Supercharger - Fairfield, CA - Travis Blvd. (LIVE 4 May 2018, 12 V2 stalls)

If it does not show as being open right now in your car navigation, don’t assume you will be able to use it this Saturday.

Thanks. I've been checking the supercharger map, but I was hoping there was some real time info to the contrary.

This thread is your best bet at real time info.

I’ve noticed that TMC members are not shy about sharing the latest info they have regarding signs of construction at future Supercharger locations. In a Carlsbad CA thread someone just posted a photo of some spray painted markings on pavement. And they were excited about it! You really have to be a Tesla owner to fully understand their enthusiasm.

Drove by today. Landscaping done. Lane stripping in progress. Getting closer.

I did a drive by Tuesday night. Basically looks the same. Bollards still not numbered. Caution tape around the handles.

It’s open!!

Stalls are accessible! Were you getting power?

 

[Dadiggaman]

It is open and I was drawing a charge!!! This location won't show on your nav yet, but Fairfield is on the map.

 

[MSchar]

Yes, fully functional chargers. Located on the back side of Solano Mall near the food court and Forever 21.

All by myself earlier today...

Stalls seem a lot narrow that any other Supercharger location I've visited. I see dinged doors in the future if this location gets busy.

Also, the city can't have thought anyone would ever walk from one mall to another. The crosswalks aren't marked for pedestrians when heading over to Trader Joe's.

Went to check it out last night. I was the only car there. There is even a single charger off to the side.

Whoever last used 3B couldn't put the charging cable back in place?

I saw that and thought maybe it was the wind. I meant to go and put it up, but forgot with getting my kids in and out of the car.

@cpa and I met at this Supercharger today. We both have given it our seal of approval. Charge away, friends.

@ohmman did you happen to note if the “single charger off to the side” that @vdubMS showed a photo of upthread might be suitable for charging without unhitching while towing?

I did look at it and at the surrounding area. To pull in without unhitching, you'd block a parking aisle. When we were there, it was pretty empty in that back, remote area of the lot, and anyone would have easily maneuvered around a trailer. But I'd still likely feel uncomfortable unless I were standing outside of the camper the whole time.

That spot is the only charging spot that is shaded. Everything else is full sun. For that reason and the fact that it's pull-in and away from the other chargers, I think it'll be the most often occupied stall anyway. So trailer or not, it may not matter.
