It was mentioned upthread back in April that they would be adding more stalls here. So maybe it’s that.
Only thing I can find since the mega pack was installed and finaled in May is for a 17000 sqft greenhouse for the hotel and running gas and electrical lines to it. Maybe this is the power they have been borrowing from Tesla and once these lines are run the existing power will be given back to tesla to turn on the remaining sites. Issued 8/2 so fits with the fence going up.
Off topic here but there have been Rivian sites that were open to non-Rivians for a period of time but I think those were an exception rather than the rule. Example: Coos Bay, OR
Look like it was maybe open for 2 months to non rivian owners and even then there wasn’t a successful Tesla charge mentioned on PlugShare.
All the stalls being bagged like a new not completed site makes it look like an expansion.See post #47 from this thread...those look to be the stalls at the top of some of the aerial photos:
It's amusing that the Reddit poster thought these were new...I guess they don't follow supercharge.info or TMC.

Confirmed in app. 12 cabinets x 387kva (kw) ea is more than 4.5mw. 2.7 is 60% of max power. In real life, doubt they will ever read max output but 2.7mw is not really full power. The transformers installed provide over 4800kva so not sure why they are quoting less than that as full power.Welp, just ran into Tesla energy guys and the site is fully operational!! They got the ok from PG&E yesterday to fully power the site. They needed 2.7 million watts or 2.7 megawatts️
In theory yes but then it needs to recharge at some point. it has a ~3mw capacity so that is less than 2 hours if it needs to output the full 1.8MW shortcoming. I doubt there is a time when it would need full power for 2 hours but why have 4800kva of transformers when you are only running 2700kva through them? It sounds like they are only using the larger transformer for Tesla and the smaller one is for the hotel/greenhouse project or whatever else is going on. Still a very odd buildout.
