The only authoritative information we have is from the City of San Antonio Development Services Dept. The permit has been approved. The next step, and it's a big one since it's never happened before in SA, is for someone to report actual construction activity at the site.
I'm not sure I understand which site you're talking about. Can you be explicit or more descriptive about where this info came from? It sounds like your info was just the 3 locations which have at some point been marked on Supercharge.info's map. But they aren't an official Tesla site, just an independent one that uses crowd sourced info to try and confirm exact locations of future supercharger sites--something that, so far as I know, Tesla doesn't disclose. On occasion, though very rarely for such a resource, supercharge.info ends up getting bad or outdated information that stays on the system for a while. That is what happened with the 4331 Thousand Oaks Dr. location. But if your information isn't from that site and is actually from Tesla directly, I would be very interested to hear exactly how to see it.

That also includes a GPS tag for the location of the work area, so now we can see where in the complex the chargers will go. It's probably not quite exact, but they'll be in this area: 29.5492195, -98.5808775

Near those coordinates, the only location that makes any sense is behind the building where The Gap is located. Any other location has trees.
That seems like an odd location in the parking lot, but we'll see. Couldn't get more cramped, and no room for expansion. I don't recall ever seeing any cars parked there, so maybe ICEing will be rare.
Starbuck's likely the most available potty place, open 6:30 to 9 weekdays, 10:30 weekends.

It is possible it will be there, but that area gets truck/delivery traffic. It is also often blocked by dumpsters and construction materials. All that could be moved, of course.
You left out 72. This could be an Urban Charger site. Since it would be along the I-10 route, probably not. But it is in an urban area.
The issue with the trees isn't just any tree. It's trees of a certain size and possibly type. Also, the back-end hardware doesn't have to be right next to the stalls. A little ways away is acceptable, so don't get too caught up in exactly where the trees are in relation to stalls. Maybe nearby trees just means that they have to trench in longer, roundabout ways to get the conduit laid in. Etc.
In the immediate vicinity of the GPS tag, I can see 2 potential locations for the stalls. For 10 stalls they'd either be split into the 2 red sections or all within the green section. Only having access to overhead satellite shots, I won't make any guesses about which trees might be enough of an issue to prevent one or the other from being acceptable.

StreetView has 4 very good locations where you can get up close and personal with those trees. The option behind the building (green) matches the comments from the inspection: No trees but there was some canopy.
Or the chargers could be over to the left, but then the car selling Ross Dress for Less out of its trunk might have to move 
Cool! Hopefully it will be done by this Saturday when I’m visiting SA

I'm betting not only will it be up and running by then but that it'll be V3 as well
Don't be ridiculous, that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
Every rumor I've heard is that they're going to run a 10 mile long CHAdeMO connector cable from the Thousand oaks EV station as a stopgap until the chargers open. If you can live with the very slight drop in kW power and have the adapter it'll be perfect.
Just keep driving around the site until you find the connector, presumably it'll be lying on the ground somewhere, or something.
