place.

It wasn't there when the first pictures of construction were posted earlier in this thread either.
Yeah, that’s the easy way out…It wasn't there when the first pictures of construction were posted earlier in this thread either.
Site has been cleaned up and looks ready to go.

Wow, looks like quite a basin, hope the drain doesn't clog in a powerful rainstorm, looks like the cabinets at least are mounted slightly higher, like up on a flood platform in the Keys. Is that big cabinet a battery bank, or just switching equipment? Don't see any Starlink antenna, what happened to the promise of WiFi at all Superchargers that Elon made when they took away lifetime connectivity? Glad I am grandfathered in, but I won't be on the CT
Apparently I didn’t attach this photo earlier, but yeah, the transformer has been in for a little while. This photo was taken on 5-19Yeah, that’s the easy way out…
Hopefully it’s open soon… wondering what they are waiting on.
