The LaVerne site is what worries me more. It's not like they were finished and just waiting for a transformer. All progress just suddenly stopped. They still need to pave and take down gates and what not. I don't think that whoever was contracted to do their work lost their contact at Tesla and...

It's not confirmed the V3. The bottom of the pedestals look like V4s to me.

Interesting observation. Assuming that these are V4s could they be the first pull-through V4s? Not sure I've seen any in the ones I've been to or seen pictures of.

Sounds like these were built specifically for Tesla shuttles. In the event you were operating one and it was close to running out for whatever reason would be ideal to be able to get back to full charge ASAP.

Visited again yesterday. Took a picture but as far as I can tell no changes. Probably just waiting for a transformer at this point from the looks of it.

Been having a lot of freetime recently so decided to use some of it to knock out 2 chargers today. Check-ins for 2024-05-14 - Lake Arrowhead, CA (#315) (Comment: ) - Big Bear Lake, CA (#316) (Comment: )

There's one on Route 101 down in socal. Got the solar canopy and everything just no paving, kinda weird.

Nope, Musk pretty explicitly stated that in construction chargers will be finished and as much as he does lie I feel pretty inclined to believe him on this one since once its' in construction most of the work (which is the work the supercharger team handled) has been done

Is there a reason this charger is marked as a solar canopy site or did an editor mislable it?

It was reported that all "in construction" chargers would be finished.

Haven't had any issues myself although I've only been to 3 so not a fantastic sample size.

Looks like it to me. If you look at the uncovered bottoms of the chargers on the right they're on a black sort of pedestal with the end curving up slightly. V3's aren't on black pedestals so I feel fairly confident they're V4's as a result.

Visited today. There was no transformer on site and nothing significantly different from the video that was posted last week. looked like they were just doing some electrical engineering work with the cabinets today.

First V4's in all of Canada as far as I can tell from supercharge.info

Still closed nearly a month later. Perhaps worth switching to temporarily closed? Not sure how much longer this'll keep up.

You're good, sure they'll be plenty of opportunities in the future

Almost to 1k nice! Should be able to share the third first with you since I have enough time to go out to LA tonight.

Check-ins for 2024-04-18 - San Bernardino - W Little League Dr, CA (#313) (First to check-in) (Comment: ) - Norwalk, CA (#314) (First to check-in) (Comment: ) Nothing particularly notable about either chargers.

Going to be doing the same myself

Visited Monday and took some pictures, looks absolutely gigantic in person. Nothing too different from silvers pictures as far as I can tell.

Just checked and I once did a 9-100% charge in 35 minutes with a peak of 114kw. So...suffice to say definitely not an hour.

Is the post saying it's in a publicly accessible location incorrect? No one refuted it. The assumption that it would only be able to charge certain cars seems unlikely. Someone mentioned service center chargers but in my experience those are capable of charging any Tesla they just typically...

Is there a reason this supercharger says "private access" on supercharge.info? The conclusion here seems to be that's it's a publicly accessible charger if you can get to the island and have a Tesla.

Was going through my spreadsheets planning in advance for a roadtrip I'm doing in a couple months and remembered that during my last Pacific Northwest roadtrip on my way home Tesla routed me to a Pay to Park supercharger and by the time I got there was pretty low charge so just payed and moved...

Yeah noticed that yesterday after I made my post lol. Glad I could get it fixed

@Big Earl Could this charger be updated on the map to show as V4 instead of V3?

Took an overnight demo drive to try out v12 and used the opportunity to drive to Malibu to catch the broken charger I missed a while back Check-ins for 2024-04-09 - Malibu, CA (#311) (Comment: )

There's currently a 164 stall site planned for Lost Hills, CA

Looks like I'll need to make a roadtrip out to this one once it's completed so I can still say I've been to all of the largest supercharger stations in the world.

My hope is that with these "mega stations" they will at least start the rollout of actual V4 stations so they're futureproofed for at least the next decade.

Got some pictures from someone in the area on discord today and looks like it's 16 stalls rather the original estimate of 12. (Assuming they didn't build an extra cabinet for the lols)

Sharing the first with @Limited one hour later! Check-ins for 2024-04-04 - Pomona - Rio Rancho Rd, CA (#310) (First to check-in) (Comment: )

Took a trip to the Monterey Bay Aquarium today to used it as a chance to nab the 2 chargers in Gilroy I skipped. Check-ins for 2024-04-03 - Gilroy, CA (#308) (Comment: ) - Gilroy - Camino Arroyo, CA (#309) (Comment: )

Looks like this charger moved to 3040 parks highway at some point according to Marco on twitter to a spot closer to fairbanks (yes the initial post of the 48 stalls was an april fools day joke but as shown in the thread the location and everything thereafter is not)

Confirmation that this is in fact not an april fools joke I will move this discussion to the other thread since that's what it pertains to now

He said that this was the Ester location. I really don't think this was an April Fools joke lol

Correct, I'm referring to the second upper post. Ignore the bottom one I couldn't figure out a way to get it to post without the quote tweet.

That's disappointing

In hindsight this could be the Ester one but the location changed at some point? It's not next to the Ester gas station like the one currently listed is. But it'd be weird to put 2 chargers to close to one another in such a rural place so that seems like an equally likely explanation.

This was posted by Marco on twitter today as plans for a charger in the city limits of Fairbanks that wasn't one of the 4 NEVI chargers as far as I can tell. (I also hope this isn't a double april fools prank in which case I've been sufficiently got)

Since the "planned" indication was added last week wouldn't it make more sense for these to be under "planned" rather then "permited"

Quite close then if that's about accurate and there isn't any other reason I would've been disqualified, that's unfortunate. Can't be to mad since the prize isn't anything of value for me I'll just be forever disappointed lol. I knew what I was getting into when I started. Took me like a week...

Potentially. For my base I used 5 miles (between 1 and 2 kWh), this was what I found to be a consistent charge to register in the app. Do you know where they mentioned this category thing? One of the things I hated about the competition in general was that they didn't mention any of the...

Welp congrats! This is what I was going for but guess I didn't make the cut :/ Although I guess I'm glad I also didn't get the useless supercharging credits lol. Any idea how many chargers you visited? Curious how close I was.

Right but the magic docks aren't functional either.

Wasn't planning on doing anything today after the last two days but couldn't miss my chance for a first! Check-ins for 2024-03-24 - Whittier - Washington Blvd, CA (#293) (First to check-in) And @Half Dollar Bill to answer your question I noticed no differences in charging speed recently...

Surely it would still make sense for Tesla to make money though? My understanding is since they charge non-Tesla users a significant premium there's a nice profit margin for them compared to normal users. Like I said, just confuses me. I'm sure they have a reason for doing things this way just...

Day 2! Much better day managed to hit 60 chargers (still less than I wanted but I'll take it) Multiple chargers were skipped because of P2P and 6 were skipped for time, still much fewer than the day before. Nothing particularly noteworthy about the trip but I enjoyed myself quite a bit. San...

Rather unfortunately I didn't see this message until tonight, probably would have worked out too which sucks. Sure they'll be another opportunity in the future though. I've rather enjoyed this month and last and will probably make it a yearly thing along with my usual vacation to...
