Y’all waiting for the credit to come back do know that Tesla would immediately raise their prices to claw back 80% of it, right? Each time the credit was phased out, Tesla lowered their prices to compensate most of the difference. The EV credit is ultimately an incentive for EV manufacturers...

FYI, the permit application has been updated with the actual location, in the parking lot at the west corner of Truxtun and Roosevelt. There are existing Chargepoint chargers there. Still no permit issued though, and no update on the type or number of chargers.

Permit issued 9/8/2020, keep those eyes open for signs of construction!

Yay happy to have found my third SD supercharger :-D. This one was the trickiest yet. It has happened with previous permits (e.g. the Del Mar Heights permit) that the initial submission has the wrong geo location in the DSD system, and defaults to the middle of downtown. Sometimes it also an...

I found this on scoutred: Project: Project Details | Open DSD PENINSULA: Building and Electrical permits for site improvements at an existing parking lot. Work to include: Demo portion of landscaping, new charge posts, restripe parking and relocate lighting fixture. Base Zone CR-1-1, Geo Haz...

I found this on scoutred: Project: Project Details | Open DSD Electrical: Approval Details | Open DSD I don't know who to tag these days, so please help me get the attention of whomever is needed to add this to supercharge.info Coordinates point to Kohls / Vons Parking Lot (32.818922...

Riverside - Canyon Springs Pkwy, CA / Moreno Valley just opened with V3, so hopefully V3 is no longer the limiting factor...

Ironically that would mean SD currently has more superchargers within its city limits than SJ! :p

I'm not clear on this. I also arrived after midnight on a Friday night and could not find a path to the chargers, since there are closed gates. Is there a path to the chargers when the gates are closed? I've marked the two gates I saw on the map, I assume there are others. Screen Shot 2019-07-28...

I could use some help understanding the readout here. I charged the car to 100%, then drove around town until I got down to 12 miles range remaining. Despite starting with "242" rated miles, I wouldn't have even reached 200 miles. This is with an efficiency that was 319 Wh/mi, vs the 298...

Yes, I got my first squeaks from the front brakes at 75k. Rears squeaked at 98k. You can get new drilled/slotted/dipped rotors and ceramic pads on Amazon for <$200/axle and do it yourself. I made the mistake of having a place do the fronts and it cost me $1000! They got all OEM parts direct from...

Let's set a Kona (or Niro) and a 2012 Model S (with brand new 85 kWh battery pack) off at 65 MPH and see which one stops first. Guarantee it's not the Tesla. Rated (self-certified) range is slightly lower than the Tesla, but those Korean cars are far outpacing their rating (10-20%), while you'd...

@BlueShift it's open

The parking structure was pretty busy today! That may be the limiting factor -- just the time/hassle it takes to get through to the top floor. Was never more than half-full during the noon hour on a Saturday. Should be horrendous once the shops are all up and running.

Yeah it'll cost ya $5 all day on Sunday. I would recommend using one of the two destination chargers after vacating the super chargers in order to avoid the idle fees and continue charging.

Not ironic

I'm not sure it's possible for an EV to "ICE" a parking spot. In fact I'm sure it's not possible, since it has no internal combustion engine. Leafs and Volts are so narrow they could probably still fit anyway. Bad parking job nonetheless, which is all too common in the Tesla community...

Rough inspection scheduled for today

If anyone sees that the roadblock/flooding on Avenida del Rio is gone, could you update here? Until then, everyone should be aware that the Nav will take you to a closed route. Until then, take Fashion Valley Rd to Riverwalk instead, or take Friars Rd W from the North.

My Tesla app shows the Carlsbad site has reduced service (cirlce with line through it rather than lightning bolt on the red marker), but 7 stalls are in use, anyone have an idea what the situation is on the ground?

But I take it that the news isn't that they are instituting Ice Cream Fridays. He said "threw me off my game a little bit" o_O I'm guessing he heard about layoffs. It's often an unsettling event even if it doesn't impact you directly, just have to hope he's still good to go because he's been an...

Based on the wording "contractor needs to obtain meter # for release" in the inspection status it seems more like a contractor issue. BUT Your comment spurred me to check on our buddy at Tesla who handles much of the permitting throughout SoCal (at least his name is on the 2018 SD supercharger...

Better than twelve 24-120kW superchargers, ha!

I'm checking the inspection status daily, still no official "Pass" and thus there is still some sort of hold-up getting a "Meter Release #" (not familiar with this)

@BlueShift Looks like we're ready for a construction cone! (Permit issued 10 Jan 2018, also see cabinets in place on post #25)

Bottom line, it would be most welcome to see another SpC somewhere near the "Carmel Mountain, CA" pin, but by no means am I holding my breath

That seems to be the case, based on the permit description. Need someone with a drone!

I've worked in the Carmel Mountain Ranch area for years, thanks

Permit Issued 1/10/2019... Time for you locals to start periodically getting eyes on the construction site!

Maybe... Never heard of "Carmel Mountain, CA" myself. Doesn't seem to fit with the naming convention of the others.

Please ask on that page, or do a bit of reading at the start of that thread. All responses will likely be speculation.

FYI, there was an additional "Final" inspection completed on Friday, and the result was "Partial Pass", and it notes for a second time that the contractor needs to get the meter number for release: Final [Partial Pass]: Bump stops ok, contractor needs to obtain meter # for release. All else ok

Interesting, it was 11/12 full at about 8:45a, hopefully just the morning rush of people trying it out on their way to the office!

I give it "One Pinocchio"

:rolleyes: Yea the worker claiming "once you see it in the map it is live" was clearly going to be inaccurate.

The Model 3 must be smaller than I imagine because that red one fits nicely in the spot, but it was treacherously-small-looking for my S, and I would expect to edge into the oversized "handicap" spot adjacent to it.

Unnamed Fashion Valley Tesla employee, as I recall from the other thread. Possibly stated on background. I'd consider it an estimate at best.

The island of misfit and off-topic posts!

Maybe I'm missing something...what would be the advantage to having a destination charger in addition to the superchargers? There will be 24 plugs here, vs 16+2 at A Street...

The one on the driver side is tesla. see Supercharger - Carmel Mountain, CA (Black Mountain Ranch area, construction started Oct 2018)

Jeez, that's some toothless legalese garbage... "generally understood"? Something seems amiss on the enforceability front. But I agree, I wouldn't leave the car if I had to use this as the last available spot.

As with many CA regs, I can't make heads or tails of it. Can anyone provide clarity on whether this "handicap" space, as pictured above, is available for general use when all others are in-use?

Perhaps... The stall markers are white, not blue, after all...

Looks like only one of the 12 requires you to park in a handicap spot!

Warning: Irresponsible FUD ahead How many of these stalls will regularly be occupied by: 1.) Tesla Test Drive Cars 2.) Valet parking (I know it's a bit of a jog for the valet, but seems like a handy way for them to "juice" their tips by providing this extra benefit)

I think the consensus is that the station discussed in this thread is the one you cite. Just as the "Del Mar" one is likely the one that's actually in the city of san diego on Del Mar Heights Rd. Before the QC station opened (and years before the Downtown station even had a "future" pin on...

Is there any permit or info to support this?
