I've had two leases in strip malls. One gave me a specific number of parking spaces (not that it made any difference -- customers will park where they want) and the other did not. The more square footage you lease and the more financially solid your business is (e.g. you're going to be able to...

Stopped by on the way home from dinner in Woodland. Progress!

We helped a family member pick up a Model Y at the end of June and the showroom was open, but only 5 people at a time could go in and they were limiting that to people picking up cars. Bathrooms weren't open to the public though. Which was not fun because it took 3 hours to get the car. :(

Happened to be in Woodland for the first time in a while and decided to cruise around Woodland Gateway to see if there was any sign of anything. Surprised I didn't get security called on me, given that I was driving behind Target and Costco. :) Anyway, no signs of even marking anything that I...

I was there at 8 a.m. and it wasn't showing up in the car. I thought about stopping to check if operational but I was really craving Pushkin's. ;-)

Worst case -- there's quite a few free J1772s in Woodland and the Sacramento (Natomas) SC is only 16 miles away. I expect Woodland will only see delays from PG&E. The city itself is known to be much friendlier to projects than surrounding towns. Still, be nice if they'd break ground soon...

As long as you were below 40% SOC you should have seen noticeably higher speeds. Looks like convergence is around 50% SOC.

Oh, nice! Thanks for the info.

Didn't Tesla say they aren't planning on upgrading any existing chargers to V3?

A total valuation of $50K doesn't match with 18-25 charging stations. I doubt 18-25 describes the number of stations. (Especially because "station" is singular)

We got freebies at Williams and Red Bluff right before Christmas.

It seems like you're talking about one specific supercharger? Maybe even this one? I'm talking about quite a few others. An example of one of the ones I'm talking about (a supercharger on Tesla's map that says "Target opening in 2019" but has not broken ground is Woodland, CA. It's been on the...

Telsa's map has "target opening 2019" for superchargers that haven't even broken ground yet. Don't take that wording as any kind of guarantee.

Driving from Olympia down to Portland yesterday, and five of the eight car carriers I saw heading north on I5 were full of Model 3s. :)

I drove through there on Dec 18th and didn't see anything. Folsom isn't known for fast projects, so I think this one will be slow.

Definitely need something so that Grants Pass isn't a bottle neck. Roseburg and Medford would fill in nicely. But I'm getting off topic here.

Yes, that was all originally Tesla equipment. One of the 4 chargers is still the RAV IV EV paddle style -- one of the last left in the state. First public Tesla charging station in Woodland, CA Tesla doesn't maintain it, though. The local EV group got a grant to fix them recently, but when they...

I thought I had another post with a few more, but here's everything since Ukiah, along with first visit date: 17. Folsom, CA (Iron Point Rd) 7/22/2019 18. Corte Madera, CA 8/23/2019 19. Vallejo, CA 8/23/2019 20. Sacramento, CA (Arden Way) 9/26/2019 21. Fairfield, CA 10/19/2019 22. Williams, CA...

I charged there on Saturday. Didn't see V3 speeds, but I wasn't down very far. Mostly stopped to give the dog a quick walk. About half the stalls were being used when I got there, by the time I walked the dog around the block all the stalls were used (thankfully no one waiting). As I zoomed...

The Natomas charger isn't hypothetical -- it was the first one in Sacramento. Sacramento, CA Supercharger | Tesla

Specs are impressive, especially for the price. I'm not sure I could get past the looks though.

Dang, wish I'd seen this thread earlier. I had breakfast across the street yesterday at Pushkins.

Originally planned to buy it without EAP -- I just wanted an EV with way better range and charging network than my 2014 Leaf. But as the time drew closer, I realized my commute would improve a lot with TACC, so I decided to get the full monty. So glad I did.

Yeah, that's the lot where Capital Nursery used to be. (Side note: that's been gone since 2012 and I'm kind of surprised the new Raley's hasn't been built yet.) Both convenient and inconvenient to I-5 and Hwy 99 -- close on the map, but the streets to get there are slow and can be almost...

Just did an online search of Placer County permits for Lincoln and didn't find anything for Tesla...

