Wow. Who will want to go to Harris Ranch and smell the Coalinga cows or go to Buttonwillow and choose between Dennys or Starbucks when you can charge at Kettleman City in the shade and admire that sign!
Looking at the layout, I am optimistic that I will be able to charge there without unhitching my 17 ft camper trailer.
Actually, that huge sign was basically free. If you look at the old photos the sign post and frame were left over from the previous occupant. All Tesla did was paint the post/frame and pay for new plexiglass with the Tesla logo. A bargain!

Yeah, wow, someone had their thinking cap on. Most redevelopers would have razed the site and had new everything. Tesla instead slaps some paint on some piece of garbage, and voila! Cool looking signage.
Permitting for signage that tall is usually a pain in the rear. Having that existing sign available to refurbish is a huge asset for the site. It is probably visible from the northbound lanes of the highway.
Amazing to see how dusty the PV panels are already (covered in dust within in days, significantly affecting energy production), maybe once construction is complete panels will stay clean longer.
I'm continually amazed by how much dirt DOES NOT affect the performance of Solar PV. I live in hot, dry and dusty SE NM. I've seen my panels so dusty I can barely make out the cells but output is only affect by <15%. The only issue I have is that since some of my panels are only at a 10 degree angle the dust collects to a decent thickness on the edge on the rare occasion it rains. Half my panels are ~15 degrees and I haven't cleaned those in >3 years. There's a 'peak dirt' level. At some point they really can't get any dustier
Just need to be >10 degree angle so mud can't cake to them....

He certainly can spend money. However he can also be thrifty. I think he bought the Fremont factory for about $8/sq ft. That’s a pretty nice bargain for Bay Area real estate, albeit probably not many competing offers!
