Superchargers waiting for a transformer to open

[israndy]

I have been wandering around the bay area checking out new Superchargers. I noticed there are A TON of them in NorCal that are basically ready to go but still are awaiting a transformer to finish the install. Anyone know if PG&E is at war with Tesla? What could be going on?

Novato, Marin City, El Cerrito, Berkeley, Emeryville, Oakland, Dublin, San Jose (Gould & Holger), and Los Altos

Marin City

San Jose

Technically they were still working on the El Cerrito, Berkeley, and Dublin charger (above). But that is a HUGE list of SpCs sitting idle.

Didn't PG&E file for chapter 11? That usually scares away suppliers really fast. My guess is their procurement is messed up...

Oh, I visited Los Altos today, but they already have a transformer, but by the time I remembered, I could no longer edit the post above.

Don't you heard before of some "S curb" manufacturing delay...

Not sure what you are saying @Watts_Up

Novato, Marin City, El Cerrito, Berkeley, Emeryville, Oakland, Dublin, San Jose (Gould & Holger), and Los Altos

Forgot to include days in construction:
Novato 153 days, Marin City 101, Emeryville 208, and San Joses (Gould 65 & Holger 111)

Since Oakland construction was JUST discovered it's only tagged as being 3 days into construction, but it's as complete as the above stations. The Berkeley, El Cerrito, and Los Altos still have people on-site this week, but otherwise, look complete and only in need of a transformer.

It's not just Tesla. Many Electrify America stations in the Bay Area have been ready and sitting without power for months (some still are). I also noticed that in some cases where Tesla and EA stations were co-located they became operational at roughly the same time.

Just a joke, refering to EM explaining that the Model 3 manufacturing was at the begining of an "S" curb before reaching steady production numbers,

I heard a rumor a long time ago that PG&E won't order a transformer until you pass final inspection. That really screws with the time to power up a site. However, it may not be true.

I think you meant to say "S-curve".

I hear all the transformers that catch fire are backordered several months. That's the only kind PG&E aka Comcast's evil brother uses.
