Here's the latest. Looks like all of the hardware is in, and the trenches have been filled. I didn't get a shot of it, but the transformers also looked complete. Open by New Years??
It's possible, but without seeing that the utility transformer is in already it's hard to really say anything about timing. Things that your pictures showed for sure that need to be finished are:
- Painting the parking lines.
- Installing Tesla parking signs.
- Installing the lamp post.
- Final electrical/building inspections.
- Tesla testing and commissioning the chargers.

Moderator note: two posts moved to For discussing the issue of locals charging at California Superchargers
72kW each stall, no sharing with your neighbors stall. That’s nice

That's great news and good location. The Tesla Supercharger map still shows it at the wrong location on Beach and Westminster Blvd.
Nice pics. They still need to install the lamp post on the concrete pedestal in that first picture (between stalls 2 & 3 from the right). And all the Tesla Parking signs need to be put up, too. But that looks like it'll be it on physical construction things. The rest will be any outstanding inspections and Tesla's commissioning.
Tesla's map doesn't update to the actual location until usually a day or two after the site is live. The grey "coming soon" pins are placed only on the default jurisdiction location assigned by google maps. In this case "Westminster, CA." So, if you were to ask google maps for driving directions from somewhere to Westminster, CA, the end point will be exactly where the grey pin has been placed. Usually this is so that the pin will appear over the middle letter of the jurisdiction name.

Nice, looking forward to this! I wonder why they opted for charging stations that don't require backing up. 
Is this how busier supercharger locations are set up?

It probably discourage ICE'ing. It's harder to claim that you didn't see the pedestal when it is right there in the front.

Hehe, you're too nice. My thought was the drivers around here are unable to reverse park safely.

Just drove by and talked to the tech working on it. They're hoping to energize this afternoon if everything goes well!

I think we saw the same one?
If you look closely the cable is still in the charger holster, he's just parked there and isn't actually charging.Looks like there are little blue stickers on the chargers, not sure what they are for, possibly indicating they are not live yet?

Charging now! Only car here! There was a S here for a little bit right as I arrived again!

You know they have a few free Volta charging stations in that mall also. Also some EVGO non-free ones on the other side.

Wow that is great news, this Westminster location couldn't have come soon enough. The Fountain Valley and Santa Ana locations were not cutting it. It'll be great to see a few more in Costa Mesa, Irvine, Tustin, Newport area.
