Supercharger - Pembroke Pines, FL

It appears that Tesla's civil engineering plans were approved on May 31, 2018.

Yep, it seems the general contractor is getting their stuff together now.

I also see a Public Notice sign posted at the plaza entrance now. I suppose that could be zoning related but it's just as likely to be for construction of more buildings. I'm going to check it out more closely and see if I can trace the notice to something specific.

Once permits are issued is there a general guideline on how long it takes to complete construction and turn-up?

Hi Dave,

There's not a general guideline in my opinion. We have found some locations can take less than two months, or over a year. A lot depends on the permitting authority and how responsive the local utility is.

New update posted yesterday it seems they got more approvals and got a denial letter mailed to them regarding architecture.

some progress....

New update today seems to be on the home stretch.

They got approval from structural. Reading the documents electrical is just waiting for some value/$ amount and all remaining requirements appear to be regarding site inspection. Also seems there are some fees missing/due to finish it.

 

[DaveK.]

Site work has begun for this location within the past couple days. The online permit status indicates "Ready to Issue" and they're not wasting any time getting started.

It appears the Superchargers will be located along the North edge of the parking lot parallel to Pines Blvd between Chase Bank and Whole Foods.

Hi Larry,

Thank you! Glad to be here

i stopped by today since i live in the area. there is a fair amount of construction activity ongoing to get the site ready, but it looks like there is still quite a bit to do before they can install equipment. the construction work was spilling out onto the main road (Pines Blvd) today. It looked like they were having to run some underground cabling or doing something under the road.

In summary, the good news is that construction is coming along, the bad news is that there is still a ways to go.

Here are some pictures.

fyi i drove by today and didn’t see any tesla equipment yet. didn’t get a chance to stop so could have missed on some progress, but it looked to me like it was still a ways from completion

 

[Fadi]

I just passed by the site yesterday and looks things are moving along. They started with the poles

 

[MrPinrel]

Yes I agree, they have made good progress. When I drove by this weekend, I saw some pipes/conduit sticking up from the ground which made me think that they must have most of the "site prep" work done.Hopefully we start seeing Tesla equipment being installed soon.

 

[Anner J. Bonilla]

Just drove by transformers and actual chargers appear to be installed. Also around 4-5 stalls are installed didn't notice close enough to see if they wired the actual cords.

 

[MrPinrel]

yep, here are some pics!

 

[Anner J. Bonilla]

It seems they are missing to install 6 more stalls. They also have the car plugs installed already.
My understanding was that is done by tesla after construction.

 

[Anner J. Bonilla]

All 16 stalls are installed now it seems they are missing the fencing and some internals on the swotchboard since they have the panels laying besides the supercharger enclosures.

 

[DaveK.]

This site continues to move along nicely with passing of the final electrical inspection earlier today.

 

[Anner J. Bonilla]

It seems almost done fencing removed, wrapping removed , decorative walls added to electrical area. Didn't get out to check if they have a meter installed.

Final inspections for Engineering, Utilities, Fire, and Landscaping are all scheduled for Monday.

Could we really have live chargers next week?
