Probably waiting on a cover inspection.. Knowing typical AHJ's, they all took today off. Monday will probably get inspection (if the called it in early last week). So if I were to guess, cover (concrete) would happen Monday/Tuesday.

Drove by today and no change from the most recent pics. However there were a few bags of concrete that weren’t there before so at least it’s a sign that someone has been to the site in the last couple days.
This supercharger just went live. I came by around 5pm and saw the tesla tech working on activating it so I came back a couple hours later and caught what I believe is probably the first charge 
The Tesla tech said the infrastructure couldn’t handle v3 and that they were originally going to do an urban charger but switched to v2 maybe because it was faster. I probably should have asked more questions and let him talk more but I was also mindful of him working late on a Friday and wanted to let him get back to work.
The main amenity in this area is grocery shopping which doesn’t usually take 1-1.5 hours that an urban supercharger requires. And given that this is currently the only supercharger with FREE parking in the Seattle city limits and that it’s only 8 stalls, I could understand wanting to use as fast a supercharger as possible.
Lastly, I should mention that I came by at 1:30am a few nights ago and one of the entrances was gated shut but the other was open so this appears to be a supercharger with 24/7 access.
Seattle somehow tripled it’s supercharger sites in the past 3 days. What a week.

Also the site of the famous Edith Macefield house, or is it gone now?

For years I drove by that old house which was surrounded then by industrial sites, and occasionally see her and her husband tending to a garden. Then the building went up around her when she refused to sell out, but the construction site people were known to do free work for her like wiring repairs and such. Man has that neighborhood changed! The chili place is gone but the MP brewery and Jolly Roger tap room is right around the corner from the charger, second best cask conditioned ale in Seattle!
This has got to be ranked as the top craziest supercharger installaton ever!! The stalls were torn down twice!!!! :O Damn. Nuts! Well...it's ready now.This supercharger just went live. I came by around 5pm and saw the tesla tech working on activating it so I came back a couple hours later and caught what I believe is probably the first charge

I don't know if something is seriously wrong with my battery. I have a 2016 Model S-75. I went in this evening at 100 miles range so SOC was ~42%. Max I ever got was 34Kw , hovering around b/w 28 to 34KW. Isn't that way too low?
, hovering around b/w 28 to 34KW. Isn't that way too low? - I was not sharing charging with anyone (like 1A, 1B, etc)
- I talked to 4 other Tesla owners, each one of them were around 50 to 65Kw similar SOC

I have a 2019 Model 3 and I charged tonight starting at ~60% and it never got above 35 kw. I was not sharing. I thought about moving but didn’t.Did anyone else notice this slow supercharging speed? If not, looks like its my battery and I need to reach out to Tesla service
