Supercharger - Fremont, CA - Tesla Factory (LIVE 4 V2 + 8 V3 stalls. expansion planned)

[EVie'sDad]

I was sitting at the Fremont charger yesterday and nearly choked as someone in a near by Tesla was smoking with their window open. I rarely smell cigarette smoke any more. When it happens, I'm reminded at how vile it is and what an assault on my senses it is.

Yes, I think driving a clear air vehicle has 'hypersensatized' us to those noxious fumes. I sympathize.

The point was that a completely unsolicited opinion was presented in a very off topic manner, on a very divisive topic no less.

Word pollution can be just as frustrating as air pollution.

they just blocked off about 3 SCs for new customer deliveries since there is a huge white tent in front of the store doing factory deliveries. the actual chargers not blocked off are working fine. but there has been reports of long lines during typical busy hours.

Ok then..well back on topic...

I saw the same Reduced Service indicator on Fremont Supercharger last night coming back from the Sharks game. Didn't need the charge and saw only 3 cars occupying indicated but preferred to use my time more effectively by charging at work instead.

With the rollout of Model 3s coming in the next 4 months, don't you think they better start working on completing the Fremont 2 supercharger to alleviate this backlog of charging issues in the vicinity?

Still saw it offline this afternoon coming back from San Jose--the big delivery tent is up, so I wonder if they are just keeping the SCs freed up for deliveries...? On a brighter note, the last couple of times I have been to Dublin have been great, so perhaps that nastygrams and charges are having the intended effect.

Noticed today on the navigation map, temporary closed? Is this true?

supercharge.info no longer lists Fremont2 at all?

There hasn't been any new permits, construction, or openings in CA since December 16th. This is by far the longest stretch without any new location activity in the one state that needs it the most.

But there are currently significant Supercharger site expansions in progress at over 6 different locations (I have lost track) with some already completed. That is pretty significant.

When pedestals at "Fremont #2" were first spotted, a year and a half ago, it was assumed by many that it was going to be a Supercharger site like (almost) any other. Since that time some -- including me -- have speculated that it may not be a typical Supercharger site but may be used by Tesla for it's own internal purposes. At this point we really don't know. So I think supercharge.info did the right thing by "de-listing" it.

The stalls were all still there last night around 11 pm when I drove by. So hopefully they still plan to open it.

That said, it was going to be the new service center, but they are moving to an alternate site and the Kato road building is now going to a business unit at Tesla instead.

fyi - Fremont listed as "reduced service' in dash: Superchargers 1a/b and 2a/b are non functional but the others work fine

 

[tllt]

Thanks for the update. I just saw the reduced service and was worried as I had planned to stop there today and I’m getting close to empty

 

[shaark]

Is the site still functional?, was still seeing reduced service last night on the map. Planning on supercharging there for this weekend's road trip.

 

[tllt]

I was there on Weds and saw the same reduced service message on the map. 4 chargers were not functional at the time, but the rest were working.

Ridiculous that they can’t build more chargers in their own parking lot. Every time I drive in to the Bay Area from Sacramento I am waiting 5 deep. Just doesn’t make sense...smh

They don't even have enough room for employee parking. The other Fremont SC will take some of the pressure off.

Tesla applied for a permit to add 40 stalls back in early October 2017 at their HQ.

At the headquarters or at the factory? This thread is for the Superchargers at the factory.
