    Supercharger - San Anselmo, CA (under construction Apr 2023)

    I am guessing that PG&E is devoting all their resources to storm recovery and to counting their money from their obscene earnings report last week.

    Supercharger - King City, CA (LIVE 15 Sep 2023, 16 V3 stalls)

    A SC in King City has been my dream since I bought my 3 back in 2018. Glad it's finally open!!!

    Perceptions

    Add Elon not just joining but leading the culture wars and a major corporation with NO public relations agency, overly dependent on one person to set the tone for the company. I've been saying for years they need a strong COO and Elon needs to be more of a figurehead but that ain't gonna happen...

    Is my beloved 2018 LR Model 3 turning into a maintenance $$$$ nightmare?

    After blow drying the interior of the seat (in the gap in the back) and blow drying under the seat, and then letting the car cook at 82 degrees with seat heater on for an hour, the errors have cleared and my car is back to being her wonderful self. I do really want a new 3 but realllllllly want...

    Spilled bottle of water on front seat, now Fasten Seatbelt warnings won't go away - Solution!

    Thanks for this thread. Husband spilled water coming home from the gym and we got the alert plus the occupancy sensor malfunction. Car is currently baking in the garage at 80 degrees with the seat heater on full blast.

    Is my beloved 2018 LR Model 3 turning into a maintenance $$$$ nightmare?

    That was a huge help - thank you!!! Upon interrogation (smile), my husband confessed that he SPILLED WATER in the passenger seat driving home from the gym yesterday (!!!!). Without your post I would never have thought to ask "Hey, did you by any chance f up my car by spilling water in the...

    Is my beloved 2018 LR Model 3 turning into a maintenance $$$$ nightmare?

    I took delivery of my silver model 3 in June of 2018. During the warranty period a number of issues were addressed and they were always issues that people were discussing on this forum. Tesla mobile service took care of them all efficiently and I loved my model 3. Until recently it's the best...

    Supercharger - Santa Ynez, CA - Santa Ynez St. (under construction May 2024, 8 stalls)

    Great location. Now if we could just get the Santa Barbara / Montecito hotel prices to return to pre-pandemic pricing we would be down there tomorrow.

    Power Conversion System (PCS) failure

    Yes a few days ago I went to the NHTSA website to file a complaint and really this is not a safety issue. Although if a gas-powered car could not be filled with gas I guess maybe a safety issue since people would be stranded? Still it's a leap. It's not like a defective seatbelt or airbag.

    Power Conversion System (PCS) failure

    I don't want mediation... I want a class action lawsuit.

    Power Conversion System (PCS) failure

    Here's another way of looking at it. I spent $2000 on maintenance for a 5 year old car. That's $400 a year. Not bad. Because it was part of a tech service bulletin and a KNOWN issue, I still believe they should have covered it. My car is low mileage (32,000) so has not had as many charge cycles...

    This Tweet (are they still called that?) is no longer a valid url. Are there any updates on this one?

    Power Conversion System (PCS) failure

    The repair is now $2100, not $1800 as it was before. That hurt, right at christmas.

    Power Conversion System (PCS) failure

    Add me to the huge list of people who have had this issue with the 2018 LR 3. Seems to me like there should be a class action lawsuit on a critical part which has a very high failure rate.

    They must be using my contractor. Slow as Christmas.

    Supercharger - Petaluma, CA (Proposed, 5002 N. Petaluma Blvd, 31 stalls)

    Yes that's a really good point. I wonder if the one side will be L1 and the other L2. That would be a LOT of L2 stations!

    Supercharger - Petaluma, CA (Proposed, 5002 N. Petaluma Blvd, 31 stalls)

    (This thread is something more than location speculation but something less than a confirmed site, so @bmah I'll leave it to you to decide where it goes) In today's Santa Rosa Press Democrat, there is an article about the re-development of the Cattlemens site which is proposed to include 31 EV...

    Supercharger - San Ardo, CA (LIVE 28 Jun 2023, 12 V3 stalls)

    This one has a great look... is this a new model for Superchargers with the cool solar canopy? I don't think I've seen that aside from the really huge sites. Can't wait to try this one out!!!

    Supercharger - Napa, CA - Bel Aire Plaza (LIVE 1 Sep 2023, 12 V3 stalls)

    It's not too bad getting into that first pocket left turn lane as long as you are in the first lane of the right turn (counting from the left side) as you exit 29. Similarly, I would say it's a 5-minute walk at a comfortable pace to Whole Foods / Trader Joes and maybe add two minutes to that for...

    Supercharger - Napa, CA - Bel Aire Plaza (LIVE 1 Sep 2023, 12 V3 stalls)

    This is a major operation and a good location for a SC... I'm hearing from friends that the other Napa one is more and more busy and is even full sometimes on weekends which never used to be the case.

