Pedestals still taped off but there are some PG&E folks here working on the transformer.

Is it me (and may have been pointed out) there's ten along wall and 1 for "pull in" (which actually isn't). Anyway I count eleven.
Never mind - I see it - far left from others. But still - why the sideways one on the right?

Pedestal wouldn’t fit in the existing space so they turned it sideways at the end. This is fairly common at sites along buildings like this. I have seen it a few other locations.
that space is ADA. Also there seems to be a free Tesla Level 2 charging spot in between.

You don’t think it’ll be ChargePoint or other L2 service? Seems to be what most new installs have. Some type of J1772 option. Just says EV parking only at the end, not Tesla specific. Also interesting to see 30 min general parking on the signs. What is Tesla General Parking? Are they saying there is a 30 min Supercharging Limit?
Also, from Randy’s post on 10/14 it looks like there will be 2 L2 stations, one next to the ADA spot and the one you pictured based on the electrical stubs in the pictures.

Tesla has tried to build a good relationship with community and has often installed wall charger with J1772 connector close to their super chargers. There is a similar setup in Richmond Supercharger that I often go and charge my car. This spot is in a busy area and will attract more traffic from Tesla owners. I believe this is Tesla’s treat in return.
fun fact is that opposite this station, there is a Level 2 EVGo station that technically becomes useless.

Assuming that the charger is Tesla Destination and NOT a J1772 the EVGo Level 2 will still be useful.
I spent the night on my drive from Seattle this week at the new Vancouver Mall Supercharger that had 6 Destination chargers at the end of the run. It only charged at 26 amps, but it kept me warm on a below-freezing night and Mostly filled the battery while I caught some Zs. The downside of all the mall-based V3 Superchargers is that it only takes 15 minutes, not enough time to check-out after shopping, but too long to just sit there. Having a place to plug in while you shop is a great option. I saw another couple drop off their 100D and then walk home. There was a Security Jeep watching all night so probably a good place to do that too.

- Visited the site.
- 8 out of 12 stalls were powered on.
- I saw the engineer on site who said he just finished the task and they need to commission the stalls.
- We tested the stalls to see if they activate. Neither lit on nor off units couldn't activate.
- Last minute I noticed two destination chargers are installed as well. They had Tesla Plug and volt was 230V - 48A.
- I plugged in and it started charging my car.
- Not sure if they keep this plug (it’s just installed right now) or they will change it to J1772 but I truly hope they stay with Tesla plugs.
- (I used bullet points because last week I have filed 100 Jira tickets - #wfhlife)

That was funny. He said he was hoping a Tesla owner pass so he can test them. We were so excited about me being the first car that will charge there. Though that joy was partially valid. Technically, I was the first car who charged there but not using a supercharger.I liked the part where you were helping the technician test the stalls.
