Separate EV permit was approved in January followed by issuance of building permit.
Bigger news is this site is under construction as evidenced by passed underground electrical and foundation inspections.
No one shopping at 99 Ranch in the last month has noticed this?

There is no way to tell by looking at the charging pedestals if the new hardware allowing multiple manufacturers to charge there is incorporated. I’m sure Tesla will announce it once the tens of thousands of pedestals have completed the hardware switch out.
Magic docks are dead
NACS adapters to CCS plugs will be around for a while but once other manufacturers vehicles have been re-engineered to NACS, those adapters will have gone the way of the dodo bird also!
Picture of a ‘hardware’ switch out in progress.

This post doesn't quite seem to apply to this site. The pictures look like a near duplicate of a post you did to the Mountain View (Grant Rd.) thread?

Ah yes!! You’re correct.
I should have stated that the hardware switch out pictured here in post #5 is of the Mountain View (Grant Rd) CA supercharger.
I was wondering how will we know if this site here or (any site) will have the NACS electronic circuit boards inside, making the site capable of charging other manufacturers vehicles.
What’s the ‘tell’ ? What do we look for?
Will Tesla identify them?

Theres no tell. It is an internal board. Tesla is putting these in EVERY V3 site. I don't think they will make this feature live until all V3 sites have the new boards. Also, I think you are using the wrong terminology. Every Supercharger ever made has NACS circuitry inside. What is being added is essentially CCS compatibility so it will work with NACS to CCS adapters.
Are the last 5 photos in post #4 from this site?
