Hmm... post that here. Kinda hard to final without anything installed.
You may be looking at a separate permit for electrical work in the building.

I have a friend in Moses Lake who sent this to me on Sunday. Might be close to opening?

@ ALSET YXES See permit # EP3257928 dated 8/19/19. It says it is vehicle chargers and the first page of the permit says finaled.
That EP was pulled for only the below grade work. Second permit was pulled yesterday 12/18/2019 3320386E. CHARGE ON!!!

All due to Tesla laying-off their experienced PNW SC crew in January 2019, having an inexperienced "engineer" takeover 60 plus sites that they knew nothing about and of course delays in SC post production in Fremont.
Generally with a professionally managed project across any industry you would never see these kind of delays as experienced "Project Managers" know better than to start any project without the key resources secured, especially those resources that you control internally.
Given that the SC posts have been installed and without pictures showing the installed transformer or installed SC cabinets ETA on this site is TBD. If your buddy is able to shoot more pictures of the whole site then we can provide a rough ETA.
Cheers!
Merry Christmas & Happy New Years!!!
CHARGE ON!!!
Great to hear this is going hot fairly ‘soon’! We do B’ham to CdA frequently.
Currently on a sweet winter road trip to Tucson and back.

Not to derail this thread (so feel free to pm me), but I'm considering this drive in early Feb. Any insight into the best or your favorite route to Tucson? Thanks!
OK, to keep it on topic, we do Bellevue to Spokane pretty regularly and can't wait to see this come online!
I'd probably take the Utah route one way (Beaver to Page to Flagstaff) and the CA route the other. Check the weather and make the appropriate decision.
You'd save about 30 minutes driving time going through Eastern Nevada (Twin Falls to Wendover to Ely to Vegas), but you'd need to figure out some sort of overnight charge in Ely and even then, you'd have to get a full charge and drive carefully on the Ely to Vegas leg. I'm assuming you have an X100D so this should be doable in winter due to the elevation drop. Do not attempt in the reverse direction (you'd need to charge in Panaca and who knows how reliable that is... one entry on Plugshare). All in all it's probably not worth attempting the Eastern Nevada route, especially in winter. At least not until they put a supercharger in Ely.
There's also the route through Reno, but the Reno to Vegas drive is famously boring (admittedly the Ely drive isn't much better!) and all of the paths that connect Reno to I-5 (at Redding, Mount Shasta or Eugene) can be extremely snowy in winter) so I generally wouldn't recommend this one.

Unless that pad in the bottom right corner of this picture is the one that's waiting for the transformer. I don't see it in any of the other pics either.

Sorry to derail another thread. Hey, what can I say, it's a talent!
I saw that route through Eastern Nevada. Not happening in my 3.5 year old 90D though. I'll be taking the Utah route if the weather is conducive. Otherwise it's down through Cali and into supercharger overcrowding hell.
Thank you!
Mostly just the Bay Area and LA that get the crowding and you'll be avoiding those. I-5 between Sacramento and LA only gets supercharger crowding on a couple very specific days.Sorry to derail another thread. Hey, what can I say, it's a talent!

Ahh, good eye. I was there and didn't even notice that pad. Is there any change this is a version 3 charger? The cords look to be the same diameter as v2 so probably not I was hoping it would be.
