We just got home from vacation this afternoon and I saw this site tonight. But, I see the Forum is on the spot as usual! Here are the pics I took tonight, before the big rains come and yeah I counted 16 pedestals. I will keep watch on this site since it's so close to home (will be the closest to us).

Edit: And I was surprised to see this as Laguna Hills, even though I've lived in the area for 20+ years. I was going to post this under Mission Viejo or Laguna Niguel, but I see now the railroad tracks are the division between MV & LH cities in this part. The stores like Best Buy, on the other side of the tracks, are in MV. That shopping center was always oddly placed, however, considering it's only accessible closer to Oso. Laguna Niguel starts in between Oso and Crown Valley, so further South. Good to know.

Excellent! One under construction in Lake Forest off of Muirlands too. My fear is they’ll be criminally expensive like some of the others nearby ($0.55-$0.61 per kWh is getting into “ridiculous” territory which I’ve seen at a few others in this area). With any luck it’ll provide enough capacity to reduce wait times at places like MV mall, which can get really busy, and hopefully the competition will result in some better pricing too.

The two stations in MV are 72kW chargers, Tesla is putting in V3 in nearly all new stations including this new one. The one in Lake Forest is still not open despite being visually completed two weeks ago. I spotted a work pickup or two on two occasions with someone working on the cabinets, open soon I hope. I live 2 blocks away.

Yea they still have the plastic bags over the units - not sure what the holdup is. City inspection?

Quick update on this site. They're starting to put the pedestals in the ground.

 

[Falcon73]

Now, if the rain would just let up for a while. More in the forecast today thru Wed...

This is the coldest and wettest start to the year I can remember since growing up in SoCal. What happened to La Niña? lol.

LOL Seriously, I have been in LA for 13 years and never seen so much water/cold/snow. And all this rain eventually delays ground work. But we also need the water.

The bags were off and the stalls were illuminated (the red “Tesla” letters lit up) as of last night. Hoping that means they’re active now.

I think you meant to post this comment to the Lake Forest thread. Yep, that one is live. But yeah, there's so much going on right now, it's hard to keep it all straight!

 

[TarmacSurfer]

Yep - thought it was all in the same thread but you’re correct.

I stopped by here yesterday as well. Not much to report except they closed the part of the fence that was open last time. The rain should let up for a while, so that should help get things moving.

 

[Falcon73]

Attached are the latest pics, from today, not a whole lot of progress to report once again.

 

[Falcon73]

I took a few pics today, not much change.

 

[Falcon73]

Here's the latest report, from today, and I'm glad there has been much progress since the last report.

 

[Falcon73]

This site is coming along nicely.

 

[Falcon73]

This site is almost done. Also waiting on SDG&E, it seems.

So much love for the I-5 corridor between the El Toro Y and the San Diego County border! Not much of an update. Picture attached. Looks done. Turn it on!!
May the fourth be with you!!
