yup, my point was that it is past the original completion date, but not by a lot and making good progress.
It's 1 cabinet for every 4 stalls? I'm guessing this spot is for the utility transformer?

From Friday, 3 Feb. Looks like progress, but a way to go.

And a few more things on the checklist, like camera replacement, testing, drainage check, cleanup, striping, city signoff, NVE signoff, signs, AND a sucker.... er uh... I mean a lucky participant to come get a wonderful charge while getting a burger at Wendy's
I'd hoped to take more photos, but I've got to get down to Carson City for a month project. You folks sure are doing a nice job of tracking progress on this one

Looking forward to this one opening! I might choose to grab a hotdog at Sinbad’s while I charge instead, though.And a few more things on the checklist, like camera replacement, testing, drainage check, cleanup, striping, city signoff, NVE signoff, signs, AND a sucker.... er uh...

The picture from yesterday (above) shows the area fenced off, with stalls covered and construction equipment still on site.

I am in Reno area now and its really short Superchargers..... just some at the dumpy Eldorado and a few at Atlantis.... Youd think since its a tourist city there would be at least one decent place already!!!

That hasn't been my opinion. Those two superchargers locations are ones I visit often and never have to wait. And now there will be two more this year with one of them opening up soon. Just my opinion, but I don't see the issue.

I had to wait by the Atlantis a year or so ago. A few people charging, plus two empty Teslas parked at the stalls but not plugged in. I assumed they were assholes just claiming the spots because they were close to the casino. Rude. I called Tesla and they said they couldn't do anything about it. I offered to send them pix with VINs of the offenders, but they weren't into the notion of enforcement.
Me, I thought a few bucks of idle charges might be a discouragement. Or a few hundred bucks depending on how egregious the offense. I guess I could have just plugged them in. I've read about people doing that in China when people pull that stunt, but it didn't occur to me at the time.
There's currently 6 V2 and 16 V3, and 3 more V3 locations in Sparks/Reno are under construction with what seems to be 8 + 12 + 24 additional stalls. Hopefully 3x will help?
Was there a utility transformer in the left bay of the cinder block enclosure? Left edge of your picture? That is what is holding this up. Once there’s a transformer it can be turned on.

Actually, other things holding it up. There also has to be a final signoff by NVE, so not just the delay you mention.
Saturday April 22 evening. Pedestals wrapped, fence still up, shipping container still there, but no construction equipment no site.
Could not see over block wall, but peeking through the gap in the metal gate, looks like transformer has not arrived yet.
Hopefully this site isn't waiting a year due to the transformer-shortage.
Sierra Sids is a block and a half South - casino, 24 hrs food and restrooms.
Pic is looking North East. Need a long selfie stick or drone, fence is pretty far from wall.
