Reekdog, I think you are right about Tesla putting SC stations in the Americana Mall parking structure. I was there a couple of weeks ago for a Tesla "Social" for owners and it looks like they would have a lot of room on the roof for charging stations. Also, it would fit into Elon's plans to have most SC stations hooked up to soar panels for power. Here is a photo of our Tesla owners get together in Glendale a few weeks back.

Actually, I saw a bank of superchargers already operational in the Americana parking garage on the first floor, but it's currently not open to the public (it's gated separately). It looks like they're using it to charge new Teslas for test drives from the Tesla store in the Americana mall. I talked with a tech at the Burbank service center today, and he said they're planning to open that to us soon. That would be pretty sweet - covered charging and a quick stroll or meal in the Americana mall.

are you sure those were superchargers? because 6 HPWC Tesla chargers has been in valet area in Americana parking for year or so already.

Sweet! I've updated the thread title.

And we are live folks
Pulled up to check the status and no power at first; then the contractor came in and flipped the switch. And an official Tesla photog was there taking inaugural beauty pics.

Please be sure to report back on initial charge and taper rates!

 

[WalterB]

came with 35RM, left at 150RM. max power was 96kw (limit for my car), started tapering around 100RM, hadle was barely warm when I left

Unfortunately, they're eliminating the SCs at the Service Center, as they told me today. But I'm excited to see the new spot tomorrow!

 

[Lex13]

There's four to the right, so one is off camera in the panoramic shared.

Sweet! Thank you for the additional picture @callmesam. Heading down to San Diego from San Jose in 2 weeks and will pay a visit.

Sorry. I'm an idiot. I checked today, and the chargers in the valet area are not superchargers. Sorry guys.

SWEET!

Nice, randomly checked the supercharger map on the Tesla website and noticed it was red and available. Came here for confirmation, awesome news!

Say.....how did you record that? What tools?

 

[WalterB]

Navigating at parking structure can be slightly confusing at first, because it has two sets of ramps and you can end on wrong end of the level. So if entering from 3rd Street, it is best not to go to first ramp, but drive around following sings for Colony Theatre.

For Cypress ave Entrance it is slightly simpler, just driving up

I use unofficial Tesla Streaming API (same that the phone app uses) to log data to file on my server. Then it just putting numbers to Excel (LibreOffice) and plotting the chart.

If you're into programming - more details can be found at "Model S REST API" thread. Otherwise services like TeslaFi is your friend (if you're comfortable giving access to your account to third party service)

Many thanks. Not sure I am competent to follow your lead, but will look into it.

At one point the console was showing the other burbank location at full capacity. Wonder how busy this'll get once it starts showing on the in-car map.

Glad to see this SC location is ready...although I'll miss using the SCs next to the Burbank service center. It was always fun to go inside while charging and rave about the vehicle to perspective buyers lol...like a kid in a candy store who already bought his candy

Is it confirmed they are closing the old Burbank Supercharger? Why not just leave it. The more the merrier, I feel closing it is just going backwards.

They are already tight on space. The extra traffic made their life just harder.

This is how I got my 4th referral to qualify for a Powerwall 2. Yes I'll miss that too.
