Please update to 20 stalls, and 5 stalls. Transformer pad is not yet placed, so its going to be a while, but they will have Tesla portion of project wrapped up in 2-3 weeks.

3pm 6/30/2020, station is still not operating.

I doubt the retailers had any involvement in the site installation, but the property owners certainly did. As to transformer sizes. At least one site has 16 stalls at 150 kw max each, no batteries, a 1.5 MW transformer, which they are likely running somewhat above capacity, say perhaps 1.6 to...

Transformer going in today, and it’s big! Look at the crane.. Transformer back has a sticker saying it weighs 12,436 pounds, or a bit over 5640 kilograms.. Don’t touch the high voltage terminals after its installed...

Transformer was placed today by 11:30 am, secondary cables placed, but not hooked up, no primary cables anywhere to be seen, and they will complete secondary hookup before energizing anything, Crew had another transformer on the truck, and traffic control guy said it was for the nearby San...

I’ll stop by sometime soon, but the East Palo Alto site had its 1.5 mw transformer placed, and there was another transformer on the delivery truck. Crew said they were installing that transformer today as well, and traffic control guy said it was this location, but they were unsure. Transformer...

There were two Workmen there today with some equipment covers off, but would not indicate when it might be open. Looks like wheelstops to be installed, maybe some control cables but all the big equipment is in place

Plenty of reasons to leave it as is... most of the cost is trenching and installing the conduits / getting the power installed. Removing that is not cost effective if there is any possibility of finishing the site in the future. When tesla vacates the site, then he landlord and Tesla get to...

Transformer for the level 2 chargers is the size of a small bar fridge, and was placed last month. Transformer for the site is a PG&E action item and they are backed up.

Mostly an issue of incomplete software control over the system. There is a marketing trade off between configuration capability, consumer education, and how many menus and option switches can exist in a mobile app. Maybe the crew here can hack the API, and achieve this... Ideally, I would like...

For reference the tesla charge stations are directly above the entrance driveway from Valco Parkway. Equipment is slightly visible in full size photo. I The shorter I beams are for the big white circuit breaker panel, and the larger pair is for the charger cabinets. The charge...

Last years true up bill was $235 after paying the minimum meter fee. This year I’m concerned about powerwall sucking up Solar energy during part peak and peak, and taking its daily 1.x kWh parasitic recharge losses from solar generation. As to the 10% value, in September that seemed to balance...

The house auto islands off grid when power goes out. Then there is say 20-25 kWh in the battery and 4-35kwh of daily solar production depending upon time of year and daily weather, a nasty dark rainy day is 4 kwh, and cloudless summer solstice is 35 kWh. As per the current software and...

This site shows 4th most active over 24 hours in the world, as per graphic in tesla Design center. In fact, having more activity than Fremont factory location. Eventually Tesla will open more sites in Orange County, but the real estate is very expensive, thus parking spaces are at a...

Target over thanksgiving holiday weekend is going to be busy. That site has lots of parking while the overall center remains partially under construction. Stalls open up and there are tesla cars waiting to charge, ICE cars will probably look elsewhere...

That is correct, powerwall gets 3 new exterior electrical panels 1) backup power breaker box, wired in parallel with backed up loads 2) new backup load center —where all your existing loads are relocated to 3) tesla powerwall brain box, which has a mechanical relay to isolate the home from the...

This is a pair of AC powerwalls, and I’m getting my data from the tesla mobile app. Two powerwalls are configured for 90% reserve in case of power outage, and the software appears to make every effort to flatline the utility energy draw (+/- 0.1 kw read on Utility meter) from the moment the...

Rumor has it a 40 stall site will get built within a mile from or so of this location. If I had to guess, construction might start early next year. Assuming a 40 stall site was full, the average wait time for the next space should be 1-2 minutes. Anyone ever consider the labor cost for Tesla...

(Moderator note: this post was merged with the existing thread about the Sunnyvale Supercharger) Didn't find a thread on this site, which is very well along the way for construction. 10 stalls are complete, electrical is ready. Looks like the PG&E transformer and a pair of Tesla Powerpacks have...

had a pair of powerwalls installed a month ago, anybody notice what looks like 500watts per day per powerwall vampire draw? (1.01 to 1.05 kWh per day powerwall loss) Given a Solar system that generates 20-25 kWh per day, this is a large parasitic loss. Anyone else hearing powerwall fan noise...

As of last Friday, Site is now open with 16 stalls, wait times should be minimal to much shorter. SCE UPGRADED THE TRANSFORMER, October 21, so there is more power. Onthe way to 10,000 supercharger stalls.

I believe the construction photos from page 3 of this discussion show the transformer installation at the same time as the Tesla station construction. Perhaps the Southern California Edison documents on electrical service requirements, compared with these photos can shed some light on future...

We all agree that more stalls here would be good... As would more power per stall when all stalls are in use.... Perhaps Tesla could upgrade the site? Expand the transformer, upgrade the charging cabinets (which are the limiting factor)...

Now this is just wrong: Tesla High Power Wall Charger, plugged into a Fiat 500e at Tesla Motors HQ last week, yes, somebody figured out how to put a native J1772 connector on the Tesla High Power Wall Charger... In the background are about 40 or 50 high powered wall chargers in a line, with...

The Model X cooling system would intuitively be larger than the 5.5 kw capacity of the Model S. Tesla has known for a long time that the Model S rear kids seats overheat the kids in the sun as there is no real air back there. Bigger vehicle, more occupants, more interior space, bigger battery...

Retail Hours, Fountain Valley Shopping Center, as per YELP Looks like something is open most days from 5:00 am til 11:00 pm Anyone care to post a few more site photos? Taco Bell Mon6:00 am - 11:00 pmTue6:00 am - 11:00 pmWed6:00 am - 11:00 pmThu6:00 am - 11:00 pm Fri6:00 am - 11:00 pmSat7:00 am...

Trash cans have been ordered for the site. Can anyone confirm if Costco is doing a better job retrieving their shopping carts? Also, if you know anyone who wants to buy a Tesla, and believe the site sponsor deserves a thank you, here is the my link for the $1000 off. Free Supercharger Miles...

Dennis, Thank you for cleaning up the shopping carts. I am looking to get some trash cans installed nearby, and at some considerable monthly expense, have instructed the street sweepers to be on site every night, as opposed to 3x/week as is needed for the rest of the center, this should help...

Full on the first weekend open? LOL, I was joking with them that would happen. Guess this is a good spot to drop by for lunch/dinner at Souplantation, Taco Bell, Starbucks, McDonalds, etc. Anybody getting something for their 4 legged friends at the Petsmart? As to why there are 8 stalls as...

Liquid Cooled charging cables are in very busy 12 stall Mountain View, CA site only. This gives very convenient access to development, service, engineering, and factory teams. A very plausible explanation is that they want to determine a maintenance schedule, reliability, and long term...

Site owner wishes to thank everyone who posted to the forum ;-) It has been a pleasure to see everyone's positive reviews on the site during construction, and how exited everyone is. The photos are very welcome, please keep them coming. About a year ago, as property owner, I wrote to...
