Looks like Davis, CA is getting it's supercharger. I'm not able to tell where though.

It looks like the permit was issued October 2nd, so construction might have even begun there already.

Construction has begun. Not sure when construction started, but they are fairly far along. I stopped by today to check on the progress and took some photos to share.

Likely, there haven't been many instances of Tesla doing a number of V3 stalls not evenly divisible by 4 (4, 8, 12, etc)

Looking at the overhead drone photos in post #10, the Supercharger cabinets look like V3. Also there’s only 4 of them...there aren’t enough cabinets for the number of pedestals for a V2 setup.

Yes, they are. Urban superchargers are a flavor of V2 and Tesla is still building those. There are also maybe a very, very few straggler traditional V2 locations out there that were originally planned before the switch to V3 and that haven't been built yet. Some of those will have been redesigned as V3 but a few will still be V2. One example of that is Olema, CA. Also Seattle, WA - Ballard Way is currently in construction and may be a traditional V2 station. That's what it was when they built it the first time, but then the contractor had to tear all the stalls out for some reason and start over. So, we'll see what they actually end up having there.

How is that exactly? They don’t seem to share and particular hardware or characteristics. They seem very much their own thing.
I think the switchgear and control cabinets are the same between urban superchargers and traditional V2 150 kW superchargers.
Huh??? The back-end supercharger hardware, i.e. the underlying stuff that makes the superchargers work, is entirely the same between the urban and traditional style V2 superchargers. The only difference is that the configuration of the rectifiers in the urban cabinets is slightly different as they are partitioned into two separate sections that each feed a single charging post (of the 2 connected to a single cabinet). In terms of hardware, the "big" differences between the two types is all basically irrelevant, minor, or cosmetic stuff. The charge posts have a very different design so that they have a smaller profile/footprint. They use slightly thinner conductors from the cabinets to the posts because the max current is lower since output to a single post is capped at half the cabinet's full power.
