Went by yesterday. Not much change but all the steel bases seem to have been secured.

Maaz, if you get a chance, next time you swing by to take pics try to find where the cabinets are being installed and take a pic or two of that area as well. It should be at the other end of the conduit that they are currently working on. Usually, it is just outside the parking structure, though sometimes it is in an electrical room where it won't be visible.
yeah they’re still in the area in previous pictures posted behind the green fence. Haven’t moved since they were brought there. I’ll capture updated pics of that area next time for sure.
Wow, that's a lot of steel conduit. The 20 conduits go the the charger pedestals (DC), and the smaller set of 8 or so conduits must be coming from the power supply side, probably after the switchgear (AC). The supercharger cabinets will have to end up going somewhere in the middle, connecting to both sets of conduit. This looks like it must be some distance from where they are currently staged.
Stopped by today to see the SC progress. I took some pics because I’ve never seen the ‘guts’ of the superchargers!

Thanks. The area I'm mostly interested in, and was trying to ask about in my previous post, is the part that's outside the structure where the conduit comes in next to the fenced off area. I'm curious if there's any ground work going on out there. My impression is that the fencing around the area with the cabinets is just a staging area to store materials and that the back-end hardware will actually be installed outside the garage once the prep work is done.

My office is right next to work next to Del Amo Mall Torrance, and I noticed they are working on building Tesla Supercharger stations by Nordstrom Parking Structure. Here are the photos. Looks like it is going to have around 20 stations.
It's not that common, but it's one of the layouts that Tesla uses on occasion to fit into the existing parking flow. Here's a pic from @jvanyc of the signage showing how to get into the stalls from the Santa Monica Place supercharger thread:
Occasional visitor so basic question. Is this located in parking structure level directly across from Nordstrom or on another level?
Yes exactly. It’s on the “underground” level of that “new” parking structure next to Nordstrom.
No new work has been done but here is pictures from the other side where the cabinets are.
This one is a bit of an agonizing wait. It’s soooooo needed in the area? Anyone know (or have a guess) as to when this supercharger will come online?
In early Oct one of the workers on site told me about a month. So maybe mid Nov? The conduit still isn’t connected though...
