They folded up shop in the back, too, nothing there.
They did fix the ADA ramp, I'm not an expert but I thought it was missing something, and what I thought it was missing has been added, which leads me to believe that there is some type of inspection going on. I don't know how to describe what I thought was missing and i didn't take a picture, a bumpy pad.
Anyway, Goleta I think is doing virtual inspections now, and they made a change.
From the signage it appears that one charger is for ADA use only, though I did not read the sign, just saw it on my way out. Makes sense, though.
So now that that's fixed and the gravel is in it should be time for the asphalt...............................
At this rate Pismo Beach, which was "found" just over a month ago, is going to be open before ours.

“Bumpy pad” = for the blind? Given Tesla is the only car a blind person can drive.... ok, maybe not yet.
An ADA only spot and right across from a police station.... it will be interesting to see how this spot gets used if demand for these charges is only a fraction of what we think it will be.
How common is an ADA spot at superchargers? I can’t say I have noticed them and I have been to many. I seem to remember some ambiguous signage at the Buellton one. I never took the time to understand it.
No one there again today. Thus far.
They dug up the sidewalk that they had poured and put two of these plates in, at the ADA ramp.
Here is the sign
And no matter what I do, they upload sideways.

Not really sure.... if handicapped - do you need to be charging? If charging - do you need to be handicapped?
Or do you need to meet both criteria?
Is the fine the same for either infraction?
If being written a citation while your charge hits 100%, will you be able to disconnect and move your vehicle to prevent idle charges?

Ive never seen anyone fined for ICING. HOWever. There is a police station 100 feet away so maybe we can nail em here!
With a bit of poking through state guidelines, it looks like the builder of the charging facility has to put in an ADA compliant parking space(s). But parking spaces with chargers are, first, charging stations, and, second, an accessible parking spot. So not sure why they have the Minimum Fine $250 sign there. Might be useful to ask one of the deputies in the area what the local ordinance is.
Why do you say all that there is left to do is asphalt and also that Pismo will be done first? Seems like if only asphalt is left we'll be ready to go ASAP
My understanding is they are done save for light poles in the parking lot at Pismo. Asphalt and all, but I've not seen a picture of that.
Ours, they've done maybe 20 hours work in the last couple of weeks, it seems like they are going slow intentionally. They didn't even finish the fencing around the equipment. They might be waiting for inspections or something. They re-did the ADA ramp, I suspect someone told them to.

Doesn't work
Side note, it made the local news
Electric Vehicle Charging Stations Going Up in Goleta
You can see in their photo the big space between the chargers at the ADA ramp. Which looks different today. Their photo is probably a week or so old, it shows the rusty posts that were replaced by the pained black Tesla Only posts.
