Here's a rough before-and-after pic.
Let me know if you have any requests.

I drove by there today and saw that construction and hoped that was the new supercharger going in!

I was close to this area today so I swung by and got a few pictures for the forum. I'm pretty sure I saw the foreman (only person wearing a Tesla hard hat and vest) but he was on the phone and I did not want to disturb him. Judging from the other photos I have seen in this thread they are making a lot of progress, hopefully these will be available soon.

Five or six cabinets? Would you take close up pictures of the tags.

Yep, I can do that - I'll be back over there later this week.

I stopped by this morning. Definitely 5 cabinet. I took pictures of the tag but realized after driving away that they weren’t that clear. There was definitely activity as early as 7 AM #teamworkmakesthedreamwork

The tags show that these are V2.5 like a number of other recent installs. So, they'll be 150 kW stalls, which is also confirmed by the shape of the precast pedestal bases (oval).

One of my own pics from this morning. I see 10 precast pedestal bases and 5 cabinets. I assume the 5 square precast bases are for the cabinets. Sorry, I don't have a clear picture of the labels on the cabinet covers.



Ever since the digging began, I have had Carole King stuck in my head.

I feel the Earth, move, under my feet....

Construction is moving along

Stopped by the I10 site today and they are going at it. How could we put the bug in Teslas' ear and tell them the empty location for lease right next to the SC site would be perfect for a lounge, coffee, Tesla store, etc just like the big boys in Cali. They could even move the Gallery from La Cantera to here. This would probably help prevent the SCs' being iced during heavier shopping periods.

It would be nice but they only do that for their very large high traffic supercharging stations. And with this only having 10 stalls I doubt Tesla would do something like that here.

Haven’t been to San Antonio in over 30 years!
This SC opening will clearly call for a road trip!
Looking forward to it.

Drove by Friday and yesterday. Still in progress. Nothing major showing as yet. On Friday they had a long trench excavated. They were very busy yesterday.

It's almost surreal this is finally happening. My wife may be headed down there around Labor day weekend. I doubt it will be ready by then, but her next trip could be late October and that seems doable. Up until now she has alternated between her gas car and the Tesla (charging at San Marcus). The latter is OK, BUT she often ends up away from charging spots while down there and that limits car use while there - this charger would go a long way toward eliminating any concerns in that area. Of course so would the fabled Boerne location where her sister actually lives!!!

I'm there Sunday. Fingers crossed

With this so far on the West side of the city doesn’t it put Boerne off for the foreseeable future? Those would be closer spacing than current SC spacing given the local population density

Yes, IMHO. I think Boerne was a willing site owner, but the timing did not work out. Not that there will not someday be a Supercharger in Boerne, but it won't be any time soon. There are quite a few sites on the map still, even though Tesla located the SC at another location/town. They don't get removed from the map very diligently.

Progress.

 

[BerTX]

I haven't noticed any pedestals on site, so expect progress to slow markedly when they get to that point. They are moving quickly, though.
