Supercharger - Buena Park, CA (removed from car nav 31 Aug 2018 but still operational, 8 V2 stalls)

This location is still listed on the website as a Supercharger site

It certainly is. But since it’s not in the car nav, many owners won’t know about it, and new Tesla owners are unlikely to be aware of it.

In that case, is it possible to delete this thread

If the thread was deleted, someone who came across the pin on the web map, searched for the appropriate thread on TMC, and didn't find one, would just start a new thread to ask about it or comment on it. Better to just leave it with the edited title as it is.

It is confusing. It doesn't show up in the car's navigation which means Tesla doesn't want people to use it. I believe they also asked PlugShare to remove it as a station, yet on Tesla's own website it is still listed. Doesn't add up.

It may be overused. Every time, time I pass there it is always full.

I agree, it is puzzling.

This site is becoming a Tesla vs owners playground. Tesla is parking their cars in the supercharger stalls to prevent people from charging here at night. Ironically they are leaving the keys in the cars, so people are now unplugging them and park in front of them.

...Ironically they are leaving the keys in the cars, so people are now unplugging them and park in front of them.

Very clever indeed.

Instead of having an attendance doing all the moving, now owners have to do self-service and move Tesla's cars around for them.

It's just like free Full Self Driving for Tesla Stores

The site is back on Plugshare. Still not on Tesla's map, though.

My wife just pulled up this morning and experienced the same thing - demo / loaner vehicles parked in the charging stalls. However, they are not plugged in, so she parked perpendicular behind them and is charging!

I did the same today parking parallel except to find Stall 3B wouldn't initialize and my car flashed red. I suspect it was broken as it was blocked by a pylon.

Saw this sign today at the Downey Stonewood charger, is there a new Buena Park location being planned?

 

[Vern Padgett]

So there are 24 superchargers at Buena Park (see Find Us | Tesla
But it is not THIS Buena Park... I'll see if there is another thread for the OTHER Buena Park .
