Thanks for the updated pictures! It will relieve some of my range anxiety when it’s up. Let’s also all be careful when backing in not to damage the supercharger 
. I’ve seen so many super chargers tilted due to people backing in.

there is one in buellton right now i cringed so hard when i saw it Saturday eveningThanks for the updated pictures! It will relieve some of my range anxiety when it’s up. Let’s also all be careful when backing in not to damage the supercharger
I filled up again tonight on the mythical charger. I'm gone a lot of this upcoming week, so my wife will be driving the car not so far, and I don't think it will need it this next weekend.
Good thing, tonight was 427 Cobra, is it real or is it not, in the mythical charger parking lot, one of the cars is the real thing, the rest are not. You have to guess which is the real one. You can ask then to do burnouts to look for positraction, rev their engines, who can hold 8K, etc.
Anyway, I'm going to guess that I have to use that charger one more time after I return, and then................supercharge if I like. We'll see.
The pedestals went unused as far as I can tell and they are gone, they are not in the back fenced off area anymore. Ambient has a trailer that has been there from the start, they could be in that, but they take up a lot of room. I wanted to ask about all of the mysteries, but no one was there this weekend.

Once the green transformer is installed, which is the last part, it should take about 1-2 weeks to get the site energized.
So, look for the arrival of the transformer.

Taken yesterday around 4:15pm
I count 9 standing, 2 pipes for a total of 11. There is an odd space between 10 and 11 where the 12th could have been. Did I miss something?

You did. Behind the red cones, right on the green fencing, there is another one.
I circled it in red on my again really bad photo, I circled the last one shown in your photo in mine in blue.
There was not a sidewalk there before, it looks like there will be now, the funny spot might be ADA access.
You were however totally right about the rain delaying it

Here's why the pedestals ought to be totally "back into to charge" type. This is the Buellton, CA supercharger. There was the far one damaged a month ago and now the totally damaged one in the front. What's with people?
Yes, this is off topic, but was mentioned in an earlier post in this thread. This is a follow up.
For those that saw my earlier posts regarding the 70 amp Charger at Mechanics Bank in Goleta, it melted my adapter 3 or so weeks ago. Tesla Service Center took no responsibility, claiming it was the charger's fault. They had no other complaints. I suggested that was evidence it was my car's fault since many Teslas use it every day. Nope. They would not budge. Others in this forum suggested my 2.75 year old, well used adapter was at its end of life.... buy another and stop whining.
I mentioned the charger was owned by Tesla to the service center. Nope, not true. Tesla paid some amount of the installation cost, but is not the owner. So Tesla is still not accepting responsibility.
I bought a new adapter and after watching dozens of cars, many of them Teslas, successfully use the charger over a week or two I tried again. Doh! It melted my new adapter in 1 hour. This time the Tesla Service Center told me they have had several melted adapters from that location. Thanks. Would have been nice to tell me. I am on the hook to buy another one,
And when I say melted, the first one a month ago was deformed and hot to handle. The second one only mildly deformed and warm to handle, and neither one left any residue in the charger that I could see. Anyway, I reported it to Clipper Creek. Speechless with indifference, they said they would pass it on to the owner and let me know if the owner (they would not disclose who owned it) will fix it. That was 3 weeks ago... nada. I suppose I should ask in Mechanics Bank. But the main reason for this post: until the charging handle looks brand new, beware!
If you want to discuss, start a conversation with me, as this is off topic.

Ditto. My adaptor showed signs of overheating a few days ago @ 69 amps. Try limiting your charging current to 30 amps or so until this thing can be fixed. I will try to resolve this. Later.....
Well, it looks like they got to most of the wiring done to the stations, and they probably have to stop. The three remaining ones that are just tubes coming out of the ground look like the one in the photo, wires protruding, and the other nine look like the one in the photo, tops put on.
Something very large in the back under tarps.
