Thank you Mike, I appreciate you doing that. I edited the thread title to conform with the style of the other California SC threads and added "under construction" to clarify the status.Wanted to start a dedicated thread for this Supercharger reported by Lump here: Service Center Burbank Ca.
811 S San Fernando Blvd, Burbank, CA 91502

Wondering, what does WRT stand for?
I believe that little gap at the bottom means this is the type with the thinner cables.
Knowing the area well I predict this to be a very busy station. Lost of people in the movie industry are there and lots of Teslas. I'm surprised it's only 6 stalls.
It has the gap yes, but the gap is not vented so Mountain View CA will remain the only one with the thinner cables.
That's odd. Would've thought they would put the latest and greatest tech in the new stations.
While the above may well be the case, I'd think the main reason there aren't liquid-cooled cables here is that Tesla is still doing a long-term durability and operating test at Mountain View, which is close to HQ and thus easy to monitor and service. Once they get all the data they want and are convinced the newer system is ready for prime time, we'll start to see it being installed more widely. It appears to me that this installation is a case of being fitted 'for but not with', allowing easy upgrading in future.I would think places with more extreme heat and cooling locations would get priorities for the liquid cooled Superchargers.
I understand that many expect it to allow Tesla to charge faster. However, if I remember correctly, these cables would also allow the SCs to operate in the more extreme ranges of temperature. And though Southern Californians may get cold at anything below 60F or complain that it's too hot at temps above 80F, the truth is there are a lot of places that are colder and hotter than here.

The TMC Progress chart says "Construction apparently complete 8/19/2015" (Supercharger Progress - Tesla Motors Club - Enthusiasts & Owners Forum) but nobody in this discussion indicates that that is the case. Also, the Tesla site shows no indication either. Any projection on when this will open? I could definitely use it on my monthly trips to LA.
