Things are moving quickly ... PG&E started cutting the pavement to get power to the superchargers. I don't see the transformer at the site yet. I talked to the Volition guy, who said that it may be a couple months to get the V4 pedestals, saying there was some sort of design issue (for which I...

PG&E on site today, looks like they are doing an inspection. Parking spaces painted as well.

Yes, my colleague and I walk past the site at lunch almost every week day. They've already done a lot of the wiring between the white boxes. We've met the project manager a couple times, he says it may be a couple months to get the pedestals and transformer. We can't wait!

I'm sure that you are correct HandleX. I hadn't considered it before, but you can see that the cable conduits come up through the center of the base. Hopefully we will be seeing physical confirmation very soon. It also appears that Tesla will not be placing the support hardware behind a...

Making progress! It looks like they will be orienting the pedestals so there will be more options for connecting, even access one pedestal from adjacent spaces. Some other spots seem different, probably at least one pull through space.. Not so sure how it will work out in the end. I hear...

I saw a video showing the San Jose Development info sign near the Costco Business Center off Capitol Expressway, near Eastridge Mall. The sign indicated that a Tesla Sales & Service operation is planned for an empty lot between Costco and the Baseball fields on North Evergreen Loop! When I get...

What is the process for getting the market moved to the east a bit?

The location is not where we expected, closer to McDonalds, near where the Chase Bank used to be.

... work has begun!

... perhaps now someone will now take over the former Sweet Tomatoes restaurant. I was hoping that the owner of the Marie Callendar's restaurant on Blossom Hill which closed would consider this location. Perhaps the attraction of EV owners charging their cars in the parking lot 24-7 would...

Looking at the Tesla map snapshot Shotgunsi posted, this looks like something other than the Target location originally planned. This location used to be a Chevron gas station that was razed years ago. I'm liking a supercharger on the corner in that location! I'm going to have to pass by to...

Does anyone have any link to more info? I'd love to know how big the battery is and how quickly it can charge. I love my Model S, but I've got to say that Rivian is better aligned to my desires than Tesla right now. I would LOVE to have one of those delivery vans and turn it into an RV!

Agree! The day that big fire started east of The Grapevine we stopped at Tejon Ranch. Fortunately traffic was relatively light because nearly half of the pedestals were not working (mostly ones under the solar panels!). This location is fairly close to the main power distribution lines from...

Stopped by this morning, really could have used it! There were a couple people working on the stations (gave me a chance to see the guts of the V3). They told me that between Tesla & PG&E it may be a while ... weeks to months ... before the station opens. Grrrrrr .....

The Shell is now Speedline ... There used to be a nice Japanese restaurant over on that side of the center, but that would be a bit of a walk, and it looks like they closed anyway. Fortunately there's a really good non-chain fast food place called "Back A Yard" a short walk from the...
