Supercharger - Buena Park, CA - Beach Boulevard (LIVE 17 Jun 2020, 24 urban stalls)

[gnguyen]

It's quite dangerous. You can really spend a lot of money there. $12 margaritas at La Huasteca, $6 lattes at Basilur, $6 soft serve at Honey Mee and $10 cheese mini cheese cakes at that cheese cake place that way more than Uncle Tetsu.

I spent $4 for an espresso shot at the bakery / jeans shop.

And worst of all $13 dollars for mediocre ramen at Yoshiharu. That was pure robbery!

That was hilarious, thank you. I totally didn’t mean to conflate Asian malls with actual endangerment, I was just thinking about how someone else had posted that this mall is dead.

I’m totally excited about a supercharger with boba drinks instead of the usual walk to a Starbucks or the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf at that other Downey location.

Don’t forget:

The last time I visited that plaza was to get some ramen there. That place was not bad. The plaza was pretty dead empty for a Saturday afternoon. 1/2 of the spaces aren’t rented yet. The food court was sad.

hopefully it’s more lively since then.

This is on the Tesla app tonight.

We already have eyes on the Katella location in Anaheim. Is the Beach blvd spot perhaps the new Buena Park supercharger?

Anyone in Buena Park want to do some scouting?

Drove past them today 12/27/2019 on the 3rd floor. Looked like 22 chargers.

Just tried. No power yet. BTW the car says 4th level but it's actually 3rd

as long as it's easily accessible from the 5 without jumping through a lot of hoops i don't care what's in the plaza.

Based on the comments about the how slow the mall is (it was slow the last time I was there a few years ago), I was at first thinking this was a poor location choice. Then the more I thought about it, I started wondering if the placement was because Tesla could get the rent cheap or even free as a way to help lure customers to the site.

Which doesn't really add anything to the conversation: just my avoiding-work-musings.

Sunday afternoon was busy there. The food court was packed. A line at every food place.

still no power? :0

 

[Jamesus]

Still no power :/

 

[David99]

Slightly OT but maybe not....
The food court is different from the typical mall food court that all have the same chain fast food places. This food court has almost all independent food places. I believe most are Korean. Everything looked delicious, but I had no idea what to order. The English descriptions were limited. I'd love if some locals could make a few recommendations.

 

[Jamesus]

I’d recommend Myungrang Hotdog. Korean corn dog made with rice instead of corn.

Scouting report. Main bank of 22 chargers still walled off with cones. The two across the stairs tried to charge but had no power. Pretty busy this afternoon, going to anticipate some angry ICEing when it opens.

I agree the placement is unfortunate. That level is where all the food places are and the most traffic is happening. There are two levels above it. Heck even the far side of the same level is less busy.

For real, the chargers are right in front of the ramp and two stop signs. It’s gonna be wild when all spots are full and a queue of cars form.

Also to the right of the chargers are 6 Clean air vehicle spots.
