No activity all last week. Also, no additional digging so far for the 2 additional boxes that arrived on site last week.

 

[Cyberjr]

Activity today. The site was torn up and all the bases were removed. Not sure what the hell happened. But they were excavating the area today Multiple employees on site.

Sounds like another Blaine situation. Bummer.

So who is at fault in these situations & the one in Blaine?

I skimmed through that Blaine thread. What I got is that it was installed incorrectly by the first installer and second installer was chosen to install it correctly. To me, it's on the first installation company and I doubt they were paid.

For Blaine, it looks like the project was set back by roughly two months. I'm assuming Owatonna will similar, which sucks. For me personally, as long as it's available by Winter, I'm happy.

A electrical co crew was working on the site last week. They have installed 8/12 of the charger bases. Also, I took a photo of the PO for the 2 additional dispensers or maybe inverters. Thinking Level 1/2 or possibly DCFC.

A. This is Lincoln Electric Products Co. They provide industrial electric service equipment. ( Switch Gear assemblies) in this case.

B. The other (Lincoln Electric) is the well known Welder manufacturer. They recently announced entering the DCFC market with a 50kW CCS-1 dispenser.

The Packing slip is for a Switchgear unit. from Company A.

OEM Manufacturer. Very tall switchgear. 2 packages also. Can't wait for them to break them open for conformation.

I confirmed with Tyler the owner of Culver's the site host for Owatonna SC. 12 dispensers only. Not 14 as originally thought. Construction is behind schedule but he said they are catching up. No additional dispenser for there property that he knows of? He said they approached him almost 1.5 years ago about his site. They provide the land and Tesla takes care of the rest.

The bases area all finally in and the site is getting closer to the electrical work. Will have a pictures of install soon.

Anything new from Owatonna?

 

[Cyberjr]

Will do an update on a drive by tonight. Been a sh*t show on everything but the electrical contractor that had been held up.

 

[Cyberjr]

Not sure WTF is going on? The 3 cabinets were removed early last week, concrete base broken up and guessing some issue we're found. This is not how to install a site. Photos from last weekend. Electrical contractor now repairing the base for 3 cabinets. Hopefully replaced and wiring yet this week.

I’m guessing there was a need to add or reconfigure some conduit.
