Supercharger - Mesa, AZ

[AZ Ed]

Construction progress pictures today, December 3, 2022, at the Mesa Supercharger site, 1859 S Stapley Dr, Mesa, AZ. No workers on site in the rain today and the construction fence makes it difficult to take pictures. I took these pictures blindly by holding the camera above the top of the fence. The transformer, switchgear and charger cabinets are installed. The 12 charging posts are on site (shown in previous post #45) but not installed. No evidence of any wire pulled in. The yellow construction taped area is probably for the conduit to the utility connection.

Pedestals are up.

Nice, thank you everyone for the updates. Hopefully its up and running in the next week or three.

Hey!! Some daytime photos. I believe that some wires were pulled today to the pedestals themselves. Transformer is on site. No SRP transformer wire work yet.

I just talk to the guys on site, they think it might be ready next week Tuesday.

"Tomorrow." So sayeth the foreman onsite. SRP just approved the installation (You can see the SRP truck in the background, 9 a.m. Wed). Only remaining task is for Tesla to buy off.

Just caught the SRP guys pulling out in their truck around 11:15am and they said in their testing they noticed the oil gauge was registering at zero so they are going to have to get that checked out before they can turn it on. They weren't sure if it just needed oil or if they need to get a new transformer. They said they are hoping it could be open by Friday.

@edigest thanks for the heads up on this site. I can check on the status tonight on my way home from a Christmas party, but it may be 9:00 PM or later.

Based on what @innsxtc found yesterday morning and my follow-up that afternoon, it isn't looking good for today. Still, I plan to go by around COB to see if anyone is around.

Some other soon to be ready tells are full site clean up, stall stripes, stall tire curb stops, fencing/equipment removal and then….’red power lights.’

It’s concerning that there may be low oil in the transformer. Maybe the gauge? Humm, SRP’s gauge??? I thought transformers were sealed units??? I need some edge-a-ma-cation on transformers. Anyone?

Let’s hope it’s a quick fix.

It's 10:40. Was just told Mesa should be open in 20 minutes.

Cleaning up. Fences are gone, replaced by caution tape for now.

Thanks @edigest . Maybe we can meetup there. I'll be there at about 11:30 AM, in a gray P85 Model S (nosecone).
