Ha. Go and look at the forum discussion about the Coney Island, Brooklyn Supercharger that opened up a couple of weeks ago. Mobbed by non-Tesla people who take advantage of the Magic Dock. (Mostly Taxi drivers, but still.)I'm surprised to see that most stalls in this location are pull-in. Anyone know what factors might cause tesla to use this design? I'm doubtful it's local building codes since the station on Bernardo has back-in stalls.
The main transformer still needs to be installed on the junction box pad to the left, covered by cones in your picture.Quazite box.
The giant green box connected to the Tesla cabinets is the transformer.The main transformer still needs to be installed on the junction box pad to the left, covered by cones in your picture.

Stand-alone meter base/box? Looks to big for that though. Maybe another smaller transformer?That's what I was thinking. So what do you suppose the other pad is for? It's too small for a Megapack, so...???...

I was told by PG&E workers that there would be two transformers. I saw the first one (which you are referring to) being installed. A surprisingly large part of its volume is taken up by wires as fat as my wrist connecting to the bus bars to the Tesla equipment.The giant green box connected to the Tesla cabinets is the transformer.
That sounds right as far as what’s inside. 32 stalls could mean 1 large and 1 small transformer. @1100MCM what say you?I was told by PG&E workers that there would be two transformers.

Transformer is already in and ready to go. Was just trying to figure the other pad and what we were waiting forA single 3325 kVA transformer is in the works there. That's good for up to 40 V3s. The other pad is for the utility pad mounted interrupters.
Usually you wouldn't have a transformer installed without the high voltage wiring being in place so this is definitely something interesting.We may be waiting for a lot. The trenching runs to hole currently covered in sheets of plywood. From there towards Grant Road are lots of USA (underground service alert) spray-paint markings on the sidewalk and the street pavement, ending on the other side of Grant at two underground vaults in the sidewalk. So we could be waiting for more trenching and conduit installation along Phyllis Avenue and across Grant, plus installation of whatever belongs on that empty concrete pad in the parking lot.

(Those two vaults are right in front of a private residence. Those people are going to get a close-up experience of the construction whether they want it or not.)
I think the hardware is for CCS vehicles with NACS adapters. Any new vehicles with NACS ports will have the right protocols to use the SuC network without these boards. Current CCS vehicles with an adapter need these boards to work, similar to Magic Dock.Each pedestal is having a hardware change out to make them NACS handshake capable. Eventually making magic docks unnecessary. (Magic docks are probably going away; my guess). The new pedestal hardware will make each of these charging stalls compatible (complete the handshake) with all new NACS vehicles.
Photos…. The hardware switch out.
I disagree. The burden of NACS compatibility for V3 Superchargers is completely on Tesla's side. A CCS vehicle with a NACS adapter is likely to be indistinguishable from a native NACS vehicle as far as a charging station is concerned.I think the hardware is for CCS vehicles with NACS adapters.
