Are you speculating that this is a permit issue, or is there documentation that this is a permit issue?
This post reminds me of Cartman being “brave enough to ask questions.”

Everything passed permitting reviews before it was issued. I believe the issue was with there not being enough power available from the utility and needing to bring more in. That could get into govt red tape.
Finally some progress! The fencing was open, so I could get a good look.
A pad-mounted switchgear cabinet has been delivered - PMH-9 from S&C Electric Company. I assume the tie in to the high-voltage supply under the road has now been completed.
Presumably a transformer is needed and would go on the second concrete pad? Anything else required?

As long as the transformer or Tesla switchgear cabinet has a place for a meter then no. Otherwise you’d need a freestanding meter base pad but it doesn’t look like there is one so it’s likely on the Tesla equipment.

Can you or anyone else in the area confirm that this permit is likely for Tesla Destination chargers at Boulder Creek Apartments? Seems highly unlikely it would be a SC but you never know these days.
Lots of utility folks onsite today. Looks like some more progress.
More activity today - wiring up the new switchgear cabinet and getting wiring prepared for transformer. Really friendly worker was there who told me transformer is getting installed tomorrow. He thought the site could be ready to go in about a week; mainly depends on inspections.
One other thing ... I checked the Sammamish permit - it was marked as 'Finaled' on Tuesday 2/20.

I checked yesterday - no sign of any Tesla chargers; the property manager was vague, but I believe this permit is for future resident AC chargers.

Was here almost everyday this week while visiting in Sammamish.
Looks like this site is almost ready to turn up. To bad for me, this will most likely turn up after I leave for home early next week.

Disappointing to see that the site not open yet. They have started to fill in the trench where the power was brought in and all around the electrical equipment, but that's it. Given the charging posts are in a different location, I think they could have opened the site without the landscaping being complete. Maybe this week?!
Let's hope the forthcoming 16 stall site down in Issaquah goes quicker than this one!
