Construction crew still passive agressive in the daytime, obscuring the signage on the right that tells new tesla drivers where it is and parking an otherwise unused vehicle (wasnt moving while I was there for an hour) in the path to drive around.

Construction crew still passive agressive in the daytime, obscuring the signage on the right that tells new tesla drivers where it is and parking an otherwise unused vehicle (wasnt moving while I was there for an hour) in the path to drive around.
I have used this charger a few times already. here are a few observations.
1. They have signs that say 30 minute tesla parking. While the lot has never been full, usually it takes me 50 minutes to do a full charge.
2. in the evening, i have seen at the most 6 others there. so there has always been plenty of space for me
3. the pizza was good at Mod Pizza. a bit over priced but still good. i would rather see a NY Style by the slice place.
4. Need the other businesses to open up. while i dont mind waiting in the car, an area like this lends itself to doing some window shopping . which of course leads me to buy stuff i dont need. so it will be better once stuff is open.
5. biggest pet peeve - the way in and out is not great. they really should have added another outlet into the back side.
i am sure the construction crews will be out of there soon enough. i am really just glad they are open considering the construction is still going on.

Most likely. I just pop into the movie theater for a better restroom experience.

There are "fancy" white portable toilets as directed by the signs at the end of the walk through. They have running water/lighting etc. Next to them is the more standard blue ones which are part of the construction crew setup.

There will be nicer, permanent restrooms next to the future Mikuni Japanese Restaurant & Sushi Bar.

This has nothing to do with you and I charging our Teslas. Malls like this are required to have so many parking places relative to the size of the mall. By saying ICEs can park in our charging spots for 30 minutes is a way around the requirement. They are saying our charging spots are available for all which helps meet their parking space to business space ratio.
***** Please do not drink and drive ******
As a responsible adult, i stopped by to charge and went to the movie theater for use of the restroom. i noticed they had a bar. well, since i had 45 minutes to kill, i ordered a beer. $8.35 ($10 with tip) for a coors light. this was the small beer. talk about highway robbery. i mean that was expensive. i know there will be plenty of other places once things get built up more. but i wanted to warn others just so they know before they sit at the bar.

If you walk up the slope towards the restaurants, there is also a Panera which has a fireplace to sit next to with a cup of coffee and some nice sandwich. In the other direction towards the new area, past the movie theatre, there is an ice skating ring, a cost-plus with lots of fun international food and snacks, a peets coffee shop, a pretty good pizza fast food place, superduper burgers, and in the far corner a 360 wholefoods aka amazon supermarket.
So many options better than the severely overpriced imax food and drinks

Ice rink was temporary and is now gone.
Next Level Burger is great for a quick bite to eat.

Can you believe i! This SuC has only been open a month and a half! 4:30 pm on Saturday and it is full, all 20 stalls! The guy pulling out was replaced immediately! Not sure what's going on, but the demand is high!
How full were the parking spots adjacent to the supercharger and in the main area of the shopping center? If utilization of these out of the way spaces were higher than the main parking area that would make an excellent business case for the shopping center to agree to an expansion of the supercharger. It might even make financial sense for the shopping center to pay for the installation.
