Quartzsite?View attachment 355405
Can this be the new way we identify a malfunctioning supercharger stall??
It is painful watching so many drivers continue to try to use the one that’s not working, and sometimes losing their place in line....

I still wouldn't trust that. 90% of the time for me ppl that tell me it doesn't work it has for me. Reason they say it doesn't work..... They push button on Supercharger end and they're car's plug door doesn't open. I drive in, "manually" open mine, and plug in. No charge rate issue.
I really am surprised we don't see more vandalism. I think part of the saving grace is fear.... they know there's electricity there and with the size of that "hose", it must be a lot, so don't eff with it. The worst I've seen was a 4x4 truck pulling in to a spot and backing over the pedestal making it tilt backwards.Being somewhat of a cynic, once this signification method becomes generally accepted and well-known, I can see some malicious individuals going to remote Supercharger locations and coiling up the cables at every stall just to confuse and inconvenience Tesla drivers because, you know, they own Teslas.
There was a line 7 deep at Quartzsite? Or where were you exactly?I was there yesterday. 7 cars waiting in line. I saw this stall and talking to all the other drivers waiting everyone said it's broken. Finally I asked 'has anyone actually tried it?'. ...silence... So I tried it and guess what, it worked just fine!
It was frustrating as the line had built up and could have been shorter had people been using that stall earlier.

Man, to me, that is the most surprising supercharger backup from the holiday weekend. I guess unlike the superchargers in SoCal and the Phoenix area, Quartzsite is a must stop for the I-10 route so that explains it to some extent.
Just a few months ago, I remember being surprised that Kingman was full (6/6 with no one waiting).
Blythe is basically right next to Quartzsite though.Yes Quartzsite is a must stop. If that ever goes down, the route between LA and Phoenix is not doable in with most Teslas. I hope they will add one more site on the i10. Blyth would be good!

There is very little in the way of civilization on that stretch of highway. Maybe they can cut a deal with the people who own the Chevron at the top of Chiriaco Summit. But who knows if the electrical supply is good enough for a supercharger up there and even that location is not that far from Indio.
Yes, but systemically it wouldn't become an issue: drivers not finding chargers indicated as working would end up trying the chargers indicated as not-working and find them working. The effectiveness would be so low, that the idea wouldn't spread, and not enough vandals would know of this to make it stick.Being somewhat of a cynic, once this signification method becomes generally accepted and well-known, I can see some malicious individuals going to remote Supercharger locations and coiling up the cables at every stall just to confuse and inconvenience Tesla drivers because, you know, they own Teslas.
