Took these last night. It appears that the original 5 have been removed, 4 temporary ones have been erected, and maybe 8-10 have been marked for installation around the original location.

The temporary setup is really cool. I guess I don't understand why this can't be a normal installation in some remote sites. Quick, simple, functional. (assuming a better channel for the cabling)
Willie on the Tesla Austin Google group says there are 12 stalls under construction as of yesterday. Any expansion will be really helpful!

I talked to one of the construction guys and he said they are putting in 12 stations.

Supercharging at the San Marcos temporary stations back in late October. Quite glad I decided to check out these chargers in spite of my Tesla map in the car saying the station had “limited service”. Because these temporary stations were operating I didn’t need to stop at the Austin Supercharger, which honestly has one awkward location.

Plus the austin superchargers are too convenient for locals... They need an urban SC soon for austin, to allow travelers to use the full power SC.
No it’s not at all convenient for locals. It’s nowhere near the neighborhoods that most Teslas reside, and it’s not on the way from those neighborhoods to anywhere people in those neighborhoods would travel. (Highland Mall closed for a reason).

Fits in with my "awkward" comment above. Geographically, the Austin supercharger station is awkward to get to when south or northbound on I-35, and awkward to depart. I've heard rumors of another station (urban?) going in closer to The Domain, which hopefully is easier to access.
I’m charging as I write this. Staring at about a dozen contractors installing 10 new charger boxes. 3 of the non-new chargers are currently working and not blocked by the construction.

Stopped in yesterday, Friday, 16 Nov 18 and here is an update. There was about a dozen workers pulling cable, and installing supercharger stations. Looks like they want to get this job done quickly. By count there will be 12 chargers total. On the drive up their are car told us that this location was unavailable but as you can see the 4 temporary spots are working just fine.

Update please? Are the temporary chargers "limited service" or "full service" now?
I am depending upon them for my trip west tomorrow Saturday, 1Dec18.

@JohnD - I stopped by there on Thanksgiving day and the four temporary chargers were still working. The did seem to charge at a slower rate -- added about 50 miles in 25 minutes, but it was at the top end of my charge range (from 71% - 89%).
I was surprised that there was not anyone else there when I went through around 4pm on Thanksgiving Day. I did see one other Tesla heading in when I was leaving.
It looked like all of the work on the 12 new ones was complete, but they were still blocked off as you can see in the picture I attached. You can also see where the four temporary chargers -- with my Model 3 charging.

Sir,
They seem to be full service as I have noticed no difference in these temporary chargers and those more permanent versions that I have used elsewhere.

The workers here yesterday said that the Superchargers will all be available "soon" (like next week.)
11 of the 12 superchargers are up and running!
The in car map now shows 12 stalls. No more reduced service.
@BlueShift - Might want to update the details for the site.
