How strange. Does anyone know of another Supercharger site abandoned before completion? Hopefully they just decided to upgrade to v3.
There's a double location in the UK (Brighouse Northbound and Southbound) where it was totally constructed but they have been unable to get the necessary okay to run power to it underneath a neighboring property (golf course). Not sure whether that one has officially been abandoned or is still slowly working it's way towards eventual activation, but in about 2 more months it'll have been "in construction" for 4 years now. In the US, there was a site in Greenville, SC that was well into construction when Tesla got caught in the middle of a lawsuit between the host property owner and the neighboring property. That location was eventually dropped, the hardware that had been installed was removed, and the site returned to its original status.How strange.

Maybe they are waiting for more demand. The 20 stalls on the other side of the interstate, the 12 stalls 2 miles west on 580, and the 10 other stalls 3 miles west on 580 all don't seem to be filling up like they used to.
There are 150kW units at the Dublin SC and all up and down 680 (2 Superchagers in San Ramon, Walnut Creek, Concord). And even the 72 kW are at Home Depot. By the time I go over and wander the aisles looking at tools and the latest home gadgets the car is charged. Same thing with the 20 chargers across the street in the Outlet malls. The lines at Starbucks are long enough to let you charge most cars even at 72 kW. And then there are the tons of Asian restaurants kitty-corner from the Outlet Mall.The nearby stalls are 72kW. I haven't tried to use them. The last time I was near them was the holiday season before the pandemic, and the entire shopping center was such a mess that getting anywhere near it was an ordeal.
Even if the others are being used less right now during a pandemic, that doesn't reflect what might be the case in a few months when people are vaccinated and go back to taking road trips.
My father lives very close to that station, and doesn't have a Tesla. If he did, he'd most likely do almost all charging from home, but I think he'd pull the trigger a lot faster if that station were open. Even if he doesn't use it, it would help sales. Availability of Superchargers was a factor for me in 2014, even though I expected to charge from home and had no clue if I'd take road trips.
My opinion only: It'll be plenty helpful and it'll get used because people (many but not all of them East Bay residents) come to this shopping center. Whether it's V2, V3, or Urban, any Supercharger installation helps.Pretty annoying that construction of this location started right after the V3 launch but since it was designated before, it's only gonna be V2. This is most likely one of the only V2 chargers opening right now and it's only gonna be 8 stalls. Does very little to help owners in East Bay.
I was confused by the numbers: 14 stalls minus 8 precast pedestal bases equals 10 stalls?!
Looking at older pictures, it appears that 18 precast pedestal bases were installed, but only 14 charging pedestals were installed atop them. (What were they thinking?) So the 8 removed precast pedestal bases were 4 bases that never had a charging pedestal and 4 bases that were removed along with their charging pedestals. Now the numbers (including the thread title) make sense.
