Fence is up and cutting away pavement where the pad will go.

Awesome

I go there at wholefoods all the time

Construction has actively started on the Market Street location.

 

[CarlSagan]

Trenches are dug and equipment starting to show up. Supercharger nerds help me out here - I think we’re looking at the AC/DC switches here? At first glance I was hoping they were the V3 cabinets that have vents on the top instead of hood on the back but they’re not either way this project is moving quickly.

Is there anything on the packaging or slip that says Tesla? Just wondering if it might actually be a different charging station

That cabinet is part of the switchgear (contains the circuit breakers, disconnects, and/or fuses). It's the equivalent of your house's main circuit breaker panel.

 

[CarlSagan]

6 charger cabinets have arrived and crew is now measuring laying electrical pipes in the trenches. Work also being done to clear debris to pour the pad.

 

[CarlSagan]

Pipes are all in place to house wiring, trenches getting filled back in and pad area being cleared. First few forms have been put in place - looks like we should see concrete getting poured soon. And 12 stalls confirmed.

I was there on the site today. The cabinets are on site, and they are standard V2 cabinets. It is pretty safe to assume the power output of the station in this site will be 150kW.

More progress placing all forms and rebar for stalls - just waiting on concrete. Trench from cabinets to transformer is dug and pad area is getting its electric piping to connect everything.

Hope it is finished soon. I drive from the Cape to Essex regularly and this one would be convenient.

 

[zaako]

Anyone have any guesses on how much time may be left to finish this up?

 

[CarlSagan]

And here’s the daily update ...

 

[CarlSagan]

New curb stones were put in place along the chargers today, more gravel to fill in below the pad and a layer of insulation on top of it.

 

[Scolman]

They’re still working on it. 10 am this morning.

 

[CarlSagan]

Pad and cabinets are in!

 

[shadownddust]

So close! Think it might be operational by 4th of July?

 

[CarlSagan]

I wouldn't plan on it. Additional work now being done to extend trenches for connecting transformer to the main line. Crew has been working on the cabinets, curb stones, and new trenches for the last few days.

 

[CarlSagan]

Not much visual progress over the last week - extending the connection from where transformer will go to the main road took a good deal of time. That trench is now getting filled back in as of today. Fence is up around the cabinets. And a giant spoil of cable arrived today woohoo!

Still no sign of supercharger units themselves.
