That is ridiculous. Unfortunately, the Buena Park and Santa Ana Superchargers are unlikely to have a major impact on this. They may relieve SJC a bit, which in turn could open that up so fewer people charge here, but still, wow. I hope Tesla has their eye on this, specifically for an expansion or additional 405 location.
Were you on station 4B, last one on the right? That one is faulty, charging at only 74A for me yesterday and the guy plugged into 4A was already in taper. He said that someone told him the same about 4B last week.
I was at the Culver City SC last week. They now have a true valet option, where they will actually park the car and charge it for you. They will return it when you are done shopping. At least this way any car that has finished its charge is moved. At this time, it is an optional service. They valet is located elsewhere at the mall and not by the SC.
There has been so much discussion about locals charging, leaving there cars behind for extended periods, etc, that I am now beginning to question that based on your comments. Why would any local want to wait in line to charge? Alternatively, could it be that lines formed in the first place because locals get there first and leave their cars for extended periods? The fact that a line can form at 6:40am on a Saturday morning, with the Costco not even close to opening yet, makes me feel otherwise. My guess is that these are people trying to get to/from San Diego.
