I'll be back over there in a couple of hours, let me know if anybody wants specific pics or other info.

I'm still confused as to where the stalls will be located. I can see six near the edge of the lot near the road, but where are the others -- is that what is going on the island? I can't see pedestal mounts there, but there are some conduits there. Is that where the transformer will go? I don't get where the other 4 stalls are located.I'll be back over there in a couple of hours, let me know if anybody wants specific pics or other info.
You also wouldn't want that unless you want the 10 stalls to be full quite often. The lounge at Kettleman City definitely attracts more Tesla drivers than the other nearby superchargers.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.
I'm slightly disappointed that it's further from San Antonio Raceway than the San Marcos SC is, but either way it's not a trip I'd be making often.
I was unaware they had ever closed.Is SA Raceway back in business again? Would like to go out there with my Model 3 Performance sometime.
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.
We already know what the delay is. See up thread. Tesla doesn't currently have any of the pedestals (the things that are installed at each stall with the charging cable and plug, etc) which still need to be installed. So, until their supply of them is re-established, no progress is going to be made.
Lucky. You guys are getting pedestals while we in Canada continue to suffer!Lunchtime today. Charger cabinets are in place. No pedestals and no transformer. Maybe pedestals are in the crates?
It looks to me like there are 7 charging spots that back up to the street (south side of the site) and the other 3 are perpendicular to the street, east side of the site, just north of the charging cabinets. Should be able to see two of the pedestal bases in my 3rd pic below.
First pic - 5 charging cabinets installed
Second pic - 7 charging spots backing up to the road, crates with pedestals?
Third pic - charging spots to the north/left of the charging cabinets, more crates

Pedestals have been in those “do not stack over two high” boxes before.

Man that’s moving FAST!
Surprising given that Tesla doesn't care about San Antonio, or Texas in general. I'm told.Man that’s moving FAST!

Yeah, they appear to be really moving on this one. Probably a confluence of things, such as gear supply coming online at the right time, pent up readiness (and desire by Tesla) that was being held back by [years of] permit and siting woes, and some other scheduling luck breaking way here.
