I charged at Baker for about 20 minutes, but it was Black Friday night around 11pm. One other car there. Nice station.

Can't wait to stop by this Mega-Supercharger station on the next trip to Las Vegas. Will make the drive that much more enjoyable, and relaxing. No need to worry about 'not enough chargers' with 40 available.

Really outstanding, artistic and technically perfect photos. I wish someone would shoot Kettleman like this!
I passed through on Sunday morning at about 7-730am and traffic was more than what would normally be there at that time, but it wasn't stop and go at all from primm to the cajon pass. I was the only Tesla there, and the only one at Yermo.
Sorry (not sorry) I didn't drive through in traffic to report how bad it was this year

The real test and pics will be next year. When the Model 3 is in full production. Those are the pics I’m really looking forward to!

I'm a little bit late, but here's an undistorted version of that label as best as I could get using Office Lens. Not terribly readable, but maybe somebody can glean something new from it.
Hopefully, by then you have Victorville and Yermo both online, not to mention a second Barstow location.
Very windy on Sunday driving back so stopped at this location. Only one other car there...a Model 3!! He was a Tesla employee. Easy on and off, there was no traffic...As for food and bathrooms...it is really not good. Bring your own and hold your nose in the restroom. Restrooms are heavily used, it looks like there is regular cleaning but can not keep up with the load...everything is wet, floors and counters and smells. The fence, payphone!@!@, and graffiti add to the ambiance. Can't wait for Yermo to open it's store and bathrooms.
My brother in law came to our house over Christmas. He has worked for Southern California Edison as a foreman/crew leader pulling underground cable for decades. He was assigned the task to provide power to the Baker supercharger. I do not push "Tesla" on the extended family, but I am glad to talk when they are interested. He said the service they provided is equivalent to (2) 2000 amp. 480 volt services. Just imagine the monthly electric bill. He was quite excited because when the installation was complete he sent the crew home to Ontario and went over the installation with the Tesla representative. The Tesla representative then let him drive his model S. He was blown away with the experience and what he learned about Tesla. Of course he was excited about Autopilot and the great acceleration.
Quick Question, Does Baker Supercharger have a lounge like Kettleman City? If so is it open?
Driving up to Vegas Monday for CES, trying to figure out where to charge. Will just go to Barstow or Yermo if no lounge, though might be more chance of snagging a quicker charge if I stop at Baker.
Thoughts?

Here is a link to a photo of the Baker "lounge".
Supercharger - Baker (LIVE 11-15-2017, 40 stalls)
The interior Dairy Queen seating area may not be accessible 24/7.
Consider a daytime, dusty, unimproved 10 minute walk to The Mad Greek open 24/7. Here are details and photos:

Good one! Fan, if you are interested, and doubtless you are
, the phrase "he got his just deserts," is properly spelled with one "s." Even though it is pronounced like "dessert," the word, "desert," [noun] is an old usage that is derived from deserve, or deserving.At one time it was a complimentary usage, typically a reward for doing something noble or heroic. But it lapsed into the pejorative sense over the centuries.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled thread commentary.

From the 18Q4 ER report:
Did I miss the lounge, café, and energy product display going in to Baker, or is that all in DQ?
