SPOTTED: A Daily Photo Thread From the Hawthorne Supercharger Station

I managed to get this funny photo of the Design Center employee parking:

Looks like the Tesla employees who can't afford an S still want to own an EV or a PHEV. Good for them!

I wonder if Tesla offers a employees a discount/rebate on BEVs and PHEVs, regardless of manufacturer?

Don't believe so. I'm pretty sure they don't get any discount on the Model S right now.

I'm pretty sure I see charging stations at the front of those places - and I'm betting Tesla does offer free charging to employees. It's good to see, but likely not a representative sample.

That's what I've heard too. As far as the Model S, NOBODY gets a discount on the MSRP.

Would love to see more Dashboard pictures with the top 10 Superchargers...whenever it's easy for the locals...

I just walked over to the Design Studio, and per everyone's requests, here's a shot of the Dashboard:

I just noticed that there have already been delivered more than 22 GWh !!!

It would be interesting to get this shot periodically - maybe every week or two? - to see how much the network is being used right now.

Maybe this is one of Elon's secret demand levers.

I've heard rumors of an employee lease program, however. Not sure how deep a discount, and I've not been able to confirm this-- but a few months ago an email supposedly circulated to employees that there was a lease offering specific to Tesla employees. Wonder if there is any truth to the rumor or not...

Was over at the Supercharger shooting some photos of a local customer car we had in the shop for parts install, here's a quick behind-the-scenes iPhone shot:

Please tell me those aren't the 21" BBS set. They look small in this picture.

They are, but I think it's deceptive. They look smaller in the photo than they are in person.

Every time I see a new post in this thread I get excited hoping it's a new picture of the Supercharger dashboard.

That's why I keep clicking into the thread, too.

I notice the new Amsterdam center has a dashboard now - in the Dutch thread on the opening there is a picture of the dashboard from yesterday

Nice! Hopefully that means they're getting close to making that more available. I've e-mailed a couple times asking that they put that live on their website, but no response.

Stopped by the S/C today; the Dashboard is still disconnected... They've been doing some renovation for the last couple weeks to wall and area around the Dashboard and Model X prototype, so it seems like it will be turned off until they're done.

Any chance for an new picture? The new supercharger in Amsterdam is being used excessively, both by regular drivers and the 200 taxis that drive in the area. We think Amsterdam could be in the the number 1 spot very soon....
