One month later...
I used the aforementioned Fresno SuperCharger yesterday, and I saw some new hardware installed next to and above the place where the cabinets are...looked like a dome-type camera and a (maybe motion-activated?) light pointing into the enclosure. That's what I could see from where I was standing, didn't investigate further and there might be other stuff I didn't see.
EXCELLENT! Let's hope it does something real.
As an unrelated aside, this weekend totally sucks for anybody with seasonal allergies in the Central Valley...everything's in bloom with winds around 20 mph. AH-CHOO!
Bruce.
Aha! I wondered what the hell was going on. I came down with a possibly deadly version of runny nose last night, and I'm a veritable faucet today. I just got home and dove into some antihistamines, and hope they are the old fashioned kind that work, otherwise I'll end up with lounge disease from the stuff going the wrong way. Bruce, thank you for explaining to me what the heck is going on with my body. This is even though I'm all the way over here by Silicon Valley and Monterey Bay; I presume some natural equalities. The weather just turned warm at the same time, so it makes sense it's related.
If you had an MX the BioWeapon filter would be the answer. Really knocks down the pollen.
I've been diving into that filter pretty strongly during my driving and allergies situation I got starting last night. I haven't noticed much help. But, I don't know if the contaminants are in my home, my car, or outside of the car and I just bring them with me into the car. It's kind of like taking Ibuprofen for extreme inflammation: you don't know if the inflammation got worse and the ibuprofen kept it down to the same, or if the inflammation stayed the same and the ibuprofen did nothing useful. I feel like the same thing with the Bioweapon filter. How possible is it that there are leaks in the cabin that counteract the effectiveness of the filter, or an air malfunction that makes it ineffective?
FB group reporting Barstow got hit again, wires cut at cabinet resulting in 6 stalls being down & people waiting in line.
What happened to security at this site?
Security is supposed to help catch these people (whether observe and report or tackle and stop).
I was at the Barstow charger on Wednesday am. There was a guard and a person installing new pedestals. The pedestals were a new integrated design (power cabinet and charger together at each station). Also went to Mojave, Buttonwillow, Harris Ranch, Gustine, Roseville, Corning, Mt. Shasta, Grants Pass(OR), Springfield(OR), and Woodburn. Almost all in CA had security guards. Great trip home from So Cal.
Bolded: These must be the charging paradigm shift I was expecting; just a sort of incremental improvement, by the sounds of it (but doesn't necessarily rule out more shifts). I wonder what their new features are. I especially wonder if one of the new features is better security. They could have the systems built in such a way it is difficult to get out anything that is salable on the black market. I wish it were legal to design in some Darwin Award features, as well, but the Collectivists hate that.
Your list of SC's visited: awesome, and good Tesla has those security guards, hopefully helping, but I wonder at what cost.
