If I’m not mistaken, there’s a transformer installed already. The “Edison” lettering looks to be a vault door for the underground trench.

Once it’s active it won’t be employee parking. Tesla and/or the hotel wouldn’t be spending 6 figures for employee parking.
As far as the transformer, that might be an existing one. 16kv and 4kv seems way too small for a SC. I think they would need at least a 300kva one for 8 urban chargers (72kw x 8 x 480v). The door labeled Edison is indeed an underground vault but the piece of wood anchored by the sandbag is likely covering the open conduits that will be under the transformer covering the rest of that pad.
If you look at the early construction pictures you can see if the transformer was pre existing.

Has anyone checked this site recently I believe we are close to completion or it might already be energized.

They have a maximum output of 72kW as opposed to 150kW V2's or 250kW V3's. They use the same electronics as V2's but the power is not shared between pedestals like V2's. The pedestals look different also:

Almost, one under construction in Miami Beach and one permitted in San Francisco.
I stopped here late on Sunday the 5th, around 11pm. Gates to the hotel parking lot left open so you can get in. BUT be advised if you're heading toward LA that the onramp to 101 southbound is under construction, so you have to drive a couple of miles local to get back on the freeway.
Got it, thank you. For whatever reason my car never pulls more than 90kW at any station. Anyway, I'd not heard of an urban charger, now I know.

Actually the power is shared, just an even split with a 72kw max that doesn’t change. They use the same V2 150kw cabinets, 2 pedestals per cabinet. It’s just how the sharing works that is different.
