They definitely missed a beat. Looking at SC.info, there has been a major slowdown of sites being turned on recently. And new permits being found. But not a complete stop, so there is hope it will pick back up.

Hmm, the fact that the bases are in would point towards them being installed now. Usually when things like that are in a permit as Phase 2, they don’t get built during Phase 1. The permit lists them as a separate S.O.W. (scope of work) so for them to be built out means that permit also has to...

Protect how? They will just be regular parking spots for now.

Very doubtful. The 800v vehicles can use MB.

Considering the fees haven’t even been paid for the permit to be reviewed, we are likely in for a bit of a wait.

Thanks for acknowledging. There was a pause after the email was sent out saying they had to reorganize and payments would be delayed. But they should be through the worst of that and moving forward again.

Look at the far top left of that photo and you will see unwrapped V4. That is where the standalone V4 stall pictured is located.

Really, IR vision? Tesla isn't using it for FSD so why would they use it on bots? That would be admitting that you need IR to see in the dark and why would a car need to see in the dark? Hmmmmmm....

I have never seen a permit for regular maintenance. Technically, any work done on an electrical system including like for like changes would require a permit. Silly but that is how the letter of the law usually is.

Because there hasn't been activity for 2 weeks? Jeez, lets give it a rest on the "every under construction site is being abandoned" hyperbole. Sites under construction are being finished. There are delays that existed before the team was let go that will continue to be a problem...

Gotcha.

Why are we jumping to conclusions that all sites that have paused with cabinets and stalls installed are being forgotten? If there is no transformer, they still have to wait for that. Whether the original team was still in place or fired, they can't get transformers any sooner. That is all up...

And restriping. That relocated stall is ADA and needs a much wider spot than what is there. At least a removal of the center line there and then the walkway to the hotel. when two spots become 1.

Might need to head over to the forum linked in the first post and reach out to the member who posted the original photo.

Not showing up in the app yet but they could be on and not communicating yet.

Those are V4. Could be someone left one on the ground and it got run over. Or the cable was pulled out trying to reach a non Tesla if the site supports that. Many reason they need to replace charge cable, not just end of life.

Seems like what is happening. Never seen a permit for it before since inspectors never check the actual equipment for proper operation. Whoever they brought in to oversee this is very cautious. Maybe worried about getting fired or something…

Will thieves be able to steal (or deface/disable) them too? Seems like adding more of a target to have them on site. Tesla just needs to use their amazing FSD Vision to identify thieves 🙄

Happening elsewhere in WA with no rhyme or reason as to the number of connectors per site. Maybe this is just regular maintenance. Lynnwood is Urban, Entiat V3. Not NACS related.

This happens with a lot of sites. They could be months out on the transformer so the striping gets put on back burner for sub contractors.

Try the app.

The above post shows it was under inspection as of March 2024 so that is before the layoffs. Also, it is unlikely that satellite image is from the last 3 weeks.

Finally up and running. 4 dual port 180kw Skycharger (EV Connect).

Those are V4 stalls so they have built in magic dock. Whether they will be enabled is a wait and see proposition. Same for being open to other makes using NACS. I am not familiar with that app but I recommend supercharge.info.

Once Tesla sorts out who will be activating these sites going forward, they will get turned on once they have completed all inspections.

Everyone who had a name on a permit for Tesla Superchargers was fired. It is unlikely they will change the contact name on the permit even if it is picked up and fees are paid. We are in a wait and see period. For those interested in updates, please try to refrain from asking if there are any...

You have the most recent contact with someone who would have information on this. There is no Tesla contact (and has never been one) to give out updates regarding not completed or not working sites. You can continue to ask the hotel or go up to the Tesla guys you saw and ask them.

Transformer is not related to the Tesla team being let go. That is on the utility. There are sites that were/are under construction at the time of the fire that continue being built so it should be no different here. The parking lot painting could be waiting on the transformer installation...

@corywright @Guacahummus @Big Earl

Give them a try. Since they don't show on the map they are likely for service testing so they might only be enabled when needed. usually every service center has this but most are behind gates not accessible to the public.

A third dig ticket for this site has been filed for extending the location of work. https://www.searchandstatus.com/orrecApp/ticketSearchAndStatusView.jsp?enc=LnFOmy3EowVlPdTFiqESxqsLmkw3w5bH8rijjiL2v1dA5RE3C0Q+ZSpb7wor9lGC

With only flags there after the layoffs it is a good sign Blackstone continued to proceed with breaking ground. Maybe the materials were already on the way and permits issued so it made sense to move forward versus having to ship everything back to buffalo. I also think any site with a signed...

I’ve never seen one for replacing cables, especially when cut. Was wondering if there was a recent local news article about cables being cut. Other (unlikely) potential is they missed the junction box swap out to enable NACS and they are just doing that now. It is a “connector” of types internally.

Back when this was posted, there was a RWD and a LR AWD. The RWD had a 78kwh software locked battery that is not the same as the LR AWD MY battery but comes from the LR AWD M3 (could be wrong) which is slightly less than the 82kwh capacity LR AWD MY. Now the RWD has been unlocked and is now a LR...

Let’s get those meters plugged in…

It’s not an Issaquah address. There was confusion as this was posted at the same time as the Issaquah Pine Lake Road permit. The thread title needs to change.

Unfortunately it is likely going to be checking Tesla.com or the tesla app for it to appear once it’s live. Or someone will post here that they charged there. Just need to read the most recent post, shouldn’t need to ask for updates if it’s in the app or online.

That’s is a different permit than the one that started this thread, just for the electrical scope and it looks like there were no reviews by the city. Weird. Unfortunately, I think Blaclstone got the stop letter before they started digging here.

Good use of the bear proof lid on that dumpster…

Could just be an oversight on the data sheet but V3 was different architecture than V2 so that would be quite the oversight. There are different ratings for NACS vs CCS2 so maybe it was the V2 handles were rated lower and they didn’t update when they switched to V3 liquid cooled.

Here’s the data sheets from some site plans. Main difference is the DC post output is rated to 631A on V3.5 vs 350A on V3. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/supercharger-issaquah-wa-gilman-blvd-under-construction-april-2024-16-v4-stalls.303824/page-2#post-8180115

Someone is overseeing things as provisioning and maintenance are different departments than building sites

Any local insights? @Big Earl ?

To keep this on task, the group that was fired got this site built including Starlink. Once it’s complete, further maintenance gets handed to a different division. The communication problem would still not be the problem of the team that was fired even if they hadn’t been fired. This is now on...

Looks the same as last weeks photos, just that the concrete has dried/cured, I don’t think any additional work has been done. There won’t be additional stalls at this time. Permit is for 8 with expansion later. The post on the left (2A) will be removed from the PSU and placed onto the conduit...

Under green tarp will be some type of connection box to where a transformer will go fed by the wires at the base of the pole.

I know this is about a month late but following up on whether this is an expansion, it looks like some things have shifted location from the posted plans. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/attachments/1705850743016-png.1010937/ It looks like the termination of many conduits are behind the...

With at least one executive of the charging team rehired, I imagine we might see a bit more movement than we had hoped for last week.

I thought the spec sheet showed capable of 800V output? But I guess that is dependent on whether or not they activate it. We just need someone with a CT to charge at a V4 (if it hasn't been done already). I would imagine if it has, someone would have posted about the 500kw output (unless they...
