    Supercharger - Gustine, CA (12 V2 stalls)

    Wow - someone got out of bed on the wrong foot. "The value I see..." I think made it clear that this was a pure personal viewpoint. The response could have been stated in a more positive way like "it allows me to skip Harris" or similar. Santa Nella is a key location for different people for...

    Supercharger - Gustine, CA (12 V2 stalls)

    The value I see in Santa Nella living in the Bay Area is not going South as Harris (or Buttonwillow if the car could make it) would be my first stop. However returning from the South Santa Nella is a good stop after the monotone I5 to take a short break shaking my legs before going on the home...

    Supercharger - Bakersfield, CA (I-5 / Stockdale Hwy, 10 V2 stalls)

    "I doubt it could support all the traffic on a holiday weekend" That is not the intention of batteries and solar... the intention is to better manage the electricity cost. And there is a nice synergy... on weekend SC usage is high while industrial electricity usage is low - during the week it...

    The permit calls for batteries. The chargers, PowerPack and switchgear have different looking cabinets. Just a peak if one can see one or more PowerPacks.

    Tesla Supercharger network

    Nope - I am quite active. However I do not go where the masses tend to go... 99 (Sierra Nevada) and 101 North of SF is where I go - not luck there. I live exactly in the middle between Gilroy and Fremont - 20 miles each is too close to extend my range. On the 101 I have a work around as I...

    Tesla Supercharger network

    I would see it different... Texas has been privileged to get early superchargers. The nation wide network was promised end of 2015. I live in CA and there are ZERO superchargers that help ME to go where I need to go. But I will not complain until the nation wide skeleton network is complete.

    In general superchargers at service centers are a must in order to test customer cars, however they don't have to run full power or be accessible to the public. When local conditions allow, there is a good chance that Tesla will place them in a public area.

    All I can say is keep a shovel in the car when driving in snow conditions... keeps you warm getting to the free stuff

    The y-axis was changed from 200 ideal miles to 170 EPA rated miles... no real change but uses now a more practical measure.

    The Blink station I used last also had a handicapped marked space, but the instructions were very clear - use this spot last.

    Charging with time-of-use billing

    Indirectly you can manipulate the stop time... by lowering the level the battery stops charging.
