Supercharger - Lincoln, CA (LIVE 14 Oct 2020, 8 V3 stalls)

It appears that's what is going in now. Take a look at the photo. The pad to the right is where the PG&e equipment will go if I'm not mistaken.

Those cabinets are for the power distribution portion. The empty pads are for both Tesla's switchgear (pictured) and the utility transformer (not pictured). So, definite progress but not everything is on site yet.

I was at the site this morning, and they are boring underground from near the large transformer that is along the road to the east. Most likely, this is tapping in to the main underground, and feed the new transformer, that was not on site yet. They seem to be working fairly steadily, now that the elk Grove supercharger is open.

Nice to see all the work going on there. Looks like the time is near after months of inaction. I'll enjoy seeing how fast these V3 chargers are but I doubt I'll use it much as its so close to where I live.

The Tesla Switch Gear & Power Distribution Equipment was put in place today. Still waiting for PG&E’s Transformer which should placed just to the left on the empty pad next to Tesla’s Switch Gear in the above picture. Need to watch in the next 6 weeks specially after PG&E’s Transformer shows up here.

The sidewalk next to the transformer across the street is torn up so it looks like the transformer work is in process.

Sidewalk next to the transformer across the street is still torn up. On the road next to it, the hole was filled and repaved or patched.
unable to upload picture on this post. will try in a separate post.

Good news!!!

Noticed today that our PG&E Transformer was installed sometime this last week. Thats our Tesla in the picture.
The Superchargers are not powered up as yet. Need to keep watch for more activity here for power up Time and testing.

Was here checking on this, this afternoon.
Sidewalk next to the transformer across the street has been paved, but not set yet.
We still do NOT have power to our Tesla V3 Superchargers as yet. It looks likes this will be completed anytime now.

First one to charge here at Lincoln, CA Supercharger
Power is on, Testing passed just now per crew that is there now.

This Supercharger just popped up on my Tesla App and on our in car's Teals's Map as "Lincoln, CA - Groveland Lane".
In our car's Tesla Map it shows this site as 250kW... It is official now.

Thanks bmah for alerting @MarcoRP ...

What’s really stunning is that this location is now open exactly 365 days after having been added on Supercharge Info. lol

In regards to the thread title, I'm 99.9997% sure the current month is October.

Any idea why those UK locations have been in “Construction “ for 2 years? Any Idea what the holdup is?

You're not the only one to ask (and it's actually been almost four years now): Reddit post
Short answer: Tesla started construction on the site before ensuring they had sufficient power supply, and they apparently couldn't convince the neighbors to let them upgrade the lines through their properties. There must be existing electrical power to the location to serve the other businesses located there (unless they are all on generator power!), but I guess it doesn't have enough capacity for multiple fast chargers.
So if you think the Lincoln SC taking a year was a long time, things could be much worse.

Very nice; first supercharger right off my commute route in case I ever forget to plug in at home.
