They're actually narrower than the marked spaces which is concerning. At one end they start almost on the marks and by the time they reach the other end they are nowhere near the marks. It doesn't look correct. If a car fits it will be right and only a matter of time before someone hits a charging unit.

Tesla designs these so unless the installer messed up, they are all standard width. Don’t pay attention to any current striping. In fact, if you count stripes, there are probably more existing stripes than stalls which means they are WIDER than the existing spots. Here are the plans which show you how wide each spot is. Tesla has designed tens of thousands of these and know how wide each spot needs to be for their cars.
pg 3 is the demo page which shows the existing striping. Note that the SC stall in the left will be off the page so you need to account for 1 more existing spot. 8 spots in the demo drawing plus one more to the left equals 9. 9 existing to 8 new.
Pg 4 is the new Layout and you see the each stall is 10 ft wide by 18 ft long from center to center. Subtracting the width of the pedestal, you have at least 9ft width. Overall width of Model S including mirrors is 86”. 108-86=22. That’s about 1ft on either side.
I'll stop and measure it tonight but I've been to many superchargers and this one does not look nearly as wide as the others. It wouldn't be a big deal because cars can adjust accordingly when backing in but this one has pillars as guides so there is no room for error. I'm sure it will all work out but im just saying how it looks.
I understand there is a guideline for construction to follow but mistakes canhbe made. I'm sure once it's complete it will all work out just fine. I've never used a station that had pillars as guides so it's probably what looks funny.
I wasn't paying attention to the stripes, I was just replying to an earlier comment that suggested the units lined up with the stripes.

Willing to bet they are the same width as the pull thru stalls like Petaluma, CA. (and to suggest that engineering drawings and official plans and blueprints are just a guideline is absurd)
Picture of the first 10 chargers installed there (back to back pull thru).

Guideline, blueprint, whatever...I was just saying that mistakes are possible. I don't think mistakes happened and not the point of my post. I'm sure everything is just fine and when finished will work to perfection. All I originally wanted to know is if anyone else has actually seen the setup and also thought it looked tighter than others. It looks close to finished and everything will probably work just fine and as intended.
Just stopped by and the fence is no longer around it. I parked my car in there and it does fit...still seems tighter than others I've been in lol but oh well....it fits 
the units were not on yet but I imagine any day now 
very excited for this station!!

Waiting on utility transformer; you can see the awaiting standard brown, orange and yellow three phase 480VAC conductors (along with neutral gray) beyond Tikka's left ear.
Picture sent to me today for the Pasco SC. No transformer yet, big hole just like last post.

Still not final but moving in the right direction with the electrical permit. Looks almost complete but without seeing the placard mentioned, no idea what they are missing.

There's a couple of strips of masking tape on the front of one of the cabinets, as if the correction was taped to the front and was subsequently taken down.
Still no meter or transformer.

Guessing they won't get a meter until it passes the LNI final inspection.

Inspection requested today, but no updates so will see what Monday brings. Hopefully complete and no more corrections.

Head, meet wall...
This doesn't instill much confidence for all the other sites resound is building out (Lynnwood).
