The El Camino one makes more sense. Draw people away from the Whole Foods one, and it is close to field works and other shopping and eating places. The Norfolk one allivietes the target supercharger, but wait times there are not as bad. Not a lot of shopping and food options there unless you...

I have seen them close to high traffic areas. Vacaville comes to mind. I think it is less so the secluded parts of teh parking lot, and more so the unused parts of the parking lot. So, if it is a big lot, with no behind teh building or out of the way parking, then the area closest to the...

@AxlxA Walking distance from the charger is a cute little downtown- about a block long. There are some wineries not far from there on Ridge road. I think there is a casino nearby? Further up 88 there is a snow park, and then of course Kirkwood if you like winter activities. Hope valley is...

Nice! So that is not my wife's Model X. She was close to Manteca, and she was going to stop, but then she finally saw that 1 of 8 chargers were in use. We just wanted some kind of confirmation people were using them. So I bet that the 1 out of 8 was this guy. So, she zoomed past Manteca...

She is en route now. I told her to go to Manteca. The nav now says 8 of 8 in use, which doesnt seem plausible. But I told her to stop on the way and check it out. I drove by last night, but didnt even know it existed!

It's on my nav. But said 0 of 8 in use... which means that either no one is there, or they arent quite operational yet. Would love to know if anyone has used one so I can recommend my wife stop there. Can't believe this just popped up out of blue. I was waiting for Stockton to get turned...

Has anyone tested this yet? My wife is leaving in a few hours to meet me up in Kirkwood.

woohoo!!

FYI, Kettleman is dual v3 and v2. So, this might be the same. If I had my choice, I'd also thrown in some slower chargers as well (urban?) that would allow for not being rushed through lunch/dinner.

I truly have an embarrassment of riches as far as how many superchargers I have around me.

Always glad to see more chargers, esp v3, and in time I'm sure this will be needed. However, I have been to the other Placerville charger many, many times on the way to Tahoe, and it is never even half full and always get a high unshared charge rate.

"In November 2014, the District completed the Out Valley Transmission Line Project connecting the Kirkwood Valley to the national grid via a PG&E substation located at Salt Springs Reservoir." So, they used to be powered by diesel, but now that generator is just a back up. However, Kirkwood...

There will obviously be a change in service when they go from selling luxury only to the everyman's car, and that will disappoint many. Sorry you feel this way, and sorry you had some bad experiences. We have two cars, and the service has been great. Was it 2012 great? Probably not. But...

You battery is a 90, so Im pretty sure it is not a v3. probably a V2. Dual motor, non performance are my favorites. All Teslas are fast enough for me. The Dual motor is more efficient than single motor or performance, and has the best range. And it is way better in the snow. The owner...

Looking forward to trying that Indian place!

Awesome!

So, you have a three hour commute one way. Where do you usually eat? So, if you get the 400 mile range S, or 350 mile X, either would work. I have both an S and an X, and if you really love an SUV, I would highly reconsider an X. I love it. But in either case, your drive there will be...

Yes, second one coming.

We now have three new route 99 superchargers coming online between Manteca and Stockton. Anxiously waiting for them to turn one of them on! Manteca has been going on the longest and seems the most ready to go, Stockton would be the most useful for me, this one seems like it has been done the...

Very Nice!!! This one is often crowded.

The New Manteca supercharger recently got cabinets, so maybe we don't have much longer to wait.....

The plastic in your car also fades color, and that is normal wear and tear. But yeah, I do agree with you.

Mine did. You can see my screen shot said 25%. I started with about 8%, and it ramped up fairly quickly. The taper wasen't super fast. I don't have the exact details, but I literally ran to subway, ordered a 10 inch, spent about 10 minutes wolfing it down, and ran back and my car was ready...

Yes, that would be the plan. But there is nothing open there for breakfast! :) And I need to charge to 95% in order to get to Kirkwood.

Looks great! I'm heading up to Kirkwood Saturday morning. Any chance this might be turned on??? Let me know. I have given up hope on Stockton getting turned on this winter :(

Yeah, I get your viewpoint. 261 is not what you initially paid for. But the bottom line is if Tesla lowers the available battery range to greatly extend battery life, and company B lets you do whatever you want to the battery, then Tesla wins, and company B goes out of business (or at least...

Why is that a bad thing? You would assume they do it for the health of the battery. And they can also increase it as well. As a buyer of used Teslas, I vote they have as much control as possible, and the consumer has the least :) To a point anyways.

