strange location when that Blackhawk plaza is literally ghost town plaza.

Looks like construction has started at this location. Right next to what will be Apple Cinemas.

Could have been a good deal on the lease because of this.

Good progress here and looks like V3 style chargers. Next step get the transformer in, I guess ?

V4 stalls. V3 cabinets. Seems to be a move over to V4 stalls now.

Well, that'll give people something to look at while they charge.

Just saw this new location today and immediately searched TMC to see if there was a thread on it already.


Yeah that Plaza is pretty empty. changes owners every 5 years or so. I'm sure there was some favorable, either tax credits for the owners, or maybe Tesla was able to strike a deal for really cheap because of how empty it is and owners are trying to do anything to attract more foot traffic. (They rent out the parking lot to sell Christmas trees during the holidays lol)

As longtimeowner noted above, a movie theater is opening next door. But Im not sure anyone's going to charge while seeing a movie, then get charged idle fees.

Well given recent layoff of the supercharging team, I'm not sure if this site would even open (keeping fingers crossed !!!) or will there even be anyone to take the yellow tape off and open up parking,

that plaza is so empty or "ghost town" I am shockingly surprised SC been set up. didn't Movie theater closed down too?

 

[longtimeowner]

Supposedly Movie theater (Apple Cinemas) was to open in Spring '24 but doesn't look like it's opening anytime soon.

Thanks to @corywright and the team.

They need to have time of day charging rates. Flat rates don't work for this location. Or much lower rates 24/7 to drive traffic to that mall. Also, have a quick sandwich or food service in the mall would be great. The burger place closed down, so nothing that can be ordered quickly within the mall.

it needs to be 35cents all day to bring in traffic but I am not the landlord or PGE, that plaza is literally a ghost town

Yeah there is no fast food up there. All just fancy sit down restaurants, and they last 2-3 years then close.
There is that new crepe place, Brown Butter, but more of a brunch place, over priced & long waits.

That office building at the corner and bank of america would be great to replace with some drive thru.

The best attraction is just parking at the edge and looking at the hills lol.

V4 is designed for other makes (longer cables, built in CCS). $0.44 is cheaper than EA and others. Tesla doesn’t NEED to do anything involving taking a loss to draw business.
