Looks like a new bank of super chargers are almost ready to operate at el cerrito plaza. Really nice to get stations nearby for our neighbors without charging at home

El Cerrito Plaza Urban Charger needs some love

El Cerrito Plaza is a huge complex. Where, specifically, is the new Supercharger facility located? Do you have a street address, or the name of a nearby business?

As almost always, specific locations of superchargers under construction or in operation are discussed in a different section of TMC. Supercharger - El Cerrito, CA (Under construction Jan 2020, 14 Urban stalls)

Or you can also find/see developing sites on the map at supercharge.info

The lamp posts were installed today. No news on transformer yet, but Modesto had their transformer installed just recently, so we may see a progress here soon.

 

[PedramGh]

Transformer is now installed. Am waiting to go live anytime from now...

Sometime around 2:46AM this morning, my data logger started seeing an entry for this Supercharger (albeit with 0/0 stalls available). Haven't been out to my car yet to see what the Nav says about it, but I'm expecting it's "Temporary Closure" or something like that.

One could see this as a sign of impending opening, but remember the Oakland (Hegenberger Rd) Supercharger was in this state for weeks before people were actually able to charge there. So...???...

Bruce.

EDIT: It’s on the Nav as “temporary closure”. Same for Modesto and Santa Cruz.

Checked the location this morning and not open yet.

 

[israndy]

Yes, I noticed a few days ago that it was showing as not open. Guess they wanna have more control over when the public arrives, instead of only informing us when it's finally tested and working.

 

[noshadow]

I got excited seeing the location pop up in the list on the Tesla app, but yes, still on a temporary closure.

 

[bmah]

It’s up!

Bruce.

EDIT: The stall occupancy is wrong. It showed 12/14 on arrival but I’m the only car here. Also sorry for the sideways screenshot.

No comments! Well I have comments! Today I picked my model Y from Fremont factory and today El Cerrito Plaza (my neighborhood charger) opened. I guess we call it a bliss

Public Service Announcement for Southern California

this is NOT at El Cerritos in Corona off the 15, this is in the Bay Area

I was all excited then couldn’t find it on the map. Takeaway - California is a big state

Congrats! I'm only a handful of blocks away from El Cerrito Plaza (I'm technically in Albany). So cool to know there's another MY owner in the hood.

Maybe we'll see you at the plaza charging one day!

 

[israndy]

I just noticed my second neighbor that has one here in Alameda, and I have seen maybe 5 total that park around the island somewhere already. They are really selling a lot of those TMYs these days.

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

I think the power to be the only Tesla guy in a specific neighborhood vanish during the first year of the Model 3, likely that's why I was in such a big hurry. I wasn't the first on the island, but I was the first on my side of the island, and up until they opened the Supercharger across the street I didn't see that many Teslas in Alameda. Now my neighbor 4 down has one, his neighbor has an X, in fact, the map of nearby Tesla is huge now. I even see them driving up to our cabin.

The Model Y came on so fast you don't get any real time to bask in the glory of your purchase.

Well people like you Randy have been such an influence to a lot of other people. I know at least me and Sanjeet decided to buy ours after you bought yours. It’s the power of word of mouth for a good product that made Tesla independent from power of Advertisement.
