Supercharger - Tustin, CA - Franklin Ave. (LIVE 26 May 2023, 36 V3 stalls)

[Falcon73]

It's definitely time to update the title to construction. I'm here right now and here's the pictures I've taken. Pedestals are clearly evident along with Tesla cabinets. What isn't clear to me is if the work being done next to the street is related or not.

Here are some more pictures I took earlier today. I hope I didn't duplicate any, but there's so much to see here. It's exciting.

Looks like this is the layout.

 

[Falcon73]

Yes and it looks like about that's enough space for 36 parking spots/stalls. The work that I don't know whether is related is at the bottom, close to the point of the squared off area and the public street on the other side of the driveway.

Edit: I updated the picture to show the area.

I just saw my dermatologist again today and you know what that means... updates. They're making good progress here and they already have some stalls in the ground. However it's still not clear what's going on near the street and whether it's related or not right now I'm guessing not.

Could be bringing underground power from the street to the site.

Yup, front sites are for the SCE feed, which is gonna be quite chonk. Ya'll pretty close on guessing the number of stalls.

 

[Ed Trotter]

This is as of this morning, March 24, 2023. About half the stalls are peeking out of the ground. I'm sure there's at least a month of work to go. But this one will be a biggie. One photo.

All the rain this week caused delays. The first bank of SC posts were installed last weekend, and other than pouring the the two small SC cab pads and delivery of what I think are cabs for SB, not a lot happened this week. Next week might be slow too unless concrete scheduled for the weekend again and get the main SC and SB pad in before the rain Tuesday.

SCE will show up at point. Would not be shocked if they end up being the limiting factor.

Anybody drop by recently?

 

[Ed Trotter]

I did a week ago and while they are definitely working, not a lot to show yet. A month away at least, I'd say.

 

[Falcon73]

I just had another appointment here today so here are the latest pictures.

 

[Mrbrock]

A drone shot here would be great to see the full layout.

 

[Quentin_Thyme]

The SC posts were getting wired earlier this week and some underground stuff at the street, so nothing visually different this week. Other than backfilling, paving, lining, signage, and etc, the actual station part is mostly finished. Well, except for the primary feed, lol.

Still waiting on SCE. They have yet to install any of their equipment yet. Only scheduled outage I'm seeing for the area now is 24th, but its a few blocks away and I've not gotten any notice for it, so likely unrelated. There was one closer for scheduled for I think the 16-17th, which I did get notice on, but that one appears to have been canceled.

 

[Falcon73]

I stopped by today in the most exciting development appears to be what's likely to be the pad for the transformer which is not something I'd seen before here.

 

[newjacka]

with all the new superchargers that were installed last year, did they meet the demand? Or is it still full?

 

[Falcon73]

Looks like this site is getting pretty close to being done but we were just thinking for all the stalls they have here there sure aren't very many amenities. There's a Korean restaurant that's walkable but what about restrooms and things? Also this site's so huge I don't know if it's going to get filled but magic docks might have been a good plan.

 

[gaswalla]

can't have enough stalls in the OC... this is not magic dock territory

 

[Mrbrock]

Seems like this is a site for apartment dwellers. Charge on your way to or from work. Not necessarily a travel site so amenities are as necessary.
