Supercharger - Fort Bragg, CA (LIVE 21 May 2021, 12 stalls)

This is amazing news. I have a planned trip
This looks amazing. I have a upcoming trip planned and if Fort Bragg wasn't complete I'd take Branscomb road to Laytonville to charge before overnighting at Garberville. With Fort Bragg, I'd just skip Branscomb.

In reality the first pics I posted w/ construction started were from last week 
different time lines - Elon time makes sense when you see the future
Yesterday they were stopping for lunch but it looked like they were going to be striping in the afternoon. so basically done

Doubtful. Unless my eyes deceive me, I don't see a transformer anywhere. That's usually the biggest hold up to going live.

I don't see a transformer in the photos. I do see what seems to be an empty concrete pad (to the right of the SC cabinets). It will be a race to get that installed and checked out by the 4th. But hey - "May the fourth be with us"!

My supercharger Ring cam was deployed elsewhere...
It is pretty amazing how quickly it went from "on hold" to "almost finished" but we don't have the same number of eyes on the north coast that we do elsewhere. A charger at Kettleman gets dented and there are 300 photos immediately, but they could build a mega charger up the coast and it might take a day or two for someone on here to notice...

I bet it took less than a week to build based on what I saw when they were first digging in the pad area.
I think that was probably day 2. equipment delivered and fence up day 1. day 3 trench everything, day 4 lay everything, 5 pour concrete pad and backfill HMA.
7 install everything? that's about how fast our installations have been going for new L2 stuff with poured pads.
I'll be passing by there next week. Taking my 3 for work and doing Laytonville SC down &over 20/ back up 1. curious about the section of 1 that I think might make a fun hill climb ~PM 100/101 area

I’m staying in Fort Bragg next weekend (May 22nd). I’ll take a look then too.
Looks like you're new here...welcome!
It sounds like most of the construction work is done (except for possible remediation for problems found during inspection). After that, it's just waiting for a utility transformer from PG&E, then testing from Tesla. This might be a useful reference (see the section on "Construction"):

Getting a transformer from PG&E can take months. IIRC, the wait for a transformer in Newark was 4-6 months.
