Supercharger - El Cerrito, CA (LIVE 3 Jul 2020, 14 urban stalls)

[noshadow]

Hey! I thought I was the only MY guy in Albany....see ya on the road!

So cool! Albany is small, I'm sure we'll see each other one day. If you see a black pup MY, that's probably me!

Power is out at home, so I’m charging her up so I can use her as a big battery for my laptop haha.

First time here!

Nice..haven't had the need to hit the superchargers yet (anywhere actually). Will probably do it for our next trip to the coast.

On a side note, we're scheduled to get a Tesla Solar Roof in Sept and will be getting 1 powerwall. I've heard rumors that Tesla is working on a way to utilize your Tesla vehicle as a proxy powerwall, if needed. Pretty cool.

Don't count on that. There is a feature now that will prevent your car charging from draining your Powerwall during an outage. However, with only one Powerwall, you probably can't back up your EV charging circuit anyway.

That's interesting! I got a quote for Tesla Solar Roof, and the total came out to be about $12K in Albany, and I think they recommended including two power walls. This was only based on my previous month's PGE bill, so I wonder if I need more.

Ok, I’m getting an average of 7kW right now. What is happening here? I’m going to unplug and goto the Pacific East Mall location in a second. This is crazy. Anyone else have issues here?

Pretty bad results. I ended up going to Pacific East Mall and was getting 150 kW!

Is that the solar panels or the solar glass roof (so, the roof shingles contain the solar cells)? That seems way too low for the solar glass...

Just the regular panels. Not the glass roof. I didn't know that was already an option!

Unfortunately, I have gotten really poor charging at El Cerrito Plaza. It sometimes drops to 0 without a single other car charging even. I now just drive down to the Pacific East Mall.

Anyone else have problems here?
