Supercharger - Brentwood, CA (LIVE 31 Mar 2021, 16 V3 stalls)

[Mrbrock]

I sent an email to the Community Development division regarding the Q2 2021 Tesla Supercharger pin. The response was that there is a V3 Supercharger currently under construction in the northwest corner of the Streets of Brentwood that would allow 200-250kw charging. I believe the closest address is the AMC theater at 2525 Sand Creek Trail. It looks like a good spot for a Supercharger. Can anybody who lives in that area swing by to scope it out for us?

 

[Mrbrock]

A follow-up email says potentially 22 connections (6L2, and 16 mix of V2/V3). They implied the V3 were for Roadster/Cybertruck and V2 for the current generation. I would guess it might be 16 V3 since there don't appear to be too many new V2 stations being installed and it doesn't make sense for a new site to have both V2 and V3.

Interesting! Getting some sort of photographic evidence would be very useful. What's we know so far, while encouraging, isn't really enough to justify us calling it "under construction" so I'm going to put the word "possibly" in the thread title until we have something more definite. Like photos of Tesla equipment on site.

No problem. Hopefully someone who lives nearby can check it out tomorrow. Coming back to the east bay from the delta? Or going the back way through Mountain House to avoid Dublin 580/680?

I was just there there is a surprise. There are 6 Wall connector as well on the back Yay !! here are some more pics.

 

[Mrbrock]

Wall connectors make sense with the movie theater. Don’t have to worry about idle fees or having to move your car in the middle of the movie.

I’m at brentwood supercharger rite now they are all live including wall connectors also one thing with wall connector even though they are Tesla you have to use the adapter. Ha ha no one here just me

 

[Mrbrock]

J1772 is pretty typical for Tesla when they do these L2 connectors at SC sites. Easier for approval since it is not a Tesla only site.

Do those max out at 40 amps?

 

[Mrbrock]

I have never actually used one, just seeing reports on here about them being hpwcs with j1772 handles. Maybe 127 can comment how fast his X charged.

When I used it yesterday at least the wall connector I was testing was maxing out at 40 amp.

It's up on the nav

It's up on the nav

So it’s free? Usually costs are listed below the name and above the idle fees right?

It looks like $0.35/kwh. The car I was in gets free charging, thus no price listed.

Ah, I always see prices listed (even when I had free referral miles) so just assumed it always listed prices but just didn’t charge you if you had free supercharging.

Did a charge there this afternoon. Couple interesting observations:

1. Public restrooms are in the building almost directly in front of the Superchargers...you should be able to see them from the charging stalls.

2. Nobody commented on this before, but there's an empty pad next to the transformer that looks like it could hold a Megapack (and has some conduits coming out of the ground). You can kinda see it through/around the Supercharger pedestals in the first photo in post #9.

interesting. This site seems to have flown under the radar so not surprising that it will have a megapack as well.

Stopped by there today and topped up. I love that out here on the edge of civilization we have two supercharger locations less than two miles apart! It is a bit of a sketchy parking lot back there.

The map indicated this is a 250kW station, but I never got about 120kW. I did the preconditioning on the way over, but was at about 35% charge so maybe that's why it never kicked up to the 20kW.
