A report on the supercharge.info forum says that this site is under construction - is that based on the info in this thread or has there been more definitive evidence over the last few days?
I submitted it to supercharge.info. It is under construction, not sure what more definitive evidence you want other than Tesla labeled items. I will take more pics later this week if it has changed.
Crates labeled “Tesla” would be nice to see. All I have seen so far is temp fencing, some asphalt cuts, and a few small diameter PVC pipe stubs that are likely for parking lot light poles. Not what I would describe as “Supercharger construction”.
Breaking ground is when construction begins, it definitely is ‘supercharger construction’ they may not have started the pedestals but even the grading they did + clearing of the bushes and brush along the north was part of the supercharger project
No one will be happier than me when you are proven correct!
I would love a Supercharger at this location when I am towing my trailer to Humboldt Redwoods State Park.
I think anything that definitively shows it's more than just a parking lot expansion would qualify. You're very likely right that this is the beginning of the supercharger install, but on the chance that the stalls aren't going to be going in any time soon I think it's better to wait for evidence of that stage of construction instead of possibly having the "building cone" up on supercharge.info for a really long time before there's any real move to complete the project. YMMV.
I traded cars back last week and someone was unloading a forklift from a trailer and adding it to the equipment. I bet they start next week if the weather isn’t too bad.
Stuff in Laytonville....
Chinese restaurant at the SC is actually not bad(&no MSG) they had some Thai specials the last time we stopped there.
Grocery store across the highway has a deli, coffee, hardware & everything else.
The Chief makes some pretty tasty burgers/ brisket etc. So. end of town
Lots more in between

Stopped at Boomers parking lot today on my way to my home in Eureka. Talked with a Hooven construction crew member who verified that it was the Supercharger site. He said that they are going to be there for two weeks doing grading and stuff. He also said that the real installation hopefully will begin around Valentine’s Day.
Conflict with the chargepoint side(near 101). There will be 4 dual CP chargers and I think 8 SC spaces to begin with, not 100% sure about SC cabinets but there were 4 there today. Not sure about electrical starting in 2 weeks, prime contractor wasn’t surely about that...still 135Kw units
Soooo they started working without contacting Caltrans and they are in our right of way. It shouldn’t be too big of a deal. They are sending a surveyor up tomorrow and I assume re doing the trench( in the pic). That one is for the CP chargers, it should be 5 ft to the left It will be a neat stop I think, especially with the new ‘premium’ EVs that should be coming out in the next few years. Will be able to check out there. Probably just bolts for quite a while though.

Somebody should have known to get permission.Soooo they started working without contacting Caltrans and they are in our right of way. It shouldn’t be too big of a deal.

Does anyone have an update on this supercharger. I have friends in Fort Bragg and would love to eventually be able to charge here when driving from Seattle. Otherwise I have to go to Ukiah to have enough charge to get back out
Likely not many TMC members driving through there in the wintertime. But no doubt @Zextraterrestrial will be able to give us an update soon.
I'll be needing this in early June, as I'm headed up the coast en route to Vancouver Island with my camper. Looking forward to the addition to the network!
