Supercharger - Incline Village, NV

Any progress? Can someone take a look what is there now? (Nov. 14, 2018)

Its all closed for the Winter. They can't do anything until Spring. I don't know what the problem is but they wasted the Summer.

Shopping at rally’s and peeked to check on the supercharger and all the equipment and even the trench is gone!!

Is there any indication that they will be finishing this up next year, or have they given up?

No official word but it's still listed as "coming soon" so we'll have to see is anyone shows up in the spring.
It would be interesting to know what the problem was here. They started digging in the spring but then nothing happened all summer. They then closed up the trenches (as required) in October. Don't know if it was a permit problem, site problem, contractor problem or ?

They won't be able to do any work until April 15 at the earliest... at the rate they have been going, I wouldn't hold my breath.

The Tahoe Regional Planning Agency, which has oversight of construction in the Tahoe basin (on both sides of the state borders), has a yearly blanket ban on construction with ground disturbance activities between October 15th and May 1st (rainy/snowy season)--though sometimes the digging/grading season starts or ends a little earlier or later depending on that year's weather. This is to limit the amount of sediment run-off that ends up in the lake. So, assuming the season will open on its usual date, they aren't allowed to do anything on the supercharger build site until the beginning of May.

Looks like May 1 has come and gone. Anyone in the area notice any progress or re-start on this one?

 

[mspohr]

Stopped by today. Absolutely no sign of any work. All the equipment and storage is gone.

They must be holding out for v3, a vast solar canopy, and battery storage.

My guess is that Tesla was waiting for a dedication ceremony. My dogs just baptized the site via sprinkling. Tesla can now proceed.

Change of contractors. Will be finished this summer.

Over/Under September 22nd. We know how this goes...

I just can't imagine this SC will be useful - the parking lot is so crammed most of the day that those spots just have to be ICEd. Worse, they're near the loading area for the Raleys and I've seen trucks parked that essentially prevent getting into those spots - it's a very tight area between the building and the embankment on the other side.
Maybe I'm just being a pessimist...

I agree. Not a good location.

The sign does say:

"GENERAL PARKING FOR ALL VEHICLES

VEHICLE CHARGING PREFERRED"

The one in Incline has 30 minute general parking planned for all the spaces I believe. Not that anyone actually reads signs.
