Supercharger - Firebaugh, CA (I-5 / West Panoche Rd, LIVE 13 Nov 2020, 56 V3 stalls)

This is going to stay running for good, right? Could it be operational in some kind of trial mode that may get turned off at any point? I’m going to be driving down the 5 tonight and this is the perfect stopping point. Don’t want to get there only to find it not working.

I wonder what the peak solar output of the location is. It would be really fun to have access to production and consumption for installations like that.

Count the panels, multiply by .9 for various losses, multiply by 320W per panel.

That will give you a decent ballpark number.

it could fluctuate since it wasn’t coming up on nav yet last night

Will someone please post the prices to charge in Firebaugh? My Tesla has unlimited free supercharging so the charging price rates do not appear on my navigation screen. Would like to know the rates. How do the prices compare with nearby Harris Ranch and Santa Nella/Gustine? Also if a Tesla driver were to take the more coastal US 101 freeway between SF & LA how does the price of charging compare with the Paso Robles or Salinas Superchargers?

Has anyone been able to snap a pic of the transformer(s) boilerplate? Curious to see if larger than 2500kVA.

Why would people be travelling for Thanksgiving with the virus spiking and blame being given to small gatherings? Are people determined to give grandma the virus?

People are rating this funny but I'm serious. The virus is on a tear. People should cancel their Thanksgiving gatherings.

Hopefully next holiday season we'll be vaccinated and people will celebrate the holidays with family and friends.

On my way back from socal today. Looking at the update while at Tejon. We will be there later!

Wait it’s partially open? Second photo shows missing charging stalls.

Maybe those are the third-party CCS/CHAdeMO stalls that haven't been installed yet. (There are supposed to be 9 additional EV charging stalls in addition to the 56 Supercharger stalls.)

Aren’t those really big? Doesn’t look like they’d fit.

Maybe I am remembering wrong and they are just going to be L2. But some of them put the equipment cabinets remotely like Tesla does...

Isn’t there EA CCS and ChaDeMo already across the street at the Shell? I seem to remember those being one of the early EA sites and they’ve been there for a while.

Didn't see one. Chevron Extra Mile with a Mickey Ds drive-through, and a Taco Bell.

As far as I can tell all 56 pedestals are there (I didn't count them). The four in my second photo that are not under the solar canopy are numbered 14A-14D. I had the impression the other pedestal bases were for future expansion.

When I was there this morning, there were a handful of Tesla employees there shooting videos of this place (two of them were in the red Model Y in my photos, they had a drone and a steadicam-type rig).
