Supercharger - Vacaville, CA (expanded in 2017, 16 V2 stalls)

[Kraken]

Stopped by today. No progress.

Not sure when you stopped by, but I just got back in town and as of 630 am there is progress. The transformer has been built by pg and e.... Now it just needs a final inspection (which might have already happened) and a switch flip.... The only visible progress, other than cars actually being plugged in, that we will be able to actually see from here on out is tesla uncovering them.

Ahh... thanks for the update. To my newbie eyes, didn't look like much changed. Glad to have some SC experts here =)

That's only because it was installed after you visited, but before early AM today.

There really aren't many clues left here for progress, visually at least, so the transformer was the one thing I was waiting for.

This is awesome news. This looks like its one of three superchargers that may be operational by the end of the week. Also included are Santee, SC and JFK Airport, New York.

So many to keep up with. Exciting and I don't even own a Model S.

Highland Park, Il is also likely!

Detroit Lake, OR appeared to be complete several weeks ago.

No.


But, to put it in perspective (and not necessarily specific to this site), what can delay the site after everything seems to be complete includes, but not limited to: GFI testing, pre-final permit approvals (i.e. planning, fire, etc.), permit final, comissioning / certification, utility primary and/or secondary conductor work, meter / CTS by utility, transformer output adjustment, and a multitude of other items that are tied into these items or other items altogether separate, but schedule impacting, nonetheless.

Awesome. I tried to get some details out of the about the Santee, SC location because the contractors said they should be wrapping up in the next few days but Tesla wouldn't divulge. I guess I'll have to keep trying.

10 am on a work day?! Why?! I live a mile from it, work five miles from it, but their timing might screw me out of it. We will see if I can pull some strings.

I've never understood that. They could have a much better showing if they did it after work. I need to get a new job so I can skip out at 10AM!

Awesome to see it opening! Great job Tesla.

Just in time for my trip up to Sacramento on Saturday: merry Christmas to you too, Tesla Motors!

With only two appointments that were not moveable this month, I thought, ha ha, that there was a 99.9% chance that I could make their Grand Opening. Guess What? Smack in the middle of what can't be changed. Couldn't get there until 1130, and I would wonder that very many would be hanging around by then. Live 55 miles away and don't need to charge, would suggest lunch, but Tesla has their party truck at these things, so that would be redundant. Oh well.

Somebody make sure that the GAP manager and the paparazzi get test rides!