Kirkwood used to be on the Tesla map as coming soon. They took it down on 1/1/20.

I agree with you, I think the yellow screen is warranty. I am just saying it is borderline. Discoloration in many of the other car parts would not be warranty in my opinion, so the only reason I change my mind for screen is because this isn't typical for most screens. My point was I left the...

Here you go. Not as close to 200 as I was remembering. If I recall, It did get up to 188-ish at one point, and then I snapped a picture at 183 kwh. Again, I did get in the 180's on the way down to San Diego and on the way back, so on two separate days about 4 days away from each other...

Yes, agree Tesla should not beat around the bush. I'm not in total agreement that it would be best for Tesla to release that much information. At least at this time. And I am also not in agreement that Tesla did not at least try consumer education at first... we don't know all the back and...

The Tesla engineer said TeslaFi was partly to blame for energy use and once it was turned off it should help. I have no reason to believe this was not true, and that it did help (minimally) when it turned off. The guy isnt even saying that the battery has degraded 20-30%. He is saying that...

The v3 ones are on the hill, with the thinner cables, but assuming you know that. Also, your state of charge has to be low. But yeah, I did it twice right before thanksgiving weekend... once on teh way up and once on teh way back. I was surprised as well, so took a few photos.

My two cents is that neither case is a clear warranty case, and he fought overly hard to get Tesla to bend to his will, and sought to damage the company via online postings.. not just let customers be aware of the process as he initially posted. The yellow screen problem is cosmetic at best...

FYI, I have charged here at the v3 and was able to get close to 200 Kwh. I have a 2016 Model S. I would not be surprised if the 2020 Raven models can do better than 200 Kwh... would love to see some real world results.

Autonomy/range loss should have been expected. All cars experience efficiency loss as they get older. Regarding the cell service to update cars... 1) They have always said from teh beginning they plan to offer a paid option for data service and that you would get it free for a limited time and...

You should have seen it at 30%. The Kettleman charger gives my old Model S 190 Kw. It should give you closer to 250.

I was just complaining about why they are building this since the existing Manteca one always has plenty of empty chargers.... And wouldn't you know it, I am returning from Tahoe last night and the Manteca one was just about full. Is someone could help get my foot out of my mouth....

I got this letter. Took the first option on the letter and went to the website to try to resolve. When I got there, it said my insurance company had sent the paperwork and no more steps were needed.

Huge win for those of us going to Tahoe! Still hoping this gets finished before ski season is done and I can enjoy some v3 Speeds!

I charge to 97-98%. It is still charging as I want to leave, and the cabin is cooled/heated. I don't think there is any real damage to the battery, especially if you don't leave it fully charged just sitting there. And then I want to save time at the next stop. This is only if I am really...

I drive up to Tahoe weekly. I carry chains, only because it is required. The chains are for an older car, probably don't even fit, and I would never put them on my Model S or my Model X. Yes, I know I could get busted, but I have only been asked to show my chains I am carrying once or twice...

Like others have said, I also am hesitant to believe there is a 20k difference. But I can believe there is a 20k difference between MCU1, AP1 vs MCU2, AP2. I Have two Cars. One is AP1, MCU1. The other is AP2, MCU1. AP: If you are interested in Full self driving one day, the AP2 is a...

I know I am being optimistic, but this would be awesome to get turned on before the end of the year. I have literally been checking every week for months! This would help with my weekend commute to Tahoe. Half the time I get routed through here on my way to and from the peninsula because...

I got up to 186 kW in my 2016 post facelift Model S. Quite surprised. Did this twice, once on the way up and once on the way back. It was really awesome to get the power boost since I was making a long trip.

They opened the Stanford one. Maybe/hopefully this one is next?? I would have bet that this one opened before Stanford... and I would have lost!

I'm surprised. I often stop by the existing v2 Supercharger in Manteca on my way up to Tahoe/Kirkwood. It is never full. I am surprised they are building one so close since it seems they have enough capacity. That being said, I haven't really stopped by since last April, and Tesla sure has...

I think there is a difference on getting 100% of your rated range when driving on teh highway on a long trip, or if that range is the accumulation of driving to and from work each day for 10 miles and blasting the heater/AC each time.

My two cents... It was probably sold to the original buyer at 270. Whether it was 270 or 294, it probably doesn't make a difference. Even if it had the better Model 3 warranty of 30% degradation, this is still not even close to that. I mean it sucks, but this stuff is part of the danger of...

Wow. This must be the two closest superchargers anywhere. I know LA has two that are fairly close, but this is literally a block away.
