Supercharger - San Diego, CA - Carmel Mountain Road (LIVE 10 May 2022, 24 V3 stalls)

[Oil Freedom]

Yeah, I'd say it could be as much as three more months. Maybe things have gotten more streamlined on both the Tesla and utility sides, to speed things up. But, I'm not holding my breath!

On January 8th I predicted it could be another three months. Now it looks like it'll go live after April 8th, but I think before the end of April.

It’s opening very soon, I just drove by and the transformers were arriving.

 

[Oil Freedom]

Oh baby! It's getting close now!

There is another, larger transformer across the street too - also installed today.

Here are some photos I took today. The second and third photos are across the street. I suspect that one is not a transformer, because it has no cooling fins, but it's rather just a junction box.

Hmm.. when I drove by this morning, that green box across the street was gone!

I saw that! Too!

Tonight, the green box across the street is still out of sight. I wonder if it was lowered into the utility vault below sidewalk level or removed entirely from the site.

This afternoon, there was work happening at the pad across the street. There was a big green box on a flatbed truck, a crane, and giant spools of wire.

The work continues overnight with multiple service vehicles and a lane closure. According to SDG&E, there will be a planned power outage within the window of 10 PM - 6 AM to complete the work. Looks like they're running new high power conductors to support the load expected from the Superchargers. Getting closer!!!

Yeah, I was just out walking, and the traffic light is out at Carmel Mountain and Canter Heights, along with everything I could see along Canter Heights and Carriage Run Drive. I'm surprised they would plan a night outage that would affect a traffic signal. Even with the temporary stop signs, you'd think they'd want maximum visibility that comes with daylight. (They were setting up the stop signs after the power was already out, too!)

They were working at the supercharger itself (SDG&E vehicle parked there and larger white cabinet open), across the street, and further down Carmel Mountain past E. Ocean Air. There was also a group of workers around the green box at the corner by Wells Fargo. Quite an operation!

The green box transformer is in place across the street. Tesla has the Superchargers opened up for commissioning. If the power supply is good, soon it'll just be a matter of the approval to put them into service.

Talked with the construction engineers this morning and they stated that the installation is completed and now they are only waiting for the city to allow them to "turn the switch". I am hopeful!

Go baby go!

Still not open as of yesterday evening. It's always possible something has changed today, but I haven't looked.

 

[Limited]

Just went by and not energized.

 

[Oil Freedom]

Yeah, and nuthin' on the nav map either yet. Any day now!!!

 

[awolf84]

Looks like they are up and running!
