Supercharger - Anaheim, CA - East Katella Ave (LIVE 23 Dec 2019, 16 V3 stalls)

Charged over here on the 29th of December after a long drive from Kettleman City so the pack was probably relatively warm already. Started at 22% SOC, new Model X Performance, we peaked at about 160 kW. I suspect to reach 180-200 kW, it would've needed to start at 5-10% SOC.
 
I just charged there friday night. I have a 2018 P100D. I arrived a 530pm with a 11% SOS. I could never break 103kw maximum charge rate and quickly tapered down to 72kw. I routinely get above 120kw at V2 stations arounf OC and LA.....with a higher SOS. Not really sure why this is happening.
 
I'm just trying to figure out how Anaheim is on the way from Kettleman City to Diamond Bar.

Then I looked on the map and it appears that is actually the closest SuC to you - there is a serious lack of SuC near you :eek:

I've mentioned this to people at Tesla as well as others. On the bright side, my route home from work has 3, no 4 superchargers on my way home now. Also the Model X was purchased by my buddy who lives in Irvine not Diamond Bar, I was just escorting him haha. I believe the 100 kW S/X has either a 180 or 200 kW limit though.
 
Planning a trip to see some hockey at the Honda Center (around the corner) and would like to use this SuC once or twice. On the Tesla supercharging page it doesn't show up. It does on supercharge.info and if I move my in-car map to the area and look I do see it there. Makes planning using the Tesla pages a poor choice. I wonder though if the current issues you all are seeing are keeping it off the Tesla pages? Maybe this is typical for new SuC locations until they are working well?
 
Haven't used a SC in the past few months since the thortting sw version come out, so decided to check out this Hooters SC last night.
I arrived with 2% left, charge peaked at 78 kW, took 90 minutes from 2%-85%. 90 minutes for ~165 rated miles, I probably won't take this car for long distance travel anymore.

Use ABRP
A Better Routeplanner

I've never used Tesla's pages to route planing and only other sites (including PlugShare)

Yeah, weird that it STILL doesn't show on the Tesla SuC page, but it does show in the app (just opened it to check) and it will show on the map in the car while driving (I pass by it every day)

Agreed. ABRP is very useful. And of course, it shows E Katella. I usually start with ABRP to get a feel for the route and the Tesla Supercharger pages to see where the destination chargers are. Staying at the Ayres hotel so I'm covered there. I just wanted to try a 250 kW SuC sometime on this trip.

On many cross country trips so far I found that ABRP wants me to stop a lot more often to keep the SOC low while the car would prefer long duration SuC stops. I usually compromise somewhere in the middle. I would like to tell ABRP that I will stay longer at certain stops but it seems my only choice is a "long" (which means 100% SOC) stop or not.
 
Seemed to be working well tonight. Peaked at 217kw, started from 10% SOC, 15/16 stalls in use. Pretty impressive.
