Supercharger - Victoria, BC

Ok, now how many chargers are there actually? 12 or 16?
From the photos I found 16
From the fB post : 12, in the photo there are 3 cabinets, chargers on the same side
2nd photo from @Cripps - chargers on separate sides from point of view : 6 stalls 3 cabinets
And a 3rd photo from another app (Superchargers) - 2 cabinets 4 chargers on the same side
Sorry for the dumbshit math but (3+3+2)x2 = 16 stalls?
Thanks for the Disagree from a post weeks before
Monday morning quarterbacking is when you criticize after the fact. I called the date and both of you critized me for it, not the other way around.
Yet here we are, two days after when I said it would be open, and both are silent of that fact. Interesting.
Hi All, this is my first post, have been following Tesla since day one and am gearing up to pull the trigger one day:
Checked it out tonight, it is 8 Superchargers split into 16 bays. Each supercharger is split into two bays (pods) just like other Supercharger setups: Pod 1a-1b, 2a-2b, etc.
Fastest access is turn into uptown from Carey road, continue straight into the parkade and then turn left into the supercharger area.

Welcome to the forum!
On another note, @BlueShift the pin isn’t exactly at the right spot. The chargers are located near the Whole Foods

Weirdly, this one shows up in Plugshare as "Saanich Supercharger". Odd as it is definitely an "official" entry (synchronised from Tesla) and Tesla uses Victoria in its description.

I don't fully understand the differences and the how/why between the various areas people live, and the reasons why some become "cities", but the supercharger itself is in fact in the district of Saanich, which neighbours the city of Victoria, and both are contained in the greater Victoria region. Similar to if you are from the district of North Vancouver you would simply tell people you meet from other countries you were from Vancouver. If and when a supercharger opens in North Vancouver it should be called the North Vancouver supercharger which is more descriptive than Vancouver supercharger- North Van?
So I would say Plugshare have it more accurate, and eventually if another supercharger is installed in the actual city of Victoria then that should be called the Victoria supercharger?

Plugshare can be edited. Saanich may be technically correct, but Santa’s mailroom (when it’s not on strike) uses Victoria for the entire “Greater Victoria” area. My vote is same as what Tesla calls it.

I would take that as a sign that there might be another Supercharger in the Victoria area some day.
It’s technically in Saanich, so it’s correctly named, I agree.
If they add a Supercharger downtown, that would be correctly named ‘Victoria’, or ‘Oak Bay’ etc...

I agree. If I were to mail a card to my sister, who technically lives in Saanich, it would never occur to me to write Saanich on the envelope. Now if she lived in Esquimalt.... kidding, kidding!

Yay! Planning a trip to the Island next June, and this unit will make our trip that much easier
An off-topic thought occurred to me while viewing the photos of the urban chargers though... how are they going to retrofit these units to have two charging cords per the recent news in relation to CCS for EU? (My guess is something similar happens in NA next year.) Maybe they swap all the cords to CCS, and all of us "Tesla inlet" cars get an adapter?

I think what happens is Tesla adds a combo adapter for those who want to use the CCS chargers, not for the CCS cars that want to use SuperchargersYay! Planning a trip to the Island next June, and this unit will make our trip that much easier
