. On my way back, it looked like they had boarded up the windows on the back building.
Sorry, but although a permit was found for this location in Mar 2018 nothing has happened at the site since that time.
I’ve edited the thread title to clarify the status of this location.

I don’t like to be pessimistic but I seriously doubt this will happen and frankly it’s so far outside the scope of what Tesla should be maybe it’s money better spent elsewhere. I’d rather have 5 more SC locations in LA area than a restaurant with Charging stations.
Let somebody like Shake Shack develop the restaurant. Tesla can drop a dozen 72Kw chargers in the parking lot. Same end results, but let everyone focus on what they are good at.

This location is no longer on the Tesla Supercharger map on its website.

What a real shame... would have been so nice and it’s another promise unfulfilled (this one of the drive in restaurant with car hops). I know they have a lot on their plate and another SC station nearby, but that station is hard to reach and in a paid garage...
if I remember correctly there was only one grey pin for Santa Monica, which eventually became Supercharger at Santa Monica Place. This location was discovered as a separate permit...

Sadly, you are correct. Thread title changed. But I’m leaving this thread active in the California Superchargers forum just in case it is revived someday, and as a way to document a bit of Tesla history since this was not planned to be any ordinary Supercharger, but something special.

Ah yes! Twenty years from now we will see "The Life and Times of Tesla Motors, Inc." subtitled "The Complete Unabridged History of the Electrification of Automobiles and Trucks" reaching number 1 on the NY Times nonfiction bestseller list. The bibliography will cite hundreds of threads from this website, including this one!
Not only the NYT bestseller list, but also the www.MartianTimes.space website, the leading news source for the SpaceX Martian colony. Don’t laugh: that domain is available

Wow, I am way off topic now...
Joy was kind enough to notify me of a new sign that popped up at the Santa Monica Supercharger. 28 V3 stalls coming soon, maybe here?

If I remember reading about one possible reason for the 1401 Santa Monica Blvd location not to build was because of PG&E.
There was a need of a new power line and high voltage transformer all the car dealers didn't want to get shut down during that time.
I'm sure that there would have been a possibility to install some power generators as I have seen this done at some construction sites.
Installing a new power line and high voltage transformer I believe was one reason the Fremont Supercharger at Kato road
was never completed and all the stalls been moved?
So finally, getting more power seems finally a possibility in Santa Monica, at the current Santa Monica Place or the 1401 Santa Monica Blvd location?
Any news regarding the 1401 Santa Monica Blvd location, is it still only used for selling Pumpkins and Christmas trees?
A 28 V3 stalls will have 7 of those one mega Watt converters to DC, one for 4 stalls. So this gives an idea of the power required.
It would be certainly interesting knowing which location will used for this new Supercharger.
There are also new projects for Pacific Palissade, Venice beach, Marina Del Rey... Any permit discoveries for those locations?
Don't any new location needs to be 'Green' and uses some solar panels and Power walls to help the grid?

Nor could I. I assume Tesla selected a site but haven’t applied for any permits (if so, they’re being very discreet about it). Good thing about Santa Monica is the permit search is super easy to use
