Yup, the same sign was at the newly opened Issaquah Urban Supercharger a couple weeks ago. I doubt they're getting ready to close that one. ;-)
Pretty sure that's just to inform owners that they'll soon have a new supercharger in the area which may open other trip planning options. Similar signage was also recently displayed at the Fountain Valley, CA supercharger (re: Anaheim and Westminster SCs). I think they may put them up at any SC that gets really heavy use when opening new sites that could aleveate some of the congestion.

If the permit in this thread is what you are referring to, notice the >800A instead of =800A.
The LNI permit is also updated today (sadly with disapproval...)
Looks like the contractors are really trying to get it done though...
3 months maybe, 6 months definitely

Is that not 1.1%, or was it truly 1% based on feedback from the department of redundancy department?If a picture is worth a thousand words, your post is worth about 1% of a picture
800 amps at 480 volts is certainly enough for a 12-stall (6 cabinets) Supercharging site.
Springfield, VA has a 1,000 kVA transformer for 18 stalls (9 cabinets). At full tilt, that's 111 kW available for each Supercharger cabinet. I'd have to go back and look, but I suspect the site was permitted at 1,200 amps.
800 amps @ 480 volts is 665 kVA, which we would round up to a 750 kVA transformer. At 665 kVA, that's 111 kW per cabinet at full load, which is right on the money.
Edit: Also, I just noticed the >800 amps, although I believe it's pretty close based on the math above.

I see numbers on the stanchions, so I would say definitely, yes. Usually that means the Tesla tech has tested the system. If it isn't open now, I'd say Monday at the latest. Maybe.
Edit Now that I look again at the photo above, those suckers look lit up. @ikester , did you try them???
Transformer there? If so it’s either already live or should be in the next few days judging by the stall numbering (credit: @BerTX )

I don’t have my Tesla yet, so no I didn’t try them. There were several contractor’s trucks there, and they were actively painting stripes at the time. Did round trip Seattle -> Chelan -> Seattle today, just stopped by to see where the chargers are, and to take pix.
Ah, well that explains why you weren't testing your backing skills between the lines of wet paint! Thanks for reporting. Somebody will get there today. @PLUS EV are you there?
