Still no updates here this week - seems like we’re waiting on a transformer install.

No change. Obviously still no transformer but usually when construct is done (even if no transformer) the site is cleaned up and fences removed. This hasn’t happened.
I’ve still been checking this out pretty much everyday. I’ll post an update once the transformer arrives.
Still nothing. Im out of town for a few days and not holding my breath for a quick turnaround here.
Finally some action at the site this morning. I’ll take a peek late tonight to see what was completed.
Looks the utility was out to work on connecting the site to the pole. Some new pipes and wiring present from the old exit of the trench leading up the side of the pole and another connection near the cabinets. No meter yet and fences are still up.
Both light poles are now up (Led) and the missing bollard are in place. The bollards are removable since the cabinets open in that direction and need clearance. Thought that was kinda cool. Site still doesn't look connected to the pole though. We’re now just waiting on a meter and connection so hopefully those happen simultaneously.
A little movement yesterday - more work has been done to connect the site to the pole. Trucks are there now working on the connection but no meter as of yet.
Based on the amount of high voltage cable they’re working with just to connect it, I wouldn’t be surprised if goes up one pole and strung along down to the new pole pictured earlier in this thread. When I talked to the contractors on day 1 they were surprised and unaware that the next pole down from the chargers had been replaced just before they started the work. Maybe the utility upgraded the wrong pole or the original design changed? - just a guess but it would explain the long delay since completing construction.
We’re in the final stretch - transformer is powered on and meter installed. No power to any of the stalls yet so we might not get a stealth supercharger while we wait for Tesla to commission it. I’ll keep checking in each day. Tested a few stalls with no result this evening.
