Same here, I live in Sunnyvale and both the Sunnyvale and Cupertino supercharger show no sign of opening.

PG&E put up temporary no parking signs down the entire row of spaces covering all of this coming week, so it shouldn't be long now.

We were shopping there today and saw the signs. Two ICEd spots FWIW. So wonder if these signs mean that something didn't get installed correctly and they're going to be digging up stuff. I thought they had received approvals on everything and only had the fire department inspection and city to sign off.

Multiple large PG&E trucks there this morning. Seemed to be installing a large green metal box.

Sounds like the transformer!

Drove by this morning and saw that the green box has been installed on the pad. Didn't see any trucks and there is still tape on the charging stations. There's also a lot of trench work in the street that is adjacent to this box. I hope that the green box is for the chargers and not related to the trenching.

Wonder if that parked car in the charger area was towed. Some people just can read or simply don't care.

Still not up as of Saturday, but I see no visual evidence of any remaining work (there are two big cabinets installed on the left, plus the one on the right (shown in the photo above). Now, I guess we're just waiting for inspections?

 

[SMAlset]

Sunnyvale building permit history still showing the project as Active. Wish we could tell if the fire inspection has been ordered yet. sigh

Missed it by 2 hours. The tape was still up this morning.

false alarm apparently the station is in test mode, went there and tried two posts but both were off. Station looks to be in a great location though, Target is open until midnight and there's Starbucks inside. Looking forward when it opens.

Yikes, is that what we're officially supposed to call them now? "Supercharger Post"?

I'll post some more, post-activation, when I can use a post.

Post.

 

[TEG]

If it isn't working put a post-it note on there, and call the post office...

And this is why it is worth checking the car nav to see if it shows a new location as open or not. Usually, new Superchargers appear on the car nav very soon after they are operational.

I just checked this AM, and I get the same "Supercharger Post out of Service" message.

 

[SMAlset]

We'll be up that way this weekend and curious if it will be operational by then. Good to see it's in the test phase though.