When a SC gets to the "now it's up to PG&E" state, it could be a while. Be patient.

Didn't see Folsom mentioned - Iron Point and Palladio are 4.4 miles apart, at opposite ends of Iron Point Road.

Apology accepted, but don't let it happen again.

This forum needs a "groan" response.

The sad thing is I saw some of the construction last time I stopped in Placerville, but I was more focused on getting out of the McD's lot in one piece and didn't snoop.

I have a black metallic one and a white one. I wonder if I can charge both at once. ;)

Yolo County would only be for permits issued outside of the Woodland City limits. (And probably outside of West Sac as well). City of Woodland has their own site and department, but the permits aren't online, so a phone call or stop would be needed. I haven't dealt with their building department...

Nice! Not only will non-Teslas have some place to charge, but now I can still hope Woodland gets a better location for Superchargers. :)

Photos were taken. Looks odd for Tesla to me, but I really have no idea. I would have thought an Electrify America site would be closer to the WalMart Market. Probably worth a call to the Woodland Building permits, but I'm super busy for the next few weeks so I'm not volunteering. I had to...

It was number 3 on my list of likely places in Woodland. Expect it to get ICEd during the county fair, but otherwise should be good, as the pictures I saw showed it in a corner of the parking lot that rarely has cars.

Saw pictures this morning of pedestals going in at County Fair Mall by JC Penny's. Will try to investigate personally tomorrow. Just based on the location, I expect those would be urban. Way too inconvenient from I-5 (or even 113)

Yesterday the map was showing "reduced service" again, and even said "temporarily closed". I drove over on my way home from work and didn't see anything unusual. A 3 was plugged in, so I tried charging and had no problems. No idea why the map is showing that.

I have this laminated and placed on the center console for the valet: Dropbox - valet instructions.pdf - Simplify your life Even if the guy who parks the car knows how to drive it, there's no assurance the guy who fetches it will know. And if they claim they know and they don't, the car can...

I have EV + TOD through SMUD, and shifting usage hasn't been an issue. I turn the dishwasher on before going to bed, my washer has a timed start feature so I can have a load finish right when I get up in the morning. I save the oven for weekends, and do more quick dinners during the week. My EV...

If you scroll up, you'll see "Address: 380 Coddingtown Ctr, Santa Rosa, CA 95401"

Okay, here's mine. (Model 3, took delivery April 2018) Truckee, CA (Brockway Road) Seaside, CA Cupertino, CA Petaluma, CA Folsom, CA (Palladio) Vacaville, CA Truckee, CA (Donner Pass) Corning, CA Mount Shasta, CA (111 Morgan Way) Mount Shasta, CA (134 Morgan Way) Klamath Falls, OR Springfield...

So much this. Several of my women passengers asked about the sales process, and the universal comment was "that alone makes me think Tesla is the car for me".

I did a ride-n-drive EVent (people got to ride in my car -- other EV mfgs had cars people could test drive), and more than half of my "serious" passengers (thinking about an EV in the near future as opposed to "I have some time to kill and I can tell my friends I was in a Tesla") were women...

This one's going to be super-helpful. Corning gets slammed on holiday weekends.

I was at the Whole Foods at lunch and the location Tony Pham posted pictures of is definitely a new building. Steel framing is up and matches the design of the existing stores. No new chargers going in there as far as I can tell.

Looking good today.

The Model 3 was going to be for my husband, and he bought a used Leaf to tide him over until it was ready. I started stealing the Leaf every chance I got and became convinced I needed to ditch my ICE-UV for an EV. I started making a list of all the EVs available at the time, pros and cons, and...

I agree with Yombad -- any expansion at that site would go in one of the parking structures. That real estate outside the structure is too valuable for anything except retail.

Didn't happen in my Model 3 yesterday, so must be fixed. In fact, I had enough to get to my destination, but the nav doesn't like arriving with just 5% if it doesn' t have to so it routed me through this charger.

Glad someone else noted this. I just got my tires rotated at 17k miles, and have 6/32" left on my 18" -- my husband is making snide remarks about how I need to slow down a bit. Definitely going to show him this. :p
