Never got a manual or how to add battery to my car and solar app (unless there is a different app).

I was told by the crew (as they were 'departing the site') that PG&E had yet to run a 'line' from the street - puportedly underground'. I don't see a spot for the telltale green transformer, so not sure what will be the indication that opening is eminent. PG&E has different priorities with the...

We had our Tesla home charger removed at request of Tesla due to a Powerwall installation - which is an addition to our Tesla solar panels that were installed in 2013 (no reason given). Were told if we want to put it back after, that's our choice. Still haven't - but we have been able to charge...

Or calls

Had Powerwall added to Solar installation (2013) last month - got PTO within 3 days after inspection. Still trying to get Powerwall battery added to App. Impossible to get help from Tesla. Any suggestions?

True.... but even a 5-10 charge while exchanging bucks at 'Bucks would be a convenience.

Yes, I agree. That space where 10 of the 12 chargers are sitting is usually the location of the Christmas tree sales and would be fenced off for well over a month. When that happens parking is really at a premium... so Iam sure there will be non electric cars sitting here for more than the 60...

OK... went to site to find location of the elusive green transformer (to be jnstalled by PG&E) Took this pic - about to leave and a worker truck pulls in). I ask about transformer and was told PG&E has to pull a line from out on the street. He pointed to the location of the yellow cover (in the...

Here they are

Looks ready... but no sign of green xformer from PG&E or a pad. Did takes pics and one large white cabinet that I don't from previous sites. Will post

My wife has just under 140,000 on her 2nd Model S 100D and gets 299-305 when fully charged.

Has been relatively low activity last couple of weeks... so yes must be on PG&E (which is currently very busy cleaning up last winter's disasters and preparing for this winter coming.) Haven't seen any mention of amenities... Relatively small shopping center... there is a Luckys grocery store...

uhhh paving

No major progress at this time..... A relatively small parking lot - will take up a big chunk of space. Appreciate this addition - we deal with a ton of weekenders all year round. I llve 1/2 mile away. Pebble beach is 1/4 mile from here so lots of Teslas. Will use in emergency as the garage...

Don't care about range.... as long as I'm paying less than 5 cents a mile - I'm happy. Actually averaging between 3.5 to 4 (which varies based on conditions and my driving mood). This is with 2 MS's and an M3 combined total of over 400,000 miles.

I remember a time when it was difficult for Tesla to get approval to build a Supercharger. I think if one can be installed NOW at any location - do it !!!! Tesla sales have increased dramatically and will continue to do so. If there's a choice to build at location A or B and B says go - then do...

Yup weekenders use this a lot. But there are several locations close that don't usually get that much traffic. A new one is planned down by one of the wharfs, but not much happening lately.

Don't know the statistics, but I find I get highest charge rates when I start preconditioning 30+ miles out and battery level when I plug in is less than 20%. That's with my Model 3. My wife's Model S's (current and former) never seem to charge at a very high rate similar to the Model 3. If I...

If there are fleet cars parked in a charger spot and not connected, wouldn't it be a neighborly thing to plug it in for them. (I'm guessing whoever parked forgot to plug it in). I'm sure they will return to move the car before the idle fees start accumulating.

Nope.... they recently increased their rates. Still... funny reply.

Shoulda just placed 'em all behind rear license plate (Can't believe I posted in a thread over 1000.)

Wow !! Almost a year between postings here !!

At NASA, it was said your project would fail if you didn't have a TLA Three Letter Acronym And yet NASA.... go figure

I moved from this area to California in 2006. Pepco still hasn't cashed my final check.

uhhhhhh!!!! Sorry. In 2021 my son challenged me to do all 50 states in one year. I did the 48 in my M3. !st trip was 3 day weekend from here in Central coast California to Portland, Oregon crossing the Columbia River (which put me in Washington State.) Distance for the 45 states was just under...

Yes, of course, there are many 72kW chargers out there also being used. Some locations have a mixture since additional chargers , being added, were of the newer type. So, I am betting that if any additional ones are installed here, they will be the newer chargers.

Not sure they install those anymore. Someone correct me.

Oh, sorry.... I thought there was a different reason.

Usually no cost if not yet on the screen

Maybe check on your phone every hour or so to see when the charging has cut off?

Yes, been waiting for a few years. Along with Cody Wyoming, one of the tricky areas to get through. However, Cody makes for an interesting overnight stay and has several destination chargers.

Ahhh... nothing like having your friend's fingernails embedded in the back of your skull...

Is that a blank pad to the left of center? I don't see a green transformer in any of the pictures.

Stopped by. There is no way that I could find that you will get to the chargers without paying. There is no cashier - you pick up ticket at entrance and pay at a kiosk before going to retrieve your car. Unless there is a large restructure of the 'enter and exit' facility, ya gotta pay. 1st pic...

I tried - make that tomorrow morning.

Will swing by in the morning.

Is that inside the paid parking area?

Could be they're awaiting delivery of the elusive "transformer". Unless it is already there.

How about "I will give you the check fully made out but with the wrong signature" Then of course, don't allow them to look at it.

Not too far from location of the Diner from the movie of the same name. Although a Diner was placed there - it wasn't actually a real diner - but sat there for several years after the movie. Also of note - there is a pic of a Zeppelin flying overhead (pre WW II ) with the swastika on it's tail...

Hwy 17 (Santa Cruz to San Jose) on autopilot. Only the brave - definitely a weak-knee shrinker.

I think they have to take everything out and make sure the site looks exactly as it did pre=permit. Or they could get an extension.

I wouldn't depend on charging there (unless participating). They always get antsy when I drive down toward the paddock on non-race days. (Usually taking folks to racing classes). There are a few other Tesla chargers nearby - maybe 10 minutes away (Monterey, Sand City, and Seaside).

Same as with an ICE pulling into a small town with power out. If you don't have enough (gas or electric) to make it to the next location - you wait it out. Most gas stations do not have backup power for the pumps. Welcome to the first 20 years of gas vehicles.

Maybe the culprit Tesla was a landscaper.

Top charging speed is only when you are at the bottom area of level when you plug in. It quickly slows down as charge level rises. The savvy Tesla traveler likes to arrive with the lowest charge level possible and therefore charge at a higher rate - but discontinue after getting enough (plus a...

I've heard of these wild dumpsters breaking out of their pens in an attempt to escape. They rarely get far.

The operas not over till the fat green transformer sings.

Never saw general public in the paddock area with their vehicles.

Yeah, a pain - if you have to do a round trip. But if charging before or after Laguna Seca there are 4 SC's within 20 minutes each direction away from Laguna Seca.
