    Supercharger - Sacramento, CA - Freeport Blvd. (LIVE 29 Sep 2020, 8 V3 stalls)

    Not v3 unless they upgrade the pedestal cables but fingers crossed... thanks for the update!

    Supercharger - Sacramento, CA - Freeport Blvd. (LIVE 29 Sep 2020, 8 V3 stalls)

    Still boxed up. Also, someone just added two J1772s to PlugShare in front of Jamba Juice today but not sure if online yet.

    Supercharger - Sacramento, CA - Freeport Blvd. (LIVE 29 Sep 2020, 8 V3 stalls)

    Well, doesn’t look like anything is going to happen here, soon if ever. They expanded the overhang parking area for grocery order pickup (given the situation today, a good call) in the north west corner and deleted the parking spaces opposite them. Will keep an eye out as they wrap things up if...

    Supercharger - Sacramento, CA - Freeport Blvd. (LIVE 29 Sep 2020, 8 V3 stalls)

    No SC equipment delivered yet. Parking lots full of workers cars doing interior construction. No update on the permit either. Looks like the project is on hold.

    Supercharger - Sacramento, CA - Freeport Blvd. (LIVE 29 Sep 2020, 8 V3 stalls)

    Update - construction on the north side of the building is complete and equipment/storage container was removed, so now will be easy to spot progress from the street. No equipment delivered yet, but now that Elk Grove construction is done, hope to see some progress soon!

    Supercharger - Elk Grove, CA - Elk Grove Blvd. (LIVE 21 Jul 2020, 16 V3 stalls)

    Cement truck was there on Wednesday pouring some more slabs on the south side of the lot, maybe for utility transformers.

    Supercharger - Sacramento, CA - Freeport Blvd. (LIVE 29 Sep 2020, 8 V3 stalls)

    Update - no equipment on site yet. They are finishing construction of an overhang structure on the north side of the building which may be blocking access. Parking lot curbs and light poles are installed. Planned opening for retail is in April. Meanwhile, construction started already on the Elk...

    Supercharger - Sacramento, CA - Freeport Blvd. (LIVE 29 Sep 2020, 8 V3 stalls)

    Update - I have confirmation that the superchargers will be located on the north west corner, the furthest possible area from all other stores and entrances. This can be seen from the street during construction so will update again when equipment is on-site. It could several months away - the...

    Supercharger - Sacramento, CA - Freeport Blvd. (LIVE 29 Sep 2020, 8 V3 stalls)

    Update - no update. No trenching or conduit yet along south or north parking lots. There are some parking spaces behind the stores, which would be a weird location given truck delivery docks, so it's wait and see since the entire site is still fenced off with no access. Overhead map view

    Supercharger - Sacramento, CA - Freeport Blvd. (LIVE 29 Sep 2020, 8 V3 stalls)

    Parking lots are in. This is a view of the south lot which looks like the best open area and closer to the utility transformers. Will update if any equipment shows up but they are focusing on the buildings now so don’t expect any updates soon.

    Supercharger - Sacramento, CA - Freeport Blvd. (LIVE 29 Sep 2020, 8 V3 stalls)

    This project is currently a construction site and going up very fast, and I'll post photos to the thread since I drive by often. The retail buildings are up but no stucco or electrical/plumbing yet, no pavement/parking lots yet, and the entire site is fenced off so it will be awhile before we...

    Supercharger - Visalia, CA #2 (under construction May 2022, 20 V3 stalls)

    Drove by earlier this week, and the mobile home business is still there, zero construction progress. I'd estimate Q3 at the earliest in 2020.

    kids friendly superchargers from SD to SF?

    At the Gustine supercharger, there is a Del Taco a block north (yeah, I know) that has an indoor play structure. Used it before in a pinch when raining. We've also stopped at big box stores like home depot/target just to wander around or find a small toy etc. When it's not raining, if you go...

    Supercharger - Sacramento, CA (LIVE 13 Oct 2017)

    This is a mostly empty parking lot most of the time, this location is not near the huge traffic at the Walmart/In-N-Out/Movie theater shopping area. There can be traffic at the Truxel exit but in general this will be a quiet safe location, a nice grass area for pets, and food options nearby...

    Manteca, CA to Mamoth Lakes, CA (new)

    Well, your first issue will be the giant ROAD CLOSED FOR WINTER sign on Highway 120 in Yosemite. You'll have to take Highway 50 to 89 (South Lake Tahoe) to 395 then south to Mammoth. This is actually a good plan because you can supercharge in Folsom and Gardnerville, giving you a larger buffer...

    Bonnie's Xcellent Adventure w/X Sig 2 - Config, Delivery, Roadtrip

    Looks like there are some gaps in the video below of the 3rd row folding down, small objects could fall in, but a cargo blanket is probably a good idea to keep the backs of the 2nd row seats protected anyway and would stop that from happening. Model X: Third row seats - YouTube

    WTB: Subzero (0F or -20F) windshield wiper fluid in SF Bay Area

    The California Air Resources Board has made it illegal to sell winter, non-freezing windshield washer solution in California except in high mountain areas due to the methanol content contributing to ozone pollution. You'll have to buy it in mountain areas when you get there. Why are VOCs in...

    Supercharger in Jordan

    Supercharger in Jordan

    I think Tesla is hiding the Jordan chargers from their maps until they have a service center/store there officially, but several Jordanian government officials have Tesla's including the Prime Minister so I think the supercharger stations are online but unofficial right now.

    QQ: Leave the AC on...?

    Only if you leave the car on (in neutral, then set parking brake using Controls screen) but I don't think you can lock it with it on from the outside. Maybe from the app? Also if someone breaks in they can drive it, so not ideal.

    Rear Facing Seats (Tesla Model S) - No Longer Available

    FYI for any prospective buyers - Rear facing seats must latch to a load bearing crossmember which may not be installed in your car.
