The path of traffic shouldn’t cross parking stalls. They are new and people aren’t use to them. If they plow them people will adjust.Stopped there today, it looked like the snow had not been plowed today which makes it nearly impossible to get to with a model s unless you want to plow the snow with your bumper.
The ones by the building were accessible but you’d be sticking out into the path of traffic.

Normally that’s true, but the time I was there, it was snowed in and the car traffic created a path around the building pretty close to the stalls. So if you were to back in you’d be blocking the makeshift pathway that cuts across the parking spots.The path of traffic shouldn’t cross parking stalls. They are new and people aren’t use to them.

Then they’d drive around you. It’s an obvious parking spot. Having snow on the ground hides the lines they are crossing but doesn’t give them the right to ignore it if there is a car parked there.Normally that’s true, but the time I was there, it was snowed in and the car traffic created a path around the building pretty close to the stalls.

Small collapsible snow shovels are relatively cheap and fit nicely in the frunk. One should also have blankets, water, and a food supply!If you might need this stop and it’s been snowing then I suggest you carry a shovel. Frankly you should carry a shovel in the winter in the mountains no matter what and where you are driving.
Now if only we had V2L to power nice electric snow blowers!Or a portable snow plow.
I also had a similar experience about 5 years ago. Except I turned around and drove back to the Rocklin store to charge (the last supercharger going up the hill at the time.) The experience added a lot of time to the trip to Truckee, but I was super glad I did it.It was one of my three bad "state of charge" experiences in a Tesla. Probably the worst just because of conditions.

Anyone on a snow mission today?
Got a phone camera?
I’d love to see some ‘Snow Mission’ pictures of this Tesla supercharger station with what, I imagine, is a serious, over the top amount of snow!
Thanks for the update. I'm planning on heading up there tomorrow but I wasn't sure if I should stop at Auburn instead. I'll plan to stop here now.Post snow mission photos.
One damaged charger3C. Reported.
I had exactly the same issues in February, but only got 45-60kw. I tried multiple chargers, and others had the same problem. I would avoid this charger for now unless you can't make it over the top of the hill to Truckee. Its better than nothing, but its probably the only Supercharger site I have ever encountered with a long term issue affecting the entire site.I charged at this site on 3/15 and there’s clearly a power supply issue. The peak power I received (at 21% SOC) was 75kW. And the power was fluctuating based on number of vehicles plugged in. 8/12 stalls used and maxing out at 75kW means they don’t have enough grid supply or power modules have failed. I would bet on a grid supply issue. Maybe they’re waiting for a new transformer to arrive in the summer
What size is the transformer? Should be a rating plate or marking somewhere. There should also be a red rating plate on the switchgear cabinet door.I charged at this site on 3/15 and there’s clearly a power supply issue. The peak power I received (at 21% SOC) was 75kW.
