Transformer is in! But the pedestals are still wrapped in plastic.

Just passed by this location during lunch. Crews on the street working on the transformer. They had the doors open and you could see cables dangling still, so still some work to be done.

Super exciting! Even though Qualcomm still gets hammered pretty bad, I've noticed signification pressure has been reduced by all of the build out we're seeing in SD over the last year or so. With Del Mar coming online later this month, I think we'll be in a good place for the short term in the region as a whole. Exited to check this one out once it gets going!
Yes. We went from 12 Superchargers to 102 in San Diego in 1 year when this one opens!
Was by there last night. All chargers are still covered in plastic.
I checked the timing from transformer placement to opening for several super chargers:
La Costa: 1 week
Camino Del Sur: 2 weeks
Friars Road: 3 weeks
If 2 weeks is average, this one should be open end of next week, or not, or earlier????

I don’t think we may see it to be filled to the last charger too often in the next 6-12 months. Qualcomm is full less often. Camino Del Sur is equally full. But both have only 12 chargers. This one has 18. If everyone charges for 45 minutes, on average a charger becomes available every 2.5 minutes. Even if full, the wait should be not too long.
The issue will be when the apartments open up and a lot of them have Teslas and may not be able to charge where they live!

These days, in areas like this with lots of EVs, builders should really be wiring their residential parking structures for L2 charging in individual assigned parking spaces. Let's hope they do!
The parking structure was pretty busy today! That may be the limiting factor -- just the time/hassle it takes to get through to the top floor. Was never more than half-full during the noon hour on a Saturday. Should be horrendous once the shops are all up and running.
Getting in/out will be easier once the construction lane closes off and allows faster entry off DelMar Heights. Remember to download your Shake Shack app to order ahead for the food to be ready once you plug in 
Lots of nice shops to dwell in OnePaseo. Coffee, desserts, quick bites and even nice sit downs once they open up later this year Smokehouse and North Italia.
There's TONS of Teslas in the neighborhood here. This will be consistently filled by S and X locals getting their Salt and Straw fix.

Totally agree with this concern. I swung by to check it out. There was only 1 other car charging at the time. The garage is narrow, those corners are going to be scary going up/down and lead to very slow moving to and from the roof.
That being said - still great to get more options and the air is 'fresher' up there than on the base floor.
