The Michelson location has lots of shopping/dining options....
Need a little more north/east irvine love...
I lol'd at that as well. Probably the most egregious version of the oft-repeated "now if they would only build a supercharger here!" retort that you often hear after new supercharger construction is spotted.You're joking right? 74 stalls across 5 sites within 15 miles isn't enough, not even counting these two planned sites which will probably bring the total number up to over 100 stalls?
...it has too many shopping/dining options ala all Irvine "planned" centers, for example see The Spectrum on any weekend evening.
I was at the Michelson location last week for TGIF. There was so much traffic in the parking lot they had rent-a-cops controlling the traffic on either end of that address. It was a slow crawl with very little parking on the ground or in the structure.
And correct me if I'm wrong but there is no open dirt there. My money is on the SuperChargers being installed on the top floor of the very crowded parking structure which will easily add 10 minutes or more in each direction during Happy Hour 6 days a week. Not sure how crowded the center is at other times.
Needless to say I hope I am wrong. Hopefully the SCs will be located east of that address up against the 405. That location would be a little bit better.
Not a joke. This area has some of the largest population of Teslas of anywhere in the world, and this is also happens to be the single busiest travel corridor in the entire country. Every supercharger station built here has been massively congested since the day they were built. The number of actual stalls is irrelevant, unless they meet demands. It is the ratio of stalls/use that matters, and north Orange County has never had sufficient amounts. The recent addition of multiple stations in San Diego has helped significantly, but when you consider traffic patterns, that is another region entirely.You're joking right? 74 stalls across 5 sites within 15 miles isn't enough, not even counting these two planned sites which will probably bring the total number up to over 100 stalls?

I have always said that Irvine would fill a huge gap, allowing decompression of Fountain Valley, and secure an easy commute between LA and San Diego.
Thank you. Thread title updated.Seems like a time for a thread title change. Permit is finalized and address is confirmed. 3021 Michelson Dr, Irvine, CA 92612

@BlueShift
The address on the permit is just the general street address for the whole complex, therefore it's not a good indicator of the exact location within the property where the superchargers will go.Posting a map: the red circled area is a large empty parking lot that hasn't been used for parking a over a years. The red mark is where the address of the permit is.
It's insane the amount of high-end apartments in the area that are being built. It makes me wonder what the vacancy rates will be in that area, or if they actually think they can fill them up. Regardless, any additional SuperChargers in the area will help a bit.The area immediately around these chargers has seen an explosion in new higher-end apartments recently.
Going to be a lot of locals charging nights and weekends, but on the flip side I bet it will help Tesla sell dozens of cars.
