I was driving a coworker home and we just passed it by Hayward, stopped in the curve, with techs out looking all over. The lights and arms at Block line were down, snarling traffic in all directions.
What do people think the weekend testing means with respect to possible opening dates?
To me it seems like they haven't given up on a December start but it'll be tight; as in the previous updates, there is no slack time for things to go wrong, but it is feasible if everything goes right.
As December gets closer there are also fewer chances for things to go wrong.

It means we're going to have to get used to seeing it on the weekends... and at 5 AM in the morning .... or 11 PM at night.... because that's what it's going to take to get this going for December
I think now that the first vehicle is ready with the FIE, they now have what they need to do the OT to get things wrapped up.
A (large!) crew of orange vests was working feverishly at the car dealership on Courtland (Shelley?), at the location of the MIA gates and yet-activated stoplights. I guess the expropriation settlement finally happened.

Yep. And they want the signals up and operational before Monday's testing.

That was my thought process too. They haven't given up yet.
