Supercharger - Hawthorne, CA - Tesla Design Center (CLOSED TO PUBLIC 19 Jul 2021, 8 V2 + 2 V3 stalls)

That's odd. I thought only 7.11 allowed v3 and 145kW v2 charging. I have not heard of anyone w/o 7.11 getting more than 120kW at the chargers around town that those with 7.11 have gotten the full ~145kW out of.

Makes me wanna drive down to LA to test it out, but I am sure the site will be swamped the next few days if anyone with 19.8.5 can experience the 1000 MPH speeds.

The Hawthorne V3 SuperChargers went live today! Stopped by and plugged in... and got about 250KW on the display for a short time and finished up about 15 minutes later still going at about 183KW. Not a full charge for me... about 75 - 80%.

I was only able to get up to 126kw on the up taper then it settled at 120kw for a good amount of time. Charge was started at ~30% soc.

Im on 2019.8.3 however.

But at least you got the benefit of using the thinner charge cable

Friend of mine running 2019.8.5 just plugged in to both of the v3 stalls only to get a max of 98kw while starting at ~25% soc.

I also noticed theres is this sticker attached perhaps indicating the charge level has been reduced to 120kw output?

Zero difference charging at a v3 pedestal here than before. None. Nada. Zip. Zilch. Zed.

And I’m not holding my breath for that to change. In fact, I expect to get my (FSD) board swap via a mobile tech in 12-18 months and doubt v3 chargers will be of any direct benefit to this barely 2-year old Model S even then.

Indirectly, anything that gets Model 3s out of the queue faster is of some benefit, so there’s that.

But still.

Just confirming: 4x stalls were replaced with 2x 250kW stalls?

So this location now has:

• 2x 250 kW
• 8x 120(/135/145) kW

?

I think they're talking about Hawthorne SC.

It appears that way to me based on recent posts and photos in this thread. But I have not had the opportunity to visit this location since the installation of the two V3 pedestals.

So am I... since this is the Hawthorne thread!?

Oops! Sorry, I thought this was the DTLA Supercharger thread. My mistake.

I visited the Hawthorne SC yesterday and discovered that the V3 supercharger furthest from design studio entrance is out of service. The other one had a cone in front but the friendly security guard said I was more than happy to give it a shot. My Model 3 w/ 2019.12.1.2 and a SoC of ~35% was only able to pull ~120kW. With that said since it is dedicated power to the stall it beat the other V2 superchargers in terms of charge rate since the place was constantly full.

New V3 signage! Charge rate appears to still be limited to 150kw on model 3 however.

What version of the software is your M3 running?

When this post was made, car was running on 2019.20.2.1.

Got up to a peak of 207kw tonight. Started from 3%.

No luck with V3 today, my model 3 should be ready for the high power supercharger. The NAV shows up to 250 kW. I could only use the rightmost pedestal (west). I plugged it in and got “unable to charge check charging equipment” and the dreaded red T. There was another 3 in the left V3 stall, he never got out so I don’t know how fast he charged.

I was at 20% SOC and software version 24.4
