So back to what he said a couple of years ago? Any way to find if this is the same site as the approved-cancelled-reapproved one? Wouldn’t a re-do of that site make it a new application and cancel out any grandfathering that @MelaniainLA worked on?

Exactly. I think Elon is just reliving another one of his old fantasies, and somehow it becomes a ****ing headline

First, @Chuq thank you but more than one person’s lobbying effort
and regarding that meeting, 8 hours and 15 minutes. They didn’t overtly mention this project but did grandfather in the projects already approved... before saying the want to rezone the entire city for low income housing!!
You can take credit for being the TMC representative on the lobbying effort thenFirst, @Chuq thank you but more than one person’s lobbying effort
Do you know what the story is with the "50s diner" tweet? Presumably some other location?
OK, apparently, this item was not on last week's agenda, or if it was, it was a discussion on how to bring it to this week's agenda, which is scheduled for tomorrow. I downloaded the agenda, which is a whooping 688 pages long. There is no mention of Tesla by name, but there is a mention of an application for an electrical vehicle charging station on page 341. This is within an extremely lengthy section discussion how the city has placed a temporary ban on any development withing the city that could be potentially be used for housing, due to the current housing crises.
What is being discussed tomorrow, and what language is written up as an ordinance on the agenda, starting on pg 338, is to extend the ban on new development until January 21, 2022, but to allow any "Any application for a planning entitlement or permit or building permit, including plan check, filed on or before January 12, 2021." The new ordinance also allows for exceptions for this specific area (I believe. My head spins from all the legal jargan for which I have little patience). Though the Planning Commission did not meet until after this date, I believe the permit was submitted in the fall of 2020 .

Here’s a March 1 article and update from Drive Tesla Canada (how is Canada is so up to date on these California projects?!) Not sure how much new info is in this article than already posted but some might still find worth a read. I see mention above in this thread that the CUP was already mentioned as approved.
“UPDATE: The Planning Commission approved Tesla’s conditional use permit in a 5-2 vote after 3 hours of discussion and questions.”

Tesla to build world's largest V3 Supercharger station in Santa Monica
If everything goes well at Wednesday night’s Planning Commission meeting, Santa Monica could soon be home to the world’s largest V3 Tesla Supercharger station. UPDATE: The Planning Commission approved Tesla’s conditional use permit in a […]

Yes, the Planning Commission approved it awhile ago. The City Council declined it so as to have more room for low income housing. At yesterday's meeting, they were to consider an ordinance that would grandfather, and hence allow, construction in this area, and/or providing the permit was requested before January. Honestly, it is hard to really undestand without spending excessive amounts of my time to process. Everything this city does is so overly burdensome with regulations that it is impossible to figure out.
For the record though, the Supercharger was excluded from the emergency motion and construction should start soon
Again, I am confused. I thought the emergency motion was to allow construction in this area. If the supercharger was excluded, it would not be allowed. I guess I should just give up trying to understand and just be happy that they are allowing this to proceed (even if I will never ever need this location myself)

Got to charge here today. Spoke to the nice tesla rep who states they are planning for 62 V3 stalls at this location and they hope to bring the mobile charging rig back every weekend until they break ground on the permanent install. Also plans for a lounge or diner at this location depending on what the city will allow. Long charge cables on urban looking chargers actually can charge up to 120kw but states they were currently being limited to 90kw FWIW. Rig gets juiced back up down at the Tesla design center by spacex in hawthorne.

The rep implied a few months (maybe the Fall?) when construction would kick off. I think there is a permit posted in this thread somewhere if you wanted to watch that a bit closer to get an idea on the movement.
It looks like the second location(1425 santa monica) won't have a solar canopy, am I reading this wrong or what?
