    Supercharger - San Antonio, TX - West Loop 1604 N

    Still no signs of the transformer. Clearly not a prioritized location.

    Supercharger - San Antonio, TX - West Loop 1604 N

    Still no transformer, but on the bright side the landscaping should be well established before anyone uses this location.

    Supercharger - San Antonio, TX - West Loop 1604 N

    Still no transformer and some of the asphalt around the electrical vault has been removed. Looks like reworking of the road repair.

    Supercharger - San Antonio, TX - West Loop 1604 N

    The grass is looking nice, but still missing one key piece of the puzzle. Transformers seem to be a significant limiting factor.

    Supercharger - San Antonio, TX - West Loop 1604 N

    Not much change. Still no transformers. They have delivered some topsoil. All trenching has been repaved.

    Supercharger - San Antonio, TX - West Loop 1604 N

    Still need to pull the wire before than can set the transformer. The remainder of the trench needs to be repaved. I wonder if they expected this much infrastructure work when they selected the site.

    These are from last week. A couple of days before they moved the cabinets. This location has been a significant undertaking.

    Sold my 2021 plaid and picked up a 2023. I really like the new Ultimate Red. The ‘21 was the tricoat red. More solid build no squeaks or rattles. The tilt screen is nice to have. The matrix headlights are a major improvement. FSD transfer worked. Do have 2 issues though. AC not cooling...

    It wasn‘t clear what the source is. No signs of San Antonio Water and they clearly bought a new electric pump. You can see the box here and the water discharge. As you said, It was 105 degrees and intense sunlight. Very hard to see in the vault.

    Supercharger - San Antonio, TX - West Loop 1604 N

    Post bases are in, but slow progress. Looks like quite the effort for this one. The large vaults have been installed, but a water pump is currently in the casing Pumping a large amount of water out.

    It’s a massive trench. No way it‘s ready in August.

    Construction for the charging posts now underway.

    Supercharger - San Antonio, TX - West Loop 1604 N

    Definitely needed to access to this vault and clearly are adding some significant electrical infrastructure.

    Supercharger - San Antonio, TX - West Loop 1604 N

    They need access to this. Power in this area is underground.

    This looks like a trash can enclosure. That would be nice to see.

    Supercharger - San Antonio, TX - West Loop 1604 N

    Progress at the site. Trenching to main power vault has been dug with some conduit in the trench. You can see the charging poles are stored at the end. It’s not clear yet where along this long parking area the chargers will be located. This looks like just access to the grid right now.

    The permit has been issued. Hopefully construction will begin soon

    Not really Alamo Heights though. This is in Stone Oak. Alamo Heights is about 10 miles away. I see the LOL now. They should fix that.

    Supercharger - San Antonio, TX - North Loop 1604 East

    Up, running and now numbered. Nice night too. Got 220kw briefly, but battery wasn‘t completely condtioned. Nice to have a new charger

    Supercharger - San Antonio, TX - North Loop 1604 East

    Meter installed, but site not yet active. Looks like they are ready to be activated any day now. No obvious work left to be completed.

    Supercharger - San Antonio, TX - North Loop 1604 East

    The transformer has arrived. Getting close. Needs the meter and to be commissioned. One cabinet appears to have been damaged.

    Fencing is down, but still waiting on CPS transformer. No numbers yet on the charging posts.

    Supercharger - San Antonio, TX - North Loop 1604 East

    They have only ever had 15 charging posts on site. The stalls are all back in. The CPS transformer hasn’t been installed yet. It will go next to the white cabinets. The conduit for it is installed and the trench across the road to the electrical pole has been filled. Signs are up. Still a...

    Backfilled and getting ready for concrete

    At the last stage before permit is approved. Hope they are ready to move quickly forward.

    The excavated dirt had been removed. I would expect them to backfill before pouring the concrete with some “higher quality” fill. The material removed was full of large rocks and not great to use around their conduit.

    Supercharger - San Antonio, TX - North Loop 1604 East

    I don’t think it will take more than 2 months and probably less. Getting ready for concrete now.

    Supercharger - San Antonio, TX - North Loop 1604 East

    Work continues. The conduit is in and the bases are in place. Looks like it may be 15 stalls currently. The packing list also stated “15 Picked”.

    There are 4 cabinets from Tesla Engergy that are V3 cabinets. I don’t think the other container is a 5th one. There are 18 parking slots currently in the line, so I think 16 stations is most likely. Glad to see some progress.

    Active construction at the site today. Doesn’t look like they are using the prefabbed charging systems. Easy access from Hwy 1604.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    The situation is Texas is more of a reflection of the power of the automobile dealers association and their money in the legislature. Many states put in laws in place to prevent manufacturers from opening their own dealerships early on. The idea was to prevent them from finding the best...

    None of the transaction can be completed with payment is Texas. The entire transaction takes place in Fremont since Tesla is cannot be a dealer in Texas. I just took delivery of mine in Texas and had these options. If you are using Tesla financing then you just use an ACH transfer for any down...

    Refreshed MS LR/Plaid Firmware status

    I’m on the same software and delivered the same week. On Teslafi, it appears only MS Plaid are running this version. Would certainly like to have some of the new features and get rid of the park assist unavailable bug, but Tesla just says “you’ll be updated when your VIN comes up.”

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    I thought about it. The problem is in Texas you have fully paid for the car first. The transaction has to take place in California since manufacturers cannot sell directly to customers in Texas. Tesla works around the rules, but they cannot accept any payment locally. You can reject it, but...

    I‘m hopeful there is nothing mechanical, but you never know. I’m worried we are in the production phase that Elon discussed in his interview with Joe Rogan where he said you either want one of the first cars that are basically hand built or after they reach full production and have all the...

    There was another one at the storage lot that day that had a form note with the date handwritten which stated “Gaps checked 10/18/21 and within specification. Do not adjust” Those panels looked good. Wish they had checked mine. It’s only the most expensive configuration they sell.

    That‘s frustrating. They are ordering the parts pre painted as well for mine. Maybe you’ll have fewer issues on delivery coming in a little later.

    Even more frustrating is that 5 days prior to delivery, it was on the lot. I took pictures and went to the service center. I didn’t want to deal with it after delivery. I spoke with the service manager. He didn’t even want to hear about any issues. He stated the car was just off the...

    Several issues to address. The transport guys need training. Not sure why the car does not default to max ride height for transport. They‘ve ordered a new front bumper cover and under carriage cover. Driver’s door needs adjusting. Most annoying is a loud squeak in the passenger C pillar.

    I ordered May 2021. Got a EDD in August with a 4 week range mid Oct to Mid Nov. The range updated several times usually moving the earliest date back and narrowing the range until it was 1 week with a VIN about 2 weeks prior to delivery. Hope yours comes through soon. Mine was manufactured...

    New to the forum. Been monitoring while waiting to take delivery. This beauty just arrived and took delivery last night.
