100%!! Reality vs. Theory. One of Qualcomm’s many issues is that you have to sit there for 15-30 minutes (once you start to charge) at ~30 kW, until the other half of the pair leaves or drops below some magic threshold of draw
I wonder if Tesla will have a Grand Opening party at La Costa?
Last year on the way to Coachella, I stopped at the Banning SC to charge. Tesla reps were there handing out free gifts and snacks. They also had a DJ playing music. Not sure of the real purpose of this event but good for Tesla anyway.
Maybe they should do something like that at La Costa?

Summer is over and the zonies are back in their natural habitat. See you guys in 9 months!
There is a state law against parking illegally in a handicapped space. Private property is enforceable. I believe that I heard on this forum that other states have similar laws for parking in an EV space without charging, but not California unfortunately. While police do ticket for all sorts of things on private property, I believe many could be challenged. My friend actually did successfully contest a citation once for this exact reason.
Here in West LA, they are ticketing everywhere for no front plate.
Anyway, I am one definitely happy about the CPD police hanging around. I wonder if there is a background story to that. Maybe there was some unwanted activities in the area at one point.

I’ve only had positive interactions with CPD. For those of you visiting this Supercharger, keep an eye on your speed as CPD frequents La Costa Ave. I mostly see motorcycle cops hiding between parked along La Costa Ave., east of the Supercharger. Speed limit is 40, so don’t rip outa there with your 100% charged P100D.

Agreed. This entire area is a known speed trap. Don't contribute additional funds to the city if you don't have to.
Tell them you are homeless.. no one dares ticket the homeless in SD.
Moderator note: I am pleased this location is finally operational. Now that it is, let’s try to stay on topic. Thank you.
Used the supercharger today. I have a Model S 100D. Charged from 29% to 80% = 168 miles. Got a nice constant 74kW, at close to 80% it tapered down.
Whole charge took 42 minutes. Unlike the 120kW chargers these are not paired, so you get full current.
At a 120kW charger this would take about 32 minutes. So, here it was just 10 minutes more.
At Qualcomm with their 120kW chargers if your neighbor is already charging, this would also take 40+ minutes for you.
Today in the afternoon this location was almost 1/2 full.
Qualcomm was 100% all day today.

Those Teslarati in the North San Diego County area might also want to follow what's happening about the Vista supercharger.

In case you haven't noticed before, Sundays are always busy days at Superchargers.
Especially late afternoon.

Yes I posted that while I was sitting there charging

Was Qualcomm also full? I would guess yes but I would have hoped it would be better. Guess they just need to build more.