    Supercharger - Napa, CA - Bel Aire Plaza (LIVE 1 Sep 2023, 12 V3 stalls)

    I was there and took a bunch of photos today and posted them here but I don't see the post... mods, did it get deleted or moved? Maybe I didn't submit the post correctly? Tons of PG&E trucks there today.

    Supercharger - King City, CA (LIVE 15 Sep 2023, 16 V3 stalls)

    That is wonderful news! Frankly I had given up on a SC in King City given all the stops and starts. Thanks for the photos... any of the surrounding lot? It's in a Burger King parking lot?

    Supercharger - King City, CA (LIVE 15 Sep 2023, 16 V3 stalls)

    Great news, but if you scroll up, the permit was issued and expired once... let's hope this time they actually build the darn thing haha... From the satellite photo it's a much better location than 530 Canal... right by the freeway, easy in and out, and a nice pool to use haha.... I think...

    Supercharger - Monterey, CA (Del Monte Center, LIVE 10 Aug 2017, 10 V2 + 4 V3 stalls)

    Looks like a rough day at this supercharger.... it's been showing a >25 minute wait for a while with lots of pedestals out of order. Maybe they are upgrading the old V2 to V3?

    Supercharger - Napa, CA - Bel Aire Plaza (LIVE 1 Sep 2023, 12 V3 stalls)

    OK here's a little secret for my TMC friends... Yountville's Chargepoint stations are borderline free. I think a complete charge costs about 65 cents. There are two stations at the community center and two stations at town hall. Busy on weekends, empty on weekdays.

    Supercharger - Atascadero, CA - 900 El Camino Real (under construction Jun 2023)

    Nice. The original Atascadero was looking old 4 years ago... can't imagine what it looks like now.

    Supercharger - San Anselmo, CA (under construction Apr 2023)

    Unlike some of the other choices I have seen around here (I'm looking at YOU, Whole Foods San Rafael) this is a great location, serving the Ross valley and filling an important gap. Easy in and out, large parking lot, lots of amenities, perfect.

    Supercharger - San Rafael, CA (LIVE 4 Feb 2023, 8 stalls)

    I stopped by today, covered in tarps... delivery truck blocking some of the pedestals.

    I was there today and the charging stations are in and covered with Tesla covers.... forgot to take a photo but will grab one next time.

    Supercharger - San Rafael, CA (LIVE 4 Feb 2023, 8 stalls)

    An update... it appears the cabinets will be in the spot I mentioned, and the actual chargers are going to be in the location on the permit request. I apologize for the confusion. Photos:

    Supercharger - San Rafael, CA (LIVE 4 Feb 2023, 8 stalls)

    I drove by today and they have fenced off the new location (north side of the western lot) and they were digging there. The SC's are definitely going there. The old location is untouched.
  35. goldengate

    Supercharger - San Rafael, CA (LIVE 4 Feb 2023, 8 stalls)

    Sorry for the delay in responding. Yes, this is on the north side of the western lot. I was told by an associate they are installing it there but will keep an eye on it.

    ROFL.... yes it's the San Rafael version of the Tesla Kettleman lounge. You don't even need a PIN to use! (joking aside, it is the employee break table, which normally sits where the digger is)

    Supercharger - San Rafael, CA (LIVE 4 Feb 2023, 8 stalls)

    This site is officially under construction as of this morning! My timing was perfect to see them beginning to set up (and check their phones haha). The store employee told me "Tesla chargers are going in there." The location is different than the original plan -- it's in the back of the parking...

    Supercharger - Santa Maria, CA (LIVE 18 May 2022, 20 V3 stalls)

    This is great news! Huge GOLD STAR ⭐(highly coveted in some circles) to the first person who posts a YouTube video (or other provider) of entering the garage and navigating to the superchargers. Extra points if the passenger does this so you don't hit something making the video. 🤣

    Tesla Dealership/Service coming to San Luis Obispo, California

    This is great news for those of us who drive up and down 101.... there's a pretty big gap in service between San Jose and Santa Barbara last I checked... always worried an emergency service issue would result in a very very long tow which is why I have AAA+.

    Xfinity mobile and iPhone any issues?

    As others have stated- Xfinity is simply re-selling Verizon's service and branding it as their own. I would just go directly to Verizon and not deal with Xfinity since they are a nightmare. A guy in Texas kept ordering cell phones on my account (with two factor authentication) and Xfinity was...

    Looks like we have a location! It's going to be at the MdR Hotel - A DoubleTree by Hilton at 13343 Bali Way... still 8 stations. By total luck, I happen to be staying there next week so will snoop around... Full details here: CSS

    Supercharger - San Luis Obispo, CA - Los Osos Valley Rd (LIVE 15 May 2021, 16 V3 stalls)

    Great news for those of us driving through as well... I have long been concerned about the lack of Tesla service on that long stretch between Monterey and Santa Barbara. It's one of the reasons I upgraded my AAA towing to the maximum.
