Buellton upgrade is moving right along. No charger posts yet but fresh paving and the lines are freshly painted, the pre-existing xfrmr is still there, the cabinets are in place but not fully incovered and bolted down. This'll be a nice stop once it's activated. I was interested in the wiring...

Okay, the Buellton CA supercharger is getting a full up rebuild. Looks like 16 V3's (4's?) .

I stopped by the two SC's closest to me: Vandenberg Village (Lompoc) and Buellton, The VV unit has the xfrmr installed and there is a 200 yard trench covered by dirt and steel Plates that runs to Constellation Rd where i assume it ties into the grid Seems like: tie it in both ends and pave the...

What connector do you use down under? I assume it's a CCS2 with the two DC ports hanging down from the main body of the connector?

Remember the SC in Vandenberg Village (20 miles away) is almost on line. Last i saw there, they were in wait mode for the transformer. I really want the Buellton to come back as well. It's my go-to SC as i only live 8 miles away. Yes, Anderson's Pea Soup is gone, but it was getting seedier...

My partner needs a motorized, collapsible mobility chair. We would like to mount a carrier to the back of the car which can go down to the ground so that the COLLAPSED chair can be easily put on the carrier and then the carrier lifted (motor? hand crank?) so that she can drive away. When she...

What happened to the Santa Monica mega Supercharger?

Wow, that's extreme. I've been taking long distance trips since 4/25/2018. No problems using Superchargers. This "firmware issue" is new to me. Thanks for posting this. I believe in Tesla, the Superchargers and the adventure of getting out on the road. Make it happen.

Stopped at Baker Supercharger yesterday. The Electrify America system is adding two(?) more CCS/Chademo stations. They've really done a nice job of making it look good. The whole EA area is fenced off while the work's being done. In the pix you'll see a massive 40 Tesla chargers and then the...

cerealzealot: very mature.

jf64k, Was it you that tested COVID-19 positive, or one of the delivery folks? Sorry to hear that. At eighty, me and partner are trying hard to not do close contact things. Bluedog

The two previously damaged stations have their cables draped over the top, meaning they aren't working. The one that was most severely damaged, hasn't worked since the unit was replaced. I wonder if there's some service needed to reactivate them. I was really cheered up when they replaced the...

What’s the Power Pack and Megapack you speak of??

Trojaneen, i have had the exact same experience: ordered at 10:00 am on March 31st, 2016. Took delivery at 1:00pm on April 25, 2018. Off we went from our house in Lompoc CA and took an anxiety free trip to Calgary and back. Love this car. Model 3, Red, aero wheels, long range battery, Tesla...

Here's why the pedestals ought to be totally "back into to charge" type. This is the Buellton, CA supercharger. There was the far one damaged a month ago and now the totally damaged one in the front. What's with people?
