I am fairly certain both La Verne and this Upland site will be energized it might take a little bit of time for Tesla to get re-organized but they are going to finish and I believe it won't be too much longer.

Thanks for acknowledging. There was a pause after the email was sent out saying they had to reorganize and payments would be delayed. But they should be through the worst of that and moving forward again.

Drove by today. They resumed the parking lot, slurry coated it today. Assuming striping on Monday. We just need transformers
Edison has installed what looks like HV junction boxes on site. Just waiting on transformers at this point. Parking lot is striped and open to traffic.

8 tons! And it took 2 months from date of manufacture to installation. What took so long?

That's about how long SCE drags their feet in all of the supercharger instillations I've seen

Maybe it was imported through Baltimore, so they had to wait for the channel to be clear again!

Blame non teslas being able to use NACS. Otherwise there would be bollards to protect the posts.

@1FrostySlime it is documented that once Tesla opened up NACS to other manufacturers that they starting removing the protective bollards from sites so vehicles like the Lightning could pull closer to V3 stalls so the cables can reach. Are you disagreeing with this?

As far as I can tell from looking through a random assortment of photos from before the NACS migration chargers like this where there is a curb between the charger and the parking not have not had bollards to protect them.
What is interesting though is every V4 stall install I looked into does have bollards regardless of the placement. Given that Tesla could have made this a V4 stall install if they wanted as this install began after V4 stalls began being deployed Tesla could have avoided this situation by doing such and installing bollards for this install but they didn't. As such the fault primarily lies with them (and the idiots who somehow manage to run into a stall in the first place) not the NACS migration.

Here's an update from last night, Nov 30th, around 7pm. Everything looks good to go, just waiting on them to flip on the power. The finished the landscaping, laid down the asphalt, painted the lines, and added the trash cans.

Supercharger - Atkins, VA
A new supercharger is coming to the parking lot of the Comfort Inn Atkins-Marion located at 5558 Lee Hwy, Atkins, VA 24311. Per the information shared in the following tweet in late August, the site was supposed to already be under construction at that time.

A simple forum search for bollards removed returned those amongst many more threads. The quoted summaries are not accurate to the posts about bollards but clicking will take you to the correct posts. You will need to scroll back to see evidence of bollards previously installed. All have curbs and previously had bollards/signs. Curbs will protect charge posts from the relatively short rear overhang of Tesla vehicles but they still put signs and bollards in.
