Very excited to see this Supercharger progressing. Will make the trip to Santa Barbara and back so easy. Also will allow skipping Hawthorne and only stop in SJC.

Delightful news! I plan to visit the site on the 21st! As long as I have no scheduling conflicts, I'll post more pictures.

They look to be at about the same stage now... But Indio started earlier. Indio is more important to me, but Oxnard would be nice for our trip to TMC Connect too!

I'm driving down from Oregon to the Mullin Museum next week. Sadly I don't think the SC will be operative. I'll check in and report progress.

It may take some extra time to trench for the electrical feed to the site. If you look at that other fenced off area in the left, rear of the picture, way back beyond the white trucks, that is where they have to trench to!

Great pics! Thanks for the update...
Has anyone noticed if the SuperCharger equipment is at the site?
Thanks!

The equipment, meaning the chargers and transformers are not there at this time.

Take a look at the annotated picture below from the Blanding construction. You are looking for the Supercharger Cabinets, and the Distribution Center. The transformer is usually delivered, and installed the same day, by the utility.
Yes, I understand exactly what chargers and transformers are. There are none on site. I can see through the slats of the wood surround, there is nothing inside.

Sorry to be pedantic, but "chargers" is sometimes ambiguous. Some people call the pedestals chargers, also. A picture is worth a thousand works, that is why I use the picture. In standard Tesla speak and drawings, a Supercharger Cabinet contains 12 charging modules and feeds two Pedestals (Charging Stations).
BTW, any sign of the Distribution Center on site? You did not mention that.
@Cottonwood, No distribution center either. I think this location may end up taking more time than usual as the power supply lines have to be trenched a long ways through the parking lot and through a large construction area that is currently building a "24 Hours Fitness" complex. There is a lot of heavy equipment operating exactly where the supply lines need to be trenched. My guess, thi location will be fully built with still some weeks for the supply. But, I could be wrong.
Aren't there some SuperCharger stations where a 12 charging module unit only feeds 1 pedestal? (i.e. a 120kW dedicated station)? I seem to recall Tesla doing that at least some places...
