It is open! I stopped by this AM @ 1030 AM & TeslaTech told me- “nope- not open til it shows up on your map as an option”-
Came back later @ 2:30 & she was ready & willing-
Got my charge in 45 minutes & on my way. Thanks Tesla!

After a year and 8 months, I no longer have to drive to Buellton or Oxnard to charge! So grateful. Thank you, Tezla.
I sure hope they put the curb stops in soon because I can foresee some poor rear judgements taking out the poles & or the chargers themselves

totally. jus cuz people can afford a tezla does not make them intelligent or sober
@MarcoRP this is not showing up on the app but is charging cars as of today.
I took a picture of what I bet will be the only time my car is on by itself during the day ever again

Well grump. I was there shortly after 5.... no one charging. No signs, workers or barriers to stop me... seemed inviting...so I pulled up to a middle one..... it was “buzzing”. Never heard that before. I plugged in and got the orange flashing light, so I disconnected and left. Maybe I just happened to be there when they were running some remote tests....

got there shortly after 7. nobody plugged in, plugged into one of the middle ones. i do agree there was some time of noise going on in one of the nearby chargers, not sure if it was the one i was using. Anyhow, felt so damn great to be one of the first, and nobody else around!
Isn't it true that if you charge before the site shows up on the Tesla SpC map that you get it free?
But only charging at 53 kW. Predicting 15 mins to charge. But maybe that’s appropriate at 63% battery.
8 mins later still predicting 15 mins, down to 44 kW.
None of the stalls are numbered. Does that mean they are not done or that this station does not share stalls?
Stall 8 from Hollister is the one buzzing. It sounds like stall 2 where I am charging. But it’s hard to tell if any others are buzzing as there is leaf blowing going on... naturally.
I tend to keep my battery at 55-70% per articles suggesting that “may be optimum” for battery life. After 39k miles and 2.9 years, 70% is 227 miles for me. New, it was closer to 235. About a 3.5% drop. More telling is the Wh/mi change. New it was pretty near the rated 300 W/hr. Lifetime it’s now 315.... last 6000 miles, 335. So actual miles per unit power is going up fast than batter degradation is going down.... or I am just driving harder...
22 mins later, 5 min left. Now at 35 kW or 116 mi/hr.
Done. 30 mins to add 70 miles to the tank. Takes it to about 84%.

This is a V3 installation. V3 doesn't have the pairing issue we're all used to from V2.
It's common for limited power initially.
Power up.
Wait for the nerds to test it.
If problems, disable and fix.
Turn on.
Raise power.

Plus, you wanna set the SpC as your destination so that as you near, it conditions the battery for optimal charging.
(Of course if not on the map yet, this can't be done.)
