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'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.
Is SA Raceway back in business again? Would like to go out there with my Model 3 Performance sometime.

There's apparently a shortage... there's a Super Charger in WA also waiting on pedestals...
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

Ref. Third pic: Those two pedestal bases are awfully close to each other. My guess is that they used the distance between pedestals not taking into account that there is a curb there.
Pedestals have been in those “do not stack over two high” boxes before.
After you left yesterday they started to put in the transformer, filled in more dirt around the pedestals and started to lay sod. Then around 3pm they started to break apart the foundation for the transformer but I had to leave before I found out what reason was for that.

Surprising given that Tesla doesn't care about San Antonio, or Texas in general. I'm told.
:^)
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.

We've been waiting on site selection and permits etc. for a long time, but once things started moving, they really started moving. Sometimes Supercharger construction is like the Hemingway quote about going bankrupt - gradually, then suddenly.
Come to think of it, the San Antonio Service Center was kind of the same way.
