    Supercharger - Pacific Grove, CA (under construction August 2023, 12 stalls)

    Blocking signs have been removed. No indication of any change. Suspect weather may be a problem. But will keep eye out.

    Supercharger - Pacific Grove, CA (under construction August 2023, 12 stalls)

    New signs with tape blocking stalls for next 2 weeks. They may finally be connecting to the utility. I will keep an eye on it.

    Supercharger - Pacific Grove, CA (under construction August 2023, 12 stalls)

    I agree. The only reason I assumed it would be PG&E was as the installation crew was leaving they told me the "power company" had to run underground cables to connect. I never thought it would be farmed out - but makes sense. Thanks for the info.

    Supercharger - Greenville, SC

    As will current locations as they get older and new tech provides quicker and more efficient use of available power by advances in EV car design.

    Supercharger - Pacific Grove, CA (under construction August 2023, 12 stalls)

    Still no hookup to PG&E. We just had 4 days electrical outage pretty much all over the Peninsula and are expecting another lengthy storm end of this week. PG&E is extremely busy with these outages, so my guess is March/April.... or even May .... 2024

    Superchargers in Hawaii (location speculation, general discussion)

    No, do not, cannot and have no reason to try to charge both vehicles at the same time on that one line to the charger. We had a line installed (years ago) from the main panel (oppostite side of house from garage). That line goes to a sub panel (installed on Garage wall) which has installed in...

    Superchargers in Hawaii (location speculation, general discussion)

    In 2013, shortly after Tesla installed our solar panels, we had a 50A line run from our main panel, to the detached garage - installed a separate small panel for it (nothing else on that panel). Then ran a cable from that panel behind the drywall to the opposite wall for the Tesla charger (40A)...

    Superchargers in Hawaii (location speculation, general discussion)

    No... We have two Teslas and previously charged one at a time on the 50A line we had run to the garage when our first of 3 Teslas was bought in 2013. Having just the two now - we would only charge one at a time, which was not a problem. My wife's commute is about 120 miles - mine is 3 miles...

    How long between inspection and PTO? [various areas]

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

    Supercharger - Pacific Grove, CA (under construction August 2023, 12 stalls)

    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...

    Superchargers in Hawaii (location speculation, general discussion)

    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...

    How long between inspection and PTO? [various areas]

    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?

    Superchargers in Northern California (location speculation)

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

    Supercharger - Pacific Grove, CA (under construction August 2023, 12 stalls)

    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...

    Supercharger - Pacific Grove, CA (under construction August 2023, 12 stalls)

    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...

    Supercharger - Pacific Grove, CA (under construction August 2023, 12 stalls)

    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

    7 years later what is your 100% on your 85kWh battery?

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

    Supercharger - Pacific Grove, CA (under construction August 2023, 12 stalls)

    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...

    Supercharger - Pacific Grove, CA (under construction August 2023, 12 stalls)

    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...

    Tesla lies about car range

    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.

    Supercharger - Tehachapi, CA (permit, 40 stalls)

    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...

    Supercharger - Monterey, CA (Del Monte Center, LIVE 10 Aug 2017, 10 V2 + 4 V3 stalls)

    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.

    Supercharger - Asheville, NC - 4 South Tunnel Road

    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...

    Supercharger - Brighton, CO

    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.

    PBS Newshour story says EVs cant be driven cross county - while it shows a person charging at a Tesla Supercharger!!

    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...

    Supercharger - Cerritos, CA - Los Cerritos Center (LIVE 4 Sep 2020, 20 urban stalls)

    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.

    Supercharger - Cerritos, CA - Los Cerritos Center (LIVE 4 Sep 2020, 20 urban stalls)

    Not sure they install those anymore. Someone correct me.

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

    Supercharger - Kalispell, MT (permit Feb 2023, 12 V3 stalls)

    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.

    Supercharger - Monterey, CA - Fishermans Wharf (location found)

    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...

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

    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...

    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.
