    Supercharger - Mariposa, CA (LIVE 12 May 2023, 12 V3 stalls)

    Stopped by today, January 10, 2023, don’t see a transformer around, usually they’re quite close by to the charging cabinets. The station is complete, including giant solar canopy and well fitted white hoods on all the superchargers.

    Supercharger - West Hollywood, CA (LIVE 2 Sep 2022, 8 V3 stalls)

    Looking at the LA metro area this is the only charger west of I-405 and not of I-10! Compared to the region west of I-405 need to increase by 10-20x to match then increase another 20x and spread them out.

    J1772 Adapter Melted

    I’ve been using this charger for over 4 years, it’s used by a dozen tenants Who drive EV‘s, it’s occupied 2–4x/day and in the last month has melted 2-of my J1772 adapters. My 2020 M3 car’s plug looks immaculate, the charger plug looks clean. Implication is a fault TJ 1772 adapter, but two times...

    Now that the Santa Monica Supercharger (east-side Santa Monica Blvd. at 15th) is up and running, this supercharger site is next to be built, by the same team. They were waiting for construction the signage/billboard to be completed. Expect construction to begin within a week.

    Blog Musk Teases 50’s-Themed Santa Monica Supercharger Station

    No diner, 😞. The other half of the supercharger installation will have bathrooms and maybe some vending machines. We’ll have to wait until mid-summer 2022, the second half of the installation will take considerably longer because of building retrofit, solar panels, and battery packs.

    Supercharger - Santa Monica, CA (LIVE 18 Feb 2022, 62 V3 stalls)

    On my way by yesterday, a couple guys were hammering sheets of plywood. I was hoping they were craft a temporary tasting bar for Teslaquila ‍♂️ . On my way back, it looked like they had boarded up the windows on the back building.

    Supercharger - Malibu, CA - Whole Foods and the Park (LIVE Jun 2019, 5 Urban stalls)

    Redundancy along heavily traveled routes are paramount to wide scale adoption of Teslas. We take for granted clusters of gas stations along highways and at urban intersections. Requiring drivers to detour even as much as 10-min off route turns people , who may adopt an EV, off and needs to be...

    Supercharger - Malibu, CA - Whole Foods and the Park (LIVE Jun 2019, 5 Urban stalls)

    I tweeted about this SC just after midnight yesterday @rrosenbl & charged there today on the way home. I'm concerned that with only 5-stalls and dense Tesla penetration in this area, the charger will soon be oversubscribed. Just feet from the soon to open Blue Bottle Coffee (~July 4th) The...

    Supercharger - Watsonville, CA (LIVE 24 Jul 2019, 14 Urban stalls)

    The transformer is typically away from the Tesla cabinets/enclosure. Needs to be accessible by the utility. Transformer can be 50, 100 or more feet away, mounted on a 8 ft.² concrete pad.

    Supercharger - Santa Monica, CA - Santa Monica Place (LIVE 19 Feb 2019, 14 urban stalls)

    Unless Tesla has a plan to somehow block supercharger stalls to be used for dealer cars/test drives. And they don’t want owners to become accustomed to using/filling the stalls.

    Supercharger - Maroochydore, Qld

    Thanks for the video, I'll be reporting on this SC location on today's recording to the Talking Tesla Podcast and your vid gave me a better sense of the site. The full supercharger, with 8-cars waiting, that you referred to was in Culver City, CA near LA international airport. The Kettlemen City...

    Téo Taxi Supercharger - Dorval, QC - P.-E. Trudeau Airport (not public)

    More superchargers overall = healthier supercharger network. Around Los Angeles International Airport if there were a couple large private supercharger installations (For the limo/taxi services), the public superchargers would be greatly unburdened. Unless such SC network expansion is made...

    How many “private” SCs are there? (where besides Quebec airport & Stockholm?) I’ll discuss on Talking Tesla and shout out to those who follow the supercharger report: don’t plan to use these superchargers. And I agree they should be designated as no-go sites (black dot?) or be listed...

    Supercharger - Milpitas, CA (LIVE 15 Nov 2018, 16 stalls)

    The contractor/installer is on site today, finishing off the fourth level two plugs, he’s unsure as to when the project will be completed. Certainly would’ve been nice to have this thing open while the Tesla Owners Club 2018 Leadership Summit was in session.
