Agree. The urban chargers are much smaller, and earlier pictures of the switchgear definitely show v3 cabinets.

Workers are still working hard at the site:

But is it powered? 3 days ago, long electrical cables were still sitting on the surface and gigantic spools of cables were still there.

I didn't pay attention but now, yes, green transformer is just behind the white 4 cabinets on the right-hand side of the picture. There's another white 5 cabinets on its right, and could those be batteries?
Nex to the wooden bench, there are 6 big conduits. Are they supposed to have electrical cables there too?

Thats awesome and great pictures. The green box is the Power transformer from PGE. The white boxes behind it are the cabinets each feeding 4 stalls and the white box to the right is the switchgear with protection equipment and metering for PGE. It looks like there is a slab and conduit remaining that could house a MegaPack in the future if Tesla wants to install and peak shave their supercharger site the demand charges can be quite high depending on the time of day cars charge.

There are still pipes coming up from the ground but I think that you’re right. There’s a final inspection planned for today and the electrical service connection inspection passed.
Oh no... What a rollercoaster of emotions. Does anybody who knows something have an idea of what this means as far as delaying the opening? Is there any chance this will be up and running in the next couple of weeks?
I went through yesterday and checked things out as well, no change.
Really looking forward to this one - home to Tejon Ranch is basically a 100% charge for me. Not a problem headed South when I start at home and don’t care how long it takes to complete a range charge, but a real drag when the only good option coming home is to sit at Tejon for an hour and wait for the last 10% to trickle in at 10kw.

I've been trying to find a place where I can access these inspection reports, but the Tulare website is just a mystery to me. Could you point us in the right direction?
Tesla has a new permit for a megapack install at this site. Hopefully the site will be turned on before the batteries are installed. The first permit probably failed for arc fault protection, ground fault requirements or the open conduits into high voltage switching gear. That is my supposition.
