    Supercharger - Westminster, CA (LIVE 22 Dec 2018, 24 Urban stalls)

    I drove near the SC with my Volt yesterday and was going to find the Volta chargers at the mall since there were 4. Imagine my surprise when I found a White Model 3 there instead of "paying" for charging at the SuperCharger. It was bound to happen with that level of increase, but I support...

    Supercharger - Huntington Beach (likely cancelled)

    Great update. I don't mind if the chargers are on the top floor....will be a pain to get up there....I'm sure a bunch of the Costco shoppers going to FV will be trying to go here.......just shifting the pain probably. There really isn't a great location for the chargers besides the structures...

    Supercharger - Westminster, CA (LIVE 22 Dec 2018, 24 Urban stalls)

    :) At least there is space for a queue to form, parking spaces nearby to watch the spots from and no Costco. This should limit people from that bad behavior like in FV. The one entry point was always a pain point and people eating at the nearby Souplantation always parked in the unmarked spots...

    Supercharger - Huntington Beach (likely cancelled)

    I was at Bella Terra this weekend and there were no obvious signs of construction or Tesla Boxes out with the superchargers inside. Will def be after the new year before this one gets opened. At least Westminster is now open so you have someplace decently close to charge.

    Supercharger - Westminster, CA (LIVE 22 Dec 2018, 24 Urban stalls)

    Having charged here a couple of times now the site is kind of awkward. I love the 6 spots where you back in, but the pull in spots seemed to be narrow for most people to be comfortable with the turn. Saw a few people ride over the curb while trying to line up to pull in head first. This is a...

    Supercharger - Westminster, CA (LIVE 22 Dec 2018, 24 Urban stalls)

    I drove by on Sunday as well and not much additional progress. Super excited about this supercharger opening up.

    Supercharger - Westminster, CA (LIVE 22 Dec 2018, 24 Urban stalls)

    Awesome find! Thanks for calling them and finding out. I traverse the 405 from Costa Mesa to Long Beach so any stations along the way are great to have. I have a 10 mile "radius" of stations from me (Redondo, Hawthorne, Downey, Downey2) which means I have to go out of my way to go there. FV is...

    Electrify America charging station, 440 N. Euclid St, Anaheim

    I was just at the Fountain Valley, CA supercharger and there was a sign pointing to "New Superchargers soon!" coming to Anaheim and Westminster. I really hope they can bring them to us as FV was already bad as is. I also hope they are Urban Superchargers instead as well........I really enjoy...

    72 kW urban chargers vs 120 kW chargers

    I love the 72kW superchargers. I found that the ones in Downey CA are better for me than the paired V1 supercharging. It definitely makes more sense in "urban" areas to use them for space considerations but also that it is a "predictable" experience for the end user since we have no way to get...

    Supercharger - Oxnard, CA (EXPANDED Jun 2018, now 20 total)

    Probably not, we visited it on Saturday but I did not notice any stations down. The SuperCharger was full by the time we left. So its possible it is still down since you have a more recent data point.

    Supercharger - Buttonwillow, CA (10 V2 stalls)

    I stopped by this supercharger on my way back home from San Simeon and it wasn't a bad experience at 11 PM, just not that safe feeling. I think Bakersfield felt a bit better due to the gas station + IHOP. Starbucks had just closed so no bathroom break that late unless you crossed the street to...

    Supercharger - Oxnard, CA (EXPANDED Jun 2018, now 20 total)

    I visited this SC and it seemed that all chargers were working perfectly. This place gets really busy after 11 AM. Not too fond of the location only because it seems that people drive too fast and don't recognize that you are going to back into a space. Similar to Downey location.

    Supercharger - Buena Park, CA (removed from car nav 31 Aug 2018 but still operational, 8 V2 stalls)

    Wow....I had not noticed this....but I rarely cared to go to that Service Center or the Supercharger. They should have just left it on plugshare and marked it as restricted. That generally discourages people from trying things because there is available information about the location. Removing...

    Supercharger - Redondo Beach (LIVE 20 Jan 2015, 8 stalls)

    Before I never really saw this supercharger with a line. I think people avoided it but when Hawthorne was temp closed it was a mad house. If I see people waiting, I know one of the chargers is broken. Most owners will try at least once. I think calling Tesla support and have them mark the stalls...

    Supercharger - Hawthorne, CA - Tesla Design Center (CLOSED TO PUBLIC 19 Jul 2021, 8 V2 + 2 V3 stalls)

    This location is showing back as opened. I guess if they do more sales blitzes it could close again. Still a busy location as always.

    Supercharger - Downey, CA - Lakewood Boulevard (LIVE 25 May 2018, 12 Urban stalls)

    The other Downey location is better located in terms of people parking (because its so far from the mall entrance doors). The reason that this SC gets filled up is because people flock to the Golden Corral and its sooooo busy. I remember charging on a weekend and people just stare at you because...

    Supercharger - Carlsbad, CA (7710 El Camino Real, LIVE 27 Sep 2018, 26 urban stalls)

    I am hoping for that since I live in Long Beach, but work in the OC. The HB location at Bella Terra will be a nice location off the freeway, but busy. I think it will get ICEd without enforcement....esp next to a Costco (think Fountain Valley SC). I think a Long Beach SC will be located closer...

    Supercharger - Carlsbad, CA (7710 El Camino Real, LIVE 27 Sep 2018, 26 urban stalls)

    I agree with that. However, given that they are the Urban superchargers it will also change the dynamics of where people charge. I've noticed that I've given up on busier 120kW chargers and favor the urban ones. If they are full or not, you get the same charge level. Whereas Fountain Valley CA...

    Supercharger - Downey CA - Stonewood Street (LIVE 28 Jun 2018, 12 Urban stalls)

    Been to this location a few times. A little while to get there from Long Beach but its not too bad to get there. At least its far away from the mall so you won't get ICEd like at the other Downey location......getting stares from the Golden Corral crowd was a bit rough. Really enjoying the...
