Supercharger - Lake Arrowhead, CA (LIVE 17 Nov 2021, 8 V3 stalls)

We went mountain biking at Skypark this evening, and stopped by Lake Arrowhead Village afterwards. As you enter the village from Highway 173, toward the lower level, there is a small parking lot off to the right. Tesla has cabinets and some heavy equipment stored here.
Wow, great job with the photo documentation! Thanks for spending so much time and making sure to get everything.

Stopped by Lake Arrowhead Village today on my way up to Big Bear and checked the structure to see if there are any changes since the last post with pictures. Looks like some of the cabinets have been placed outside but not much else. I’m not sure what I’m looking for really, first time posting pictures of a supercharger installation.

The charging pedestals are in the boxes in the fourth photo. Two per box for a total of 8.
The two identical white boxes with fans and ventilation grating at the top are the V3 chargers, each of which can serve four pedestals.
The larger white box looks like switchgear for hooking up the chargers to the transformer, which will likely be installed on the empty pad behind it, after it is wired to the utility feed using the vault space below it.
 
Forgot to post this earlier, but we briefly stopped by Lake Arrowhead Village on Friday, Sept. 10, and I exchanged greetings with a construction worker. They were actively working on the power cabinets and the conduit. They hadn't yet started on installing the charging stalls themselves.

The worker said that they hope to be done with the project in two weeks. He also couldn't "confirm or deny" that they're installing Superchargers, which was sort of funny considering that Tesla-labeled hardware is all over the place!
 
San Bernardino County released the project to SCE. So I assume now we are waiting on the transformer to arrive. Several inspections in the days around 9/23/21 occurred. Inspected 9/22 one note and then "APPROVED MSP AND RELEASED TO SCE 9-23-2021 JG". One could assume everything is ready minus the transformer I think. I can't confirm in person for a few weeks.
 
I'm there every weekend and, so far, it still looks like it does in the September 4, 2021 post. The outdoor portion seems more complete now (I haven't gone to the interior part recently to see if the stalls have been installed). Seems like everything is more or less there -- shouldn't be much longer.
