Supercharger - Rancho Cucamonga, CA - Foothill Blvd. (LIVE 22 Sep 2021, 8 V3 stalls)

[IronQQQ]

Back-in pedestals can be installed either between the cars perpendicular to the curb, or parallel to and behind the curb. The latter was probably not chosen because of the mature landscaping behind the curb.

Not sure why they didn't choose back in with pedestals perpendicular to the curb, between the stalls. This would be like the setup at Irvine Culver (See attached)

The Cucamonga Foothill setup reminds me of Hawthorne SpaceX (V3 expansion) and Buena Park SC setup with the pedestal, perpendicular to the curb in pull in config. The advantage I can see is being able to park perpendicular to the pedestal in the aisle and still be able to charge without unhitching a trailer which I've done this at Buena Park SC (see attached)

Went by today but unfortunately Combine was closed. Did a back in test. It's much easier to park backing in, but gotta a bit more careful pulling out to not clip the pole and pedestal by turning out too early.

I also had some construction work completed on my house and while checking my permit, I also figured out the supercharger. The address is indeed 12750 Foothill Blvd. No final inspection scheduled yet.

It would be even easier to back in if the stalls were positioned to support charging that way. I guess one benefit to having the stalls out front making the spaces more difficult to park in is that it discourages ICEing. Not sure if that's worth it in this location. Some have found the similar setup at the original Manteca chargers challenging to negotiate.

Went by today.... no change, but this a sneak peak of the future with Tesla opening up the charging network.

The transformer pit was open for last two weeks, but now is covered by a wooden spool, which is a good to prevent accidental falls. I took a peak inside. fish lines are run through the conduit, waiting the final wiring.

Has anyone checked out this site recently I believe the Transformer was recently installed so we should be close to opening.

 

[JWM3]

The transformer has installed, the the stations are not turned on.

Final inspection scheduled for today Wed 9/22.

I wonder once this place opens, will that give opportunity to close the one by Victoria Garden for an upgrade or expansion?

 

[IronQQQ]

Final inspection is passed. Looks like permit is now all closed out. It's all waiting SCE and Tesla now.

Took one for the team. Didn't really need charging since I live less than a mile away. It's active and charging great!

I stopped by too. It's definitely working now. Free charging. I put in 20 kWh and doesn't register on the cars screen. The current session $1.11 was for charging at Buena Park. When I unplugged this Rancho location didn't show.

I noted that too. I confirmed by checking my Tesla account and it showed no record of the session.

Fairly common for brand new Supercharger sites. Don’t count in it lasting though!

Tried twice to park Model X into the stalls in the middle and failed. I guess these are only for Model 3/Y.

Shows up in the car nav now.

Interestingly Fontana SuC doesn't show up on the list. I suppose Tesla is trying to funnel ppl to Cucamonga Foothill this afternoon.

The charger at VG is back up to 12 stalls now too. Actually went back to 12 stalls a day ago.. wonder if this has to do with the new Foothill charger opening.

Fontana isn't showing up because you filtered out slow chargers.

what are you talking about?

 

[JWM3]

what are you talking about?

These are pull in stalls. The 3 stalls in the middle are very tight to turn in without scratching the car. I tried with Model X twice and gave up.

Even from the outside lane?
