I'd kill to see the in nav display showing all or most of the 56 superchargers full. That would be neat.

From one previous comment, the choke point will be... the ladies bathroom.
Maybe you all can get @ohmman to roll in with his Model X towing a 6 seater portable ladies restroom. That would certainly address the issue, and everyone involved gets their 15 minutes of fame to boot.
With Ohmmans Model X and my incredible business acumen, we could really clean up!

While you and Ohmman are cleaning up, who will be doing the actual cleaning up? There might be a musical question along the lines of the Bobby Darin/Johnny Mercer song, "Who Takes Care of the Caretakers Daughter when the Caretaker is Busy Taking Care?"

Holiday travel congestion at CA Superchargers; possible solutions, complaints, comments, discussion
While a worthy and interesting discussion topic, it's not specifically related to the Firebaugh Supercharger.

Came thru on Saturday about lunchtime and it was ~ half-full. Easy entry on and off of the I-5 and the bathrooms were available. All 250kw chargers are great. Arrived at 8% and the car was ready to continue before we had finished our lunch. I think its our favorite stop now over Kettleman City. Kettleman is great but it you need to grab take-out it takes a long time and is prone to traffic jams around the food options.
I was there last night. Monday night. It was me and only two other cars.
Frankly, i think this is still not in most peoples pysche.. they think about Kettleman and their regular journeys, and this is so close to KTLM with so many stalls it HAS to become more utilized at some point. Funny enough, I've been thinking about driving there just to check it out and get in a drive - to clear my head.
Me too. I just haven't overcome the friction of explaining and justifying it to my wife.
Do it !!! ....or else your dreams will haunt you.
You run out of charge - middle of the desert. In the distance you see an A&W Root Beer float waiting - made just the way you like it. But, for some reason you can't have a taste unless you bring in a 'charged' car. Just before the A&W you discover there is a Supercharger (56 empty stalls - all V3's)!!!.
So you push your car in excruciating heat - tires sinking in the melting asphalt. After several hours, hands blistered, lips swollen, vultures circling, you make the final push up to the Supercharger.
Only to discover they didn't install the charge cables.
Tesla opens world’s largest Supercharger station, 72 stalls in Shanghai
Slightly OT, but a notice that Shanghai has just stolen the title for world's largest Supercharger. Not to fear, Firebaugh still holds the title for world's largest V3, but not for long...

84 stalls (28 x 3) would be the next logical size up from 56 (28 x 2) for a large V3 site. However, I think that it may make more sense to install 28 or 56 stalls at multiple locations than to go as big as 84.
If anyone's craving some McDonald's while they're at Firebaugh...

That's fantastic. More restaurants near Supercharging locations should get into this.
