While you're waiting, perhaps try this "VETG Charging Parking Only" SuperCharger behind the building, if you're part of Vehicle Engineering Test Group:
Location in Google is 37.479799, -121.930829.
Fair warning: while taking photo, I stepped on one big cockroach, crushed a mosquito that landed on me, then crushed another miniature cockroach that landed on my arm.
Also curious: this nearly 50 foot long connector from that SuperCharger:
Disconnect label:

Ok, so this IS the same location as the old Fremont II that had no movement forever and Blueshift finally took off supercharge.info.
So, @BlueShift - what prompted you to put it back on the map and return it to it's former "construction" glory?

Hmmm... looks like a prototype gen2 Supercharger to compete with the 800v Porsche charger 
Porsche installs first ultra-fast 350 kW EV charging station

KW = Amp x Volt / 1000
I get 600 * 200 / 1000 = 120
What am I missing?
I don't know where you got the figures above, but the actual formula to calculate the input power of a Supercharger cabinet is 192A * 480V * sqrt(3) = 159,626 VA which is approximately 160kW assuming unity power factor.
Formula came from the great google machine. What I'm reading from the images in post #237 is 600 DC Amps and 200 volts...
The rating of the disconnect switch at 600V 200A is not meaningful. Besides, it's 3 phase, so the max it can pass is at least sqrt(3)=1.73X what you calculated.

DuckDuckGo found this: Re: Why is the Square root of Three a factor in 3 phase power calculations?
I'd like the ability to proofread it. I am way too busy with other stuff right now.

I have learned from a Tesla Owner Advisor at the San Francisco store that the new Fremont Delivery Center is located at 47623 Fremont Road (deliveries are no longer being done at the factory). There has been some discussion in this thread as to whether or not the location at 47400 Kato Road is a delivery center or not. While it may become one for the Model 3 once production ramps up, as near as I can tell it currently is not a delivery center.
I am starting a new thread in the California forum for the new Fremont Delivery Center at 47623 Fremont Road so it can be discussed separately from the location that this thread is about. See New Fremont Delivery Center at 47623 Fremont Blvd

Can the discussion of Model 3s, dual-motor and otherwise, go to the Model 3 forum? This thread is for discussion of a possible Supercharger.
Thanks,
Bruce.

Thanks Bruce, I've done that.
This thread is for discussion of the unfinished Supercharger stalls at the 47400 Kato Road, Fremont, address. Meaning these...

Huh? It's right off 880 and also a small diversion for any long-distance route using 680. Distance from the freeway may be a bit larger than the factory, but likely when this location is online the factory supercharger will close to the public.

Go a little easy on Money. He does a very credible job in outlining distances from Supercharger sites. He volunteers this information for our benefit. He is also from Maine. He might not be all that familiar with every nuanced situation across these United States from his perch in the northeast.
Besides, he may be working off a map that was printed before 1984. In 1984 the Nimitz Freeway was added to the Interstate Highway System. What had been California 17 from Santa Cruz to Oakland from the 30s was truncated at the Interstate 280 junction and was renumbered Interstate 880 from I-280 north to Oakland.
I've had multiple people commenting on this. I plan to do different things for future posts:
- I'll write "Along Primary Interstates" which are the only ones I've been listing. Those are the ones that are truly across the country, which is where my focus lies.
- I'll write "Along US Numbered Highways"
- I might add "Along Auxiliary Interstates:". Auxiliary Interstates are (usually) intrastate urban spurs, connectors and loops and in most cases are pretty short. So I've simply ignored them.
"Along" is because I'm interested in how well Tesla is covering the whole of the USA to enable long-distance travel.and for that I ignore Superchargers that require a large diversion.
Since they generally connect to the longer interstates I think it's worth mentioning them.
Sorry if I came off a bit abrupt. California is a bit of an oddball in that we have more long-distance 3-digit interstate routes (and state routes) that are important for regional and interregional travel than most states. The state also has a real dearth of US highway system routes, with some major interregional routes served by state highways. Some, such as 99 and 299, used to be US routes, but due to the large size of the state are fully contained within California and so were demoted. So just the shape of the shield doesn't always give a good indication of the importance of the route. But I do agree it's a lot easier than trying to make a more subjective judgement on what routes to include.

I did my factory tour this morning and the employee I spoke with says the factory superchargers will remain open to the public when Kato Rd opens. (To be taken with a grain of salt.)
