They are fixing more mistakes. (I don't mean to blame the supercharger crew, though. It may be these mistakes belong to the crew that built the parking lot.)
They're moving a portion of the island, which was in the way of one charging stall (based on the conduit location), and moving a drain, which was in the way of another charging stall. SDG&E is also on site today, but it looks like they are just making preparations. There is still no transformer on site.

No sign of Pedestals, nor a transformer, yet. The picture at Supercharger - San Diego/Pacific Heights (not open yet) - Page 18 showed 6 Supercharger Cabinets on pallets, and this picture only shows 4 Supercharger Cabinets installed. I wonder how many the final install will have.

Looks like all 6 cabinets are installed -- the other 2 are perpendicular to the 4 you mention, just above them... Odd layout though...

Thanks for the great hi-res picture. Zooming in, one can see quite a few details.
With three steps forward, and perhaps 2 steps back, it is making progress.
Too bad somebody misplaced the island on the upper left.
So, it appears that there is still a fair amount to be done.
Perhaps another month, maybe the end of May if most goes well.

Except for the variance of transformer install, it looks a lot closer than that. If this were a Supercharger in Kansas in an existing parking lot, my estimate would be 1-2 weeks. Of course SDG&E does not nave a stellar record on quick transformer installs; maybe this location will be the exception...
The rest of the parking lot looks complete!
I agree, it's pretty close, assuming they don't make any more screw-ups. Unfortunately, they don't seem to be working full time on this, either, so who knows. Yesterday, they started excavating the conduit in the island, where the pedestals will go. They got three of them excavated yesterday, but it looks like no progress has been made yet this morning.

Also, I don't think the same circumstances that delayed SDG&E in SJC exist here. In SJC, they had to negotiate right-of-way for the high voltage connection, and it was quite a long connection. In this case, I believe the connection in on property and nearby.
Looks like sleeping in paid off!
I'm not sure any real work has happened regarding the electric supply to the supercharger, though, so probably unrelated.
Hmmm... I though shutting off the power supply before beginning work was electrical engineering 101
It's progressing very slowly. They're spending a lot of time digging. But maybe that's wrapping up, because the pedestal frames showed up on site today, and one of them was placed in its presumably final location, though no concrete has been poured for the base.

As long as it's open by July 7, I'm good. I want to try driving from San Francisco to Comic-Con, coming down 15 instead of 5 and this charger will make that drive easier.
