Supercharger - Berry, NSW

Chuq's post at the bottom of page 1 of this thread shows a right hand turn lane planned but who knows if or when it will happen

Went here last weekend travelling south from Sydney. The roadworks are still ongoing - no right hand turn yet.

What I did is travel a little further down the road where there is a left hand turn off the highway. You can do a quick U-turn and then wait there to turn right back onto the highway. The vision is good, and anyway, with the Tesla's acceleration there's no issue rejoining the highway. Then it's a simple left turn into the winery.

I ended up buying four bottles of wine after a tasting while the car charged. Had to move it part way through the tasting to avoid idle fees - first world problems.

Does anyone know what's up with this Supercharger? It's been listed in the map as no more than "4 available" continuously for the last 4 days or so. Is one cabinet down? Normally the map tells you when stalls are out of service.

As it's on grass, they sometimes rope off a couple of stalls to let the ground recover from rain damage/mud.

Shouldn't be an issue, it's a reliable site and rarely gets too busy.

Nice spot.

Hi all - anyone going past & needing to use the Jaspers Brush aka Berry Supercharger.- FYI 2 of the stalls are currently marked off with witches hats - no signs or info why (the ones behind the Y).

They do that when they are trying to regrow the grass.

Personally I think the horse has bolted and they should lay some gravel and give up on the grass idea.

makes sense! but yeah, zero chance of that grass growing. I thought it may have been to keep people from overflow parking there.

Been a continual issue since the site opened.

As you can see from the photo there is supporting material (hex pattern) in the soil, but it doesn't appear to have worked that well.
I don't think the site drains that well, and given you need to turn the car getting in and out the wheel puts extra force on the grass.

I wonder whether putting 1960s style concrete pads just where the tyres should go might work.
With the reversing cameras, most Tesla's should be able to staff off the grass.
