I took delivery of my new Tesla on June 11 and asked the person helping me with the paperwork about that site. She said it was going to be a Model 3 delivery center. She wasn't sure exactly what the superchargers will be for.

Yes, new X owner @dragonxt reported that he took delivery of his X at that location (initially in that thread he wasn't clear on the exactly location but subsequent posts appear to conclusively show that the 4700 Kato Road building with all the unfinished Superchargers out front was the location)someone in the model X delivery section says that the fremont delivery center is now open (explains why they didn't put up the delivery tents at factory this quarter). so it appears that the building has completed construction and just in time for model 3 deliveries.
I spoke to a Tesla OA recently who said that there were no longer Fremont factory pickups of new Teslas, they were being done at the new location near the factory. She wasn't specific on the exact location, but it sounded like the Kato Road building being discussed in this thread.I took delivery of my new Tesla on June 11 and asked the person helping me with the paperwork about that site.

That makes a lot of sense. They've already run out of parking spaces for employees, so they can't accommodate the additional traffic/parking/warehousing/logistal requirements at the factory for customer deliveries, especially in the numbers projected for the Model 3.I spoke to a Tesla OA recently who said that there were no longer Fremont factory pickups of new Teslas, they were being done at the new location near the factory.

I drove by, and I don't know if this is helpful, but there are actually two separate Tesla Buildings close together. I believe separated by a Seagate building in between. One of them looks to be the new Delivery Center I went to, and another is just a huge building. < This is the one with those pedestal things. (Btw anyone have pics of what Superchargers look like before their built?).Yes, interesting report from @dragonxt but he made no mention of whether the long line of Supercharger pedestals in front of that building (I assume that is where he was) were operational or not.
"Automotive Showroom – 4,500 square feet: The showroom would provide a display area for three cars and include a lounge area for sales customers and patrons utilizing the onsite charging stations. A total of 20 super charger stations would be added to the parking lot as part of the tenant improvements. The sale of electric vehicles is a permitted use in the I-R District."Nice find! Very interesting information. Reading through that document I see no mention of "charging" or "Superchargers". In the "Circulation" section the increased vehicle traffic analysis makes no mention of increased traffic due to Supercharger use.
That supports the theory that the Superchargers in front of that building will not be for general use by Tesla owners. The document does not prove that, however.
I also noted that the "Amenities" section of the building will include a "cafe and gym" for Tesla employee use only.
The document was found in October 2015. Evidence: Post #37, this thread, formerly called "Supercharger - Fremont #2"finally some clarity what the kato building will be used for, surprised it took us this long to find the permit from almost 2 years ago! clearly they are going to move the service center and showroom from factory to kato, but that probably means the 12 supercharger stations at factory may no longer be for public use once this spot opens. They need every square inch of available parking for the factory as we all know.
Totally missed that part! Thanks for catching that and posting.
This is good news! I think it is now reasonable to assume that the 20 Supercharger stalls will be available for any Tesla owner to use, just like at Buena Park, Rocklin, Seaside, and probably more that I can't think of right at the moment.
I am changing the title of this thread and moving it back into the California Superchargers forum.
Man, that sure looks a lot like Fremont II - naked pedestals up, and just waiting for some clothing and life.
If Google Maps already has it, is that any indication that it's been sitting a while in this state?
Well, for at least 21 months. See OP of this thread.Man, that sure looks a lot like Fremont II - naked pedestals up, and just waiting for some clothing and life.
