Saw an excavator and some work trucks back there today. Someone with a more compatible vehicle might wanna go take a peek.

I don’t have an excavator of my own but can try with my MY

No Tesla branded stuff visible yet but given the permit, trenching, and conduit, I think we can assume this is supercharger construction.

Or the biggest EA site yet

Can one of the supercharge.info admins move the site location pin/cone to the parking area behind the Bartells. Judging by the photos just posted, the actual location is not by SR99 but in the northeast corner of the lot in an overflow parking area. My Google maps drop pin puts it at lat/long 47.865409, -122.282946.

I stopped by Everett and decided to drop by Lynwood as well. Hoped to spot some Tesla gear but alas. I really hope Tesla adds some lights to this location as this space is very uncomfortable at night time. I wouldn’t adventure far from the car at night here.

Looks pretty well-lit to me. I’m not sure the neighbors would be fans of more lighting coming through their windows at night. Also, it’s been proven that bright lighting doesn’t actually deter crime - it just increases the illusion of safety without actually providing additional safety.

The bigger problem (if you can call it that) is this particular area is behind the store in a very secluded spot. Next to a HWY popular with all sorts of seedy characters.

True, the camera is doing a bit of heavy lifting for lighting. It does seem placed in a spot that feels unsafe. I’m pretty optimistic about safety in places and I felt a bit uneasy here.

Funny that it will probably have tiered charging encouraging people to arrive after 11pm and before 8am to get the cheap rates.

Someone on FB posted pictures of Tesla equipment on site

Construction is, indeed, active. Stalls are installed along the far wall.

Here's the site, seen this morning.

Question for the forum:

Does anybody know why the contractors on all Tesla SC sites under construction seem to put no more than a few hours a week into it? Is it the same crew working a little bit on this new SC site, then that one, etc?

 

[Mrbrock]

Inspections. Things have to be approved before they can continue. You see most of the dirt work done working non stop but once they start putting in conduit and running wire they need approval before they can continue.

Dig ticket filed for transformer trenching and install.
