I sent an email to Tesla's SC site today asking if either Groveland or Fish Camp would be open in time for the holidays. I'll post the reply if it's anything other than the the usual boilerplate.Back on topic, has anyone been to Groveland recently to check on the status of the supercharger?
What's interesting is that it doesn't appear on the "Today" map of superchargers as "coming soon".
Yes, Badger isn't very exciting for a downhill skier. OTOH, it's a great place to practice cross country downhill. And if you're a X-C skier, there's several days worth of trails to explore in the area, and if you're up for hut skiing (Glacier Point, Ostrander Hut, Snow Creek) or snow camping there's even more you can do. I agree that trying to hike in the Valley isn't much fun if it's icy, but in those conditions there's usually snow on the ground and you can X-C ski there. I find snowshoeing really tedious.I think I must have had very bad luck. All the trails were really iced over, so you couldn't really walk more than a few hundred feet in the valley without some serious slipping and sliding. Badger pass is "okay" but only for about 1/2 a day unless your a beginner. I did a bit of snowshoeing. I found the valley to be very dark too, must have been overcast.

As I said, it really depends on what activities you're into. If you want to walk you're often very limited (mini crampons help), and if the weather's bad, it can be very gloomy (especially at Curry, as it gets so much less sun in the winter). Many locals refer to the Valley as "The Ditch", and I'm generally happier on the rim or higher. But the winter activities I enjoy are of the 'active outdoors' variety, and if your interests are less so it's probably not the best time of year to be there.
Thanks anyway!Mostly boilerplate from Tesla: ". . .The construction at our site in Fish Camp and Groveland are near complete and are going through final inspections. We are actively working to have the sites fully operational as soon as possible with the holidays approaching, although we cannot make any guarantees about dates."
Yep, same day as Fish Camp. Well done, Tesla.The supercharger map on the Tesla web site now shows both Groveland and Fish Camp being open. I didn't take the 90D to Yosemite last summer due to uncertainty about getting from Manteca to/from the valley and Tuolomne, but looks like this will be a breeze now.
I went to Yosemite once in the winter. Unfortunately much of it is closed due to snow, and the valley doesn't get that much sunlight. Love it the rest of the year, winter not so much.
Winter is my favorite time of year at Yosemite, but please tell all of your friends it's a bad time of year to come, keeps it nice and quiet
I haven't used the Groveland SC, but since it is shown in the car nav as operational I would have no concerns about planning on using it if I was headed into Yosemite on Hwy 120.Planning on heading to Yosemite for NYE. Anyone use the groveland charger yet or should I charge up in Manteca?
Whatever you choose, please do stop at Groveland and take some photos for the thread! I'm particularly interested in the end spots and their feasibility for charging without unhitching a trailer.Planning on heading to Yosemite for NYE.

I'm intrigued that they installed 7 chargers -- since when were Superchargers installed in odd numbers?
