I've tried to schedule a battery swap and they were usually busy. But the real issue is that you have to follow a schedule. I drive from the East Bay and work in LA and sometimes might have to stay an extra day or come home early. If that happens, they don't always have space for me to swap on...

Another wait for a Dublin Supercharger on Sunday. 15-20 minutes. On my way up from Harris Ranch. I think locals fill this spot since Service is closed on Sunday. Trading in my 85 for a 90D soon & might skip the Dublin stop. Tesla should have a self park & charge cue program so that drivers don't...

This is great news. Haven't been on the TMC site for a while. Last time in Temecula I had to use the slow chargers at the civic center in order to get back to LA from my job. This takes some pressure off. BTW just pulled the trigger on trading in my 85 for a 90D!!!

I've been driving the 5 from Berkeley to LA & back every month for work for years. I just want to get there and have breakfast on the way while charging. It looks like it's 30 minutes longer to go the 99 even though it's only 22 miles more and has the extra lane. Is this a speed limit issue? Of...

Here's a couple pix from today. 1/2/16. No progress from 12/29 that i can see.

So how did you do that? I can't find the apps after the download. My car is older (2.5 years) but I can't imagine that makes a difference.

Updated the other day and did not get the Clock or the Trip App? Am I missing how to engage these? They don't show up in my App window either. BTW I liked the clock and temp in the driving display since in many light conditions, I can't read it on the console.

Dublin CA SCs went live today.

Fantastic, will hit it tomorrow on my way back from Harris Ranch. Finally, a safety net!!!!! :rolleyes:

Ready to Plug Great, just in time for my next trip to LA. Will hit it on the way back from Harris Ranch the 16th or 17th. ByeBye headwind worries over the pass.

I discussed my need for the Dublin SC with the staff there since I often run low getting up to Berkeley from Harris Ranch. They told me that within a year, there will be 2 SCs on the 5 north of Harris Ranch to fill in the gap. Not sure if this is the best place to post this so if someone wants...

Well, I was there today and got a different story. They said 4-6 weeks from today due to PG&E. I was sad because I hoped for it before my next LA trip in late Sept. Maybe we'll get lucky. Sorry, can't seem to get these pix to rotate properly.:scared: I also discussed my need for the Dublin SC...

I may be driving by this weekend and if so, will stop to see what's up.

The TMC Progress chart says "Construction apparently complete 8/19/2015" (Supercharger Progress - Tesla Motors Club - Enthusiasts & Owners Forum) but nobody in this discussion indicates that that is the case. Also, the Tesla site shows no indication either. Any projection on when this will open...

I've got to pass by the 580/680 intersection on my trip to LA and back soon. I'll take some pix. I was at the San Rafael service center today and they were talking about Dublin being open in several weeks, not several months. Seems hard to believe but maybe they fast tracked this location. Will...

Someone requested I post these in native resolution. They aren't very good.

HR expansion Was at HR a couple weeks ago and talked to Battery folks. I was told they were putting 7 new chargers in and 4 temps will then come out.

Not grand but something.

Dublin would be a great spot. I still have some trepidation abut my runs from Harris Ranch to North Berkeley. Very heavy head winds at times and lots of elevation gain. Have had to stop twice at Walnut Creek store for a quickie extra 15 miles to get home. Dublin superchargers would take all...

I saw them there Saturday also. Took a couple pix as they left but none up close. Is it cool to post them? Just some shots from the back. Didn't want to incur any wrath. It's an imposing rear end. Loved the custom car cover. It even seals the car side plug from rain (if we ever get any more)...

This Nav update is stupid to the extreme in Berkeley, CA. It's now telling me to drive down minor streets that have stop signs almost every block and cross major streets where there is no traffic light. What the heck did they do to create this monster? If I followed the Nav directions, a 15...

Indio took a very long time to come online as well. The transformer was very late in coming. In that case the utility company guy claimed it was not their fault. So CJ is not unique. I think it may be transformer availability and the pace of the city/county government. - - - Updated - - - BTW...

For what it's worth, I'm adding my experience: My Apple Airport Extreme is in my home office and S is in the garage 25 feet away. That's as the crow flies which passes through 2 walls and some kitchen appliances. My laptop had no problem with signal in the garage so I knew it was not a dead...

Excellent news and photos. This is real progress. Happy Happy Joy Joy.

If they drag this out like Indio it will be a drag. If they hit the 10/4 date then Hurrah. I want this link in place when we pop down to Tucson from the SF Bay area in a couple of months.

How did you guys get email? Tesla has both my addresses and I got nada? But if this is real I am so happy. I can't believe they let this last connector languish for so long.

Remember when it was to be up and running "by end of 2013". It's getting old. Than goodness for Southwest Airlines. That's what I'm doing again next week.

Indeed, thanks. I did that after posting, thinking it was a logical thing to do, and as you said, Tesla responded in a matter of hours. I'm 550 of 6000 and they also said they have no news more current than the May email update. I'm not sure I can part with my cardboard box, bandaid box (perfect...

How did you find out what number you are? I received my June announcement but there is no sign of where I am on the list. Thanks.

Hadn't thought about heat pump. Good consideration. I'd consider 85-90 degrees a cool interior while charging.

SC Canopy Have a HeatShield and it works great but I'm worried about what happens in my trunk(s). How much does the charging slow down if you're using AC at the SC? Has anybody done that calc?

I wonder if they will put up a shade like at Tejon Ranch. It's a huge relief in the desert sun. Are there shades on the AZ chargers? I'm guessing everyone here wants to get to PHX at least.

Great! Finally!! This was an important link to PHX from LA. Wish it had gone in months ago. Hope there are no more delays.

The Universal City, CA Hilton put in a Nema 14-50 outlet specifically for the Model S. See Plugshare.com. I've used it. 40 amps. - - - Updated - - - And they are putting 2 Chargepoint J1772 chargers as well. Don't know if it's level 2 or 3. The exec I spoke with said Hilton is committed to...

For your next trip to LA, the Hilton Universal City has a Nema 14-50 40 amp outlet in the Valet Parking area. I get about 23mph when plugged in there.
