Supercharger - Milpitas, CA (LIVE 15 Nov 2018, 16 stalls)

[Dag]

Took some pics this morning. Nothing new it seems, they moved the fence near the electrical cabinets for car parking. The charging pedestals might be located near the hotel renovation site (I see no evidence yet) so they may wait until that's near completion before proceeding.

Drove by today, no progress today at this site.

 

[Dag]

No changes. Hotel renovation still in progress.

Earlier today I saw men working on something inside the fence as I was passing by on Calaveras

I wonder what. No visible progress. Holes that were there months ago were filled and everything else is similar. No transformer present.

It makes sense to me that they’d wait until either or both of the transformer and the restaurant renovation are near complete before proceeding with the pedestals, which should be comparatively easy to finish.

I’m curious to know if the new pads already installed have sufficient conduit underneath them. I never saw the conduits, so perhaps I missed the telltale signs.

Update?

Update?

No update here. You are in Fremont? How about checking it out and reporting back?

Drove by this morning. No changes, however I did see ~5 signs stating "no parking from 7/23-7/25" in front of the electrical cabinets. Changes might be on the horizon....

I wish I went. That would have been interesting.

There were 3-4 PGE vans parked near the transformer today. Wonder if that is inspection work?

 

[Dag]

PG&E did install a transformer this week. Curious that this site should receive a transformer, when it doesn't even have charging pedestals yet, but the Los Gatos site "seems" to just need a transformer to complete the site.

Maybe since the Los Gatos ones have been vandalized they put the transformer here first and trying to work out security at LG before installing any more equipment there. This area looks like it would get a lot more foot traffic than the LG location.

 

[Dag]

Drive by, no updates to report.

Sixteen stalls may go here: from the cone to the left 16 spaces exactly. It makes no sense to have them in another location.

My 2¢.

My guess is that the delay maybe to have construction on the supercharger pedestals in standby until renovation work nearby is completed.

Checked today as wells, it seemed like they have cleaned up and reduced their construction area near the hotel.

Anyone drove by and check recently? I'll be visiting the area. This is great location compared to Fremont Hub or HQ.

You can check your car nav to see if a Supercharger location is active.

Drove by this morning. Half section of the fence for the hotel work was taken down this week. Still see no signs of the charging pedestals still. However there was a few workers inside the electrical cabinets.

 

[philgrocks]

Drove by around 2PM today and their were electricians with spools of wire pulling thru conduit.

Thought these SCs might be up before I go to the factory to pick up our Model 3 (in case it wasn't charged much when I get it and would stop by), but getting the car in about 2 weeks now so not so sure. I do like this location.
