Was just there - wish I'd stopped and checked it out.
Really looking forward to this one!
Per documents originally posted by SMAlset:
Looks to be the portion of the garage fronting East Main.
Now only if they would upgrade Atascadero...

Thumbs up on that... even though they are building sites around it, Atascadero and Buellton are both early sites that are showing their age. I'm not sure if I would add stations to them if I could or if I would just upgrade to V3 if it were my decision, but definitely long in the tooth. Tesla's approach seems to be to add additional V3 (e.g. Madonna Inn) vs retrofitting / replacing the old V2 cabinets, at least so far.Now only if they would upgrade Atascadero...

Swung by today. Fenced off and construction was underway. Spoke to one of the guys who said it could be a few months. Some boxed up equipment marked “Tesla Energy” were present. Good to see it moving forward!

Wow! Don’t think I’ve seen such a run of overhead pipes like that in other garage layouts. And wow to 20 v3s. makes you laugh when you see Electrify America etc add these 2-3 charger stalls for what will ultimately be a large non-Tesla EV driving public. We’ve seen Plugshare reports of those locations being down or very slow and not much choice for those drivers, either wait in line or try elsewhere. If the press thinks the holiday back up wait time at Tesla SC locations has been bad, wait for those lines during the travel holidays. Maybe these companies are waiting for Tesla to open up their SCs to non-Teslas here in the US.
There’s so much to do in the Santa Maria Valley area and north and south of it, it will be nice to have a mid-point charging station so you don’t have to drive 1/2 hr/45 minutes to charge when you don’t want to be north or south of there. Also will help those who travel to Vandenberg for any launches from there. Glad to see work started. Thanksgiving/Christmas timeframe??

Looks like it's almost ready! Photo from 10/14/21. Fence removed, some equipment still covered up, and a black band still attached to each charger. 16 on this side and 4 on the other (not pictured).
Threw in a photo of one of the J1772 chargers as well.

Attention Model X owners: don’t open your FWs while charging here. If the roof sensor is positioned away from those conduits it might not detect them.
Heck, it looks like tall people may have to duck to clear those conduits.

Sheesh, would have been nice if it opened the same day as San Luis Obispo did so I could have tagged them both in one trip. Gonna have to do a whole LA trip again after Thanksgiving to catch all the new Superchargers that have opened recently. It's getting hard to keep up.
