Thanks for the great photos!
Even has the meter holder. Just waiting on that sometimes elusive utility transformer and perhaps a meter.

Fencing is down, but still waiting on CPS transformer. No numbers yet on the charging posts.

Perhaps, just maybe, the owner of the power company is not too motivated to do anything to help Tesla or Elon Musk.

CPS is owned by the City of San Antonio. Motivation may be difficult to determine in a publicly owned entity like this, not that public entities are bad things, but "to help Tesla or Elon Musk" will certainly not be in the mission statement.
Not saying they are bad - but it does seem extremely coincidental that no vendor of fast chargers has been able to get an installation inside the 410 loop.
It's not like none of them are trying either. It seems much more purposeful than accidental.

Wild guess may be due to CPS Energy runs a network of Level 2 chargers in San Antonio with Chargepoint? Other than that would not know.

That network is so dilapidated, I forget it even exists. Back when I had a Leaf, I used it all the time as they had stations at almost every movie theater here and it was $30 for a year of unlimited charging.
When the pandemic hit, they doubled the price to $60 and removed many of their stations, specifically the ones at movie theaters. It was barely worth it for 50% working chargers at the old price in convenient locations, now it makes no sense.
CPS is pretty bad at doing just about anything, so I'm guessing this is probably sitting on someone's desk in paperwork purgatory somewhere.
The transformer has arrived. Getting close. Needs the meter and to be commissioned. One cabinet appears to have been damaged.
I noticed the bent top on that grill several photos back, but assumed it would still operate OK. May have occurred in shipping?

Meter installed, but site not yet active. Looks like they are ready to be activated any day now. No obvious work left to be completed.
