Funny that Hollister is not showing in my in car navigation yet, but already on Tesla site. Isn’t it usually the other way around?
Hollister? It’ll always be Casa de Supercharger to me.

Has anyone actually visited any of the facilities in the last gazillion years?
As a native Californian, I went there a couple of times as a kid, and the food was terrible. Haven't been back since.
Is it still as bad as I remember it?

My wife and I often stop there for a bathroom break if we are passing through while on an all day drive to So Cal or returning home from So Cal. But we have never eaten there. Doesn’t matter, this is a great location for a Supercharger.

Amen to that, Bruce.
I cannot believe that Tesla assigned the naming of this site to the accounting department. If a company can come up with creative Easter eggs embedded in secret locations, and can devise such fancy terms as ludicrous and maximum plaid, surely the company can avoid the vacuous "Hollister" for this site. I don't care that their policy is to use the zip code for nomenclature. Sometimes you just gotta deviate from the stodgy and the ordinary.
Unlike their engineering imagination and creativity for the falcon wing doors, among other things, a naming of a Supercharger location costs nothing.
Where is the whimsy that Tesla shows now and again?

Woohoo!!!!!
Tesla's corporate types are so boneheaded! Hollister! That's the one thing it's not! It's as if they don't actually use them! (This is a slight jab at Elon's latest interview where he called old fasioned corporate types boneheaded.) I happen to like the name Hollister for the town of that name, but that's many traffic jams away from Casa de SuperCharger and Casa de Fruta. Never mind all that ... I'm happy it's open, and it's a wonderful location with many memories, good and bad, as I've already posted.
Thank you. Me tooHollister? It’ll always be Casa de Supercharger to me.

Same with me. I of course try to be polite and buy something I'm interested in. It usually ends up being a bottle of water.

Great news! Hopefully just one of several long-awaited in-construction Supercharger sites in our area to come online in the short-term.
So it's Hollister huh? Always be Casa de Supercharger to me too having read this thread for a while now. It just sounds right.
Someone should update the thread title now and include Tesla's new name for it.

Tesla used to be better with names. Two of the earliest Superchargers have location names that everyone knows, but is not the city of the location's address.
Tejon Ranch Supercharger - not named Lebec, CA Supercharger
Harris Ranch Supercharger - not named Coalinga, CA Supercharger
Heck, they could even use the road name and call the Hollister Supercharger the Pacheco Pass Highway Supercharger and it would be more descriptive.

The best bathroom break is up the road a bit at the reservoir. Easy on and off, you get a nice view and its never crowded.
Works better in the easterly direction.

Never! I never buy water. Such a silly thing to buy, a bottle of water with leached plastic, no thanks.
I carry my refillable containers with me.
OK, one of you guys that goes by this location regularly needs to at least make a "Casa de Supercharger" sign and plant it in the ground. Maybe Tesla will get the hint.

Maybe if we could find one of the owners or managers of Casa de Fruta, we could cajole him or her into erecting a couple of directional signs that say Casa de Supercharger. Then, have said owner contact Tesla and politely explain that they have taken it upon their own initiative to rename the charging location.
