Yes, just because the nav says unavailable doesn’t mean the station isn’t working. It can be “offline” but that could mean it’s not reporting to HQ which doesn’t mean the power is shut off.

So no posts about this location since last May. On the tesla.com Find Us page the icon for this Supercharger is shown but when I try to select it nothing happens, no window appears showing information. So I assume this station is still closed. Maybe related to the flooding in the Kern Lake area? I won’t be driving through there until mid-November but thought someone might know what the status is.

I’m planning a trip to SoCal this fall and this site showed up in the ABRP trip planner. Glad I found this thread so I have a backup plan

Shows as live in the app with 1 car charging there now. I would rely more on the App than ABRP or the awful website.

I wouldn’t worry about it there are plenty of sc along that route about 15-20 miles apart.
Ok if all you want to do is charge. As of 8/13/23 there are only the porta potties and gravel. I spoke to the "security" person and he told me he thought construction would resume on 8/14/23. I was the only Tesla using the superchargers and I received the full amp benefit. Very easy on-off the I-5 and quick and easy access from CA 166 via River Road if heading north or east toward Mojave.

I have often seen that, but then when driving by seen 1-2 teslas parked and most likely charging.. so YMMV, if you’re low SOC it’s probably best not to count on it, but otherwise it’s probably providing something.

This place needs a paved lot. I was routed here about six months ago, and it was disgusting and dirty and dust was blowing everywhere.

Dust or no electrons? Sure it would be nice but better to be able to charge than not.
Now that you’ve been, you can avoid and use other chargers in the area when possible. But when it’s busy, this might be you’re only shot.
Lot is paved and striped only a couple of feet need to be paved at the lot entrance to connect it to the road.
Still showed the wrench in the map when I started navigating to the charger, later it showed offline however all chargers were working.
They have removed the restrooms so there is no amenities whatsoever.

This is a very strange location as it shows up on the find us Tesla map, but you can’t tap it. Is this going to be an in-service location or a temporary one? I was routed here once a long time ago and found it odd that there was so much dust. This is before it was paved still find it odd that it’s sort of there and not there at the same time.

It’s there as overflow for busy weekends and holidays and will make more sense when the full travel center is built out (if it ever is).

I am at this charger right now. It was showing a closure so i was aiming for tejon pass at 1% just in case. It is working. Getting max charge curve. There is construction going on for the shell gas station and 2 porta potties for the workers. That’s it. The chargers appear to be working normally but this site would be total havoc if it were full of cars charging and only two porta potties

This site was disgusting when it wasn't paved and packed with cars.... people and kids running all over and going to the toilet.... Very unsafe and dusty. I was routesd there a LONG time ago the beginning of the year... I don't know why this just doesnt become a normal supercharger location now that the lot is paved.
