Y’all waiting for the credit to come back do know that Tesla would immediately raise their prices to claw back 80% of it, right? Each time the credit was phased out, Tesla lowered their prices to compensate most of the difference. The EV credit is ultimately an incentive for EV manufacturers...

FYI, the permit application has been updated with the actual location, in the parking lot at the west corner of Truxtun and Roosevelt. There are existing Chargepoint chargers there. Still no permit issued though, and no update on the type or number of chargers.

Permit issued 9/8/2020, keep those eyes open for signs of construction!

Yay happy to have found my third SD supercharger :-D. This one was the trickiest yet. It has happened with previous permits (e.g. the Del Mar Heights permit) that the initial submission has the wrong geo location in the DSD system, and defaults to the middle of downtown. Sometimes it also an...

I found this on scoutred: Project: Project Details | Open DSD PENINSULA: Building and Electrical permits for site improvements at an existing parking lot. Work to include: Demo portion of landscaping, new charge posts, restripe parking and relocate lighting fixture. Base Zone CR-1-1, Geo Haz...

I found this on scoutred: Project: Project Details | Open DSD Electrical: Approval Details | Open DSD I don't know who to tag these days, so please help me get the attention of whomever is needed to add this to supercharge.info Coordinates point to Kohls / Vons Parking Lot (32.818922...

Riverside - Canyon Springs Pkwy, CA / Moreno Valley just opened with V3, so hopefully V3 is no longer the limiting factor...

Ironically that would mean SD currently has more superchargers within its city limits than SJ! :p

I'm not clear on this. I also arrived after midnight on a Friday night and could not find a path to the chargers, since there are closed gates. Is there a path to the chargers when the gates are closed? I've marked the two gates I saw on the map, I assume there are others. Screen Shot 2019-07-28...

I could use some help understanding the readout here. I charged the car to 100%, then drove around town until I got down to 12 miles range remaining. Despite starting with "242" rated miles, I wouldn't have even reached 200 miles. This is with an efficiency that was 319 Wh/mi, vs the 298...

Yes, I got my first squeaks from the front brakes at 75k. Rears squeaked at 98k. You can get new drilled/slotted/dipped rotors and ceramic pads on Amazon for <$200/axle and do it yourself. I made the mistake of having a place do the fronts and it cost me $1000! They got all OEM parts direct from...

Let's set a Kona (or Niro) and a 2012 Model S (with brand new 85 kWh battery pack) off at 65 MPH and see which one stops first. Guarantee it's not the Tesla. Rated (self-certified) range is slightly lower than the Tesla, but those Korean cars are far outpacing their rating (10-20%), while you'd...

@BlueShift it's open

The parking structure was pretty busy today! That may be the limiting factor -- just the time/hassle it takes to get through to the top floor. Was never more than half-full during the noon hour on a Saturday. Should be horrendous once the shops are all up and running.
