Supercharger - Indio, CA (LIVE, 36 V3 + 8 V2 + 2 Urban stalls)

[BobN]

Can't wait!! But we have to . . . hoping for a smoother process than at SJC. Just in time for a summer-time trip across the desert!!

So great to see Indio finally happening!

 

[roblab]

Great pics! Thanks for keeping us up to date. This is definitely a needed, longed for, exciting location on the LA to Phoenix route.

 

[Ruscle]

Excellent shot.

So, if Indio is the location (duh, which it is), does that mean Cabazon is dead?

Probably. I don't see any other red dots in that area on Tesla's supercharger map.

Even without red dots, there are rumors of another Supercharger near San Bernardino or Riverside -- possibly near the 215/10 junction (although there are other possibilities like 15/10, 15/210, 15/60 or 215/60...

Could serve multiple routes too -- more so than Cabazon...

Yay! Pavement being broken up.

Would indeed be great. Maybe take some pressure off the other routes, like Barstow.

And possibly more important, Tesla crates on site. Let's see some more 3-week schedules!

Try building a gas station in that timeframe!

Good point, and it is a testament to Tesla that they decided to keep, at least initially, the stations as simple as possible so that they could be built quickly.

I wonder if they will put up a shade like at Tejon Ranch. It's a huge relief in the desert sun. Are there shades on the AZ chargers? I'm guessing everyone here wants to get to PHX at least.

Lots of places to seek comfort here.

No shades for the AZ chargers... I doubt Indio will get one to start...

Get a windshield shade and turn on the cooling from the app ~15 min before its done charging...

Site visitors....please look for and photograph the transformer.. or at least it's location; future location. (it is usually placed on a pre-poured pad, somewhat near the supercharger pedestals.) The transformer always seems to be the critical, delaying link --in new supercharger installations. .... and lots of pictures of daily progress too.. thanks! I'll do the same when I'm traveling in the area! This site, once completed, will make traveling along the Tesla Supercharging Network a breeze! I-10 is used by many Tesla Model S owners.. I'm adding my hooray ....that this site has broken ground!

Can't you run the Aircon on blast while charging?

I Agree though, that having solar canopies or just a normal canopy would be good.

 

[franklandfield]

Subway sandwich shop will probably benefit most. They are closest.

No shade at any the AZ Superchargers that I visited. Will be fun in August. I recommend using the App to turn on the Climate Control while you Supercharge. Power is not an issue, but the heat pump capacity might be challenged keeping the batteries and interior both cool while charging in the summer, desert sun.
