Construction Update – August 11th
I think ReddyLeaf will be surprised when he visits Thursday evening. The guys from SDK Electric take a lot of pride in the lowest number of days possible to build out a Supercharger location. I’m betting the job will be substantially complete by then. I think the job site sat idle during the weekend because they were waiting for the masonry contractor to build the cinderblock wall around the charging equipment.
Weekend status – ready for surround wall
Today the wall reached full height.
Tomorrow they will be pouring the curb along front of the superchargers. See forms.
Tomorrow they will finish the charger station assembly.
5 have the LEDs installed to light up the Tesla logo.
2 have the charger covers in place, but no charging cable.
Note: Curb form in foreground and
Transformer and equipment enclosure in background
1 charger is complete with charging cable ready.
Tomorrow the masons will put a cap on the wall and cleanup
Remaining activities after tomorrow . . .
· Stucco the enclosure
· Hang the doors
· Paint the equipment enclosure
· Replace asphalt that was cutout for utility access
· Strip the parking bays
· Clean up
· Landscape
· Get utility inspection
· Wait for Tesla engineer to commission the site
SDK Electric probably has built more than 20 Supercharger locations by now and they do a GREAT JOB!
Tesla please send this truck to Twin Falls next. Okay Gillette would be almost as good.
