The pour is now complete ! The silver poles turned into larger brown colored poles. And there are two new Superchargers installed. Up next: Wood form removal, electrical cabinet install, heavy gauge wire pulling, drinks at the Mexican restaurant.

No Longer Silver
My contribution to this thread. Pics taken today.
If I'm reading this correctly, the larger DCFC non-Tesla stations will be capable of 280kw on CCS1 and 80kw on Chademo. Interestingly, the spots marked for handicap have both a supercharger and a smaller DCFC (presumably 50kw) but obviously both couldn't be used at the same time.

Looks like things are about wrapped up except for the parking lot striping. I saw the guys working over where the L2 chargers are supposed to be going in, so I went over to that corner to see what was going on. It turns out that they were just filling in some pavement that had been removed, so no movement on the L2 chargers. Would be great if the site was ready on Sunday morning when I head off to Vegas. If they light it up while I'm gone then someone else is going to get their picture in the paper
ain't going to be ready by Sunday lol, Pasadena needs to approve and sign off.Looks like things are about wrapped up except for the parking lot striping.

One benefit here is that Pasadena is a municipal utility. Tesla will not have to wait on a major utility like PG&E or SCE to place the transformer. The city is involved with the project, so they can streamline the process. I'm not saying they will, but they could.
In the previous Pasadena charging plaza project that the city and Tesla collaborated on, they got final inspection approvals and the site was charging cars that same day. But they also had the utility transformer installed really early in the project, like a month before all the other work was done. It was a below ground unit installed in an underground vault, so I'm not sure that the prior timely performance on that one will translate as this project may be working to different timelines and have different scheduling needs.
I don't know if the underground transformer is in yet or not. The recent photos have included PWP trucks parked right next to where the underground vault is. If I had to guess I would think that it is in place. I'll drop by after work today and take some pictures. With the fencing up I haven't been able to get right next to the vault like I used to. And from what I hear, the sushi in prison isn't as good as it used to be...
