Hey, that's my joke: Elon says staring a transformer company is a license to print money

You know if he had the materials to do things, there would be solar and battery packs at every charging station and they would be off grid, or maybe on his own personally built grid
Finally!!! They are getting close to having this place online.
I went by there today and saw all sort of activities. They are cutting off traffic into the shopping center intermittently. I stopped and talked to the crew, especially the people with PG&E vests on. They are saying 6 weeks to live, so I plan on 10-12 weeks. Below are some shots of the WIP.
We celebrated this progress with pastries from Paris Baguette! Which is easy walking (2-3 minutes) distance from the SC.

Yep. I can't wait for it to go live. Sunday mornings we go to Bagel Bakery and Paris Baguette (3 minutes walking) and then swing by Starbucks (7-10 minutes walking).
A few more WIP photos. Construction activity (on a Saturday!) has moved down the street to basically the corner of Amador Valley Blvd. and San Ramon Rd. There are a bunch of PG&E and other work trucks, closure of the right turn lane from WB Amador Valley Blvd. to NB San Ramon Rd., and workers doing something under the roadway surface.
(Paris Baguette is indeed close by, although I personally prefer Tous Les Jours a couple blocks over.)

Beat me to it, I poked my head in on my way to the RV show at the fairgrounds yesterday. Didn't stop, just like last weekend coming back from the cabin I was just checking that the equipment was still bagged before whipping a U-ie (U-y?). This is the most time between first visit and opening of any Supercharger ever, probably the most visits, although I was more than daily at the one that opened across the street from my neighborhood.
We have family in this area we visit often, my brother in law and in laws, very excited for more SC’s up there. The hotels usually provide level 2 but sometimes you need SC’s while on the road. It seems there’s a lot of new stations up there now? Excellent here in Pasadena where I live in So Cal we have 7 Supercharger sites in like 13 mile radius, it’s awesome. Enjoy them.
There are a lot of Superchargers in the area. There are two others within 3 miles (one you can walk to as the SC) of this location and ten or more within 10 miles or so. The 580/680 interchange sees a lot of traffic.
The area is super busy, and both the 150kw chargers across the freeway from the outlets only work at 72kw max Good luck. Any extra chargers will help
Are you saying the ones at Target are only going up to 72kW? If so, that is new. I charged there in Spring and got 125 kW+.
I know the ones at the Outlet mall top at 72 kW because they "Urban" chargers with a 72 kW cap, like the ones at Home Depot off Hopyard.

Dublin, CA - Dublin Blvd. has V2 chargers, so you split the approximately 150kW if someone's plugged into the other post that shares a charger cabinet with you.

They are 150kw chargers, but every time I've plugged in I've only gotten 72kw. Both with my old battery and replaced battery, and even if it's empty.
Now I just pretend it's not there.
The outlets are slow, 72kw, home depot is all 72kw, and the dublin one is so busy it might as well be 72kw also.
San ramon is the closest 250kw charger, so this one I have a feeling once it opens it will be packed from day 1
I wonder if you are running in the splitting that Bruce mentioned above. That was an issue with the V2 units.
I dunno, maybe. I did show up one Sunday morning to try it though, and I tried multiple spots, this was a long time ago
and ive read enough. i dont really care. you can either believe me or not.

Drove past here today, there's not much happening where the charging posts are, but still active, underground construction going on in multiple places near the intersection of Amador Valley Blvd. and San Ramon Rd.
