The two cabinet pads are done, and now they're working on the switchgear / transformer pad (not sure this site is getting a transformer though). This is a really tight construction site and I imagine that slows down progress. Two large boxes have been delivered, presumably the power conversion cabinets (I didn't scrutinize the labels). Extremely tight and busy parking lot as always.

The second power conversion cabinet is in, along with the associated wire pulls, and was being serviced when I stopped by today. The transformer pad is ready with conduit, awaiting utility delivery -- well, I assume it's a transformer, could be switchgear with transformer elsewhere. Continued slow progress likely due to the cramped conditions and demanding site.
I stopped by here nearly a week ago, last friday, but forgot to post the report here. Actually I do remember drafting it, probably dictating it while driving away, but maybe I just never completed the post and hit submit -- or TMC ate it, who knows. The site is completely done except for utility transformer. I did notice that the pedestals are not flush with the ground since there's a slight slope at this site. The concrete bases were probably supposed to be poured level, not parallel to ground.
I did a drive by TODAY ( which is when I realized that I had not posted the above report from last week) and the only change is that the parking signs are up. It says Tesla only for all 8 spots, which I'm a little surprised by because this is a very busy parking lot. I guess they are doubling down on telling people they really need to park in the new deck around the corner.

Utility transformer is in. No meter yet. Stations are still bagged and have no numbers.
A crew was onsite today pulling 3-phase wire to/from the utility transformer.
Just for kicks I scanned the pic and it is $4.00 + a bull shi$ service fee of 48¢ per hour stating on the first hour. So you would have a surcharge of $4.48 to charge. Fine if you are patronizing a local business but seems like an excessive extra if all you want is to charge your car.
Utility transformer work looks complete and the meter is likely in now (it's enclosed inside a lockbox). So I think this is now about a week away from going online.
I think something above must have gotten deleted. Here the text of that tweet and the photo.

I work across the street from here and didn’t even know this was getting built. I was so surprised and glad to see superchargers this morning! I see how this would suck for interstate access although not too bad. You just have to drive a few blocks from the I-75 exit at least. For locals and people who work here this is great. I charge for free at my work parking lot but in the case they are all taken up one day now I don’t have to worry.
Yup. As I said almost a year ago when this construction started, this may be the most intensely used parking lot in the entire metro area, 12 hours a day. Every yahoo in town trying to go to the Beltline for the first time goes here thinking they can park. There's a parking deck around the corner, and that's where I expected Tesla to put this site originally because this little parking lot is so ridiculous. But at least they are keeping ICE vehicles out of the spot -- the valet guys probably run over if they see someone parking there incorrectly.
