Supercharger - Kettleman City, CA (LIVE 15 Nov 2017, 24 V2 + 16 V3 stalls, lounge)

I really wish Tesla would make historical occupancy data available. It would be a good data set for trip planning, forum gawking, etc..

Amen! And while we are at it, Tesla should make more data available as to stall reliability and maximum kW availablility when one must select a paired stall to eliminate guessing where to plug our cars in. But that would be actually doing its customers a service. Tesla hasn't inserted customer service and satisfaction into its business model yet.

At this point even with an operating company it's still all about prioritization of tasks for resources both human and capital.

Let's see some photos of those 250kw charging sessions!

I was at KC yesterday (Monday, Nov 25) around 815am. About 10 cars. The entire north row is 250kW charging. I was the ONLY person in that area. People just didn't know. There were several Model 3's in the "slow" charging. I told one guy he should move, but he was just finishing his charging session anyway. They do have signs...but you'll miss them if you're not looking. I have a Model X 100D, and it was charging at like 160KW. I didn't even know that was possible for my car.

Better signage is easy to fix. For now, an ambassador (not Ukrainian) could simply direct drivers to the 250kW goodness. I might even volunteer depending on the quid pro quo...

Looking forward to see how busy this Supercharger Station will be tomorrow (Wed). Post your pics! Hopefully the rain wont discourage travellers during the Thanksgiving Holiday!

 

[tivoboy]

YEAH, Thanksgiving volume pics please!

Lol. I was just going to post that people already know. On Sunday afternoon the 250s were almost full up and the 150s we’re pretty empty. Sort of an inflection or the—in my experience—historical distribution which is typically more full on the ‘lower’ chargers than the back row.

The app and the touchscreen both indicate that there are only 24 stations available. Once upon a time, there were forty stations available. If the new high-speed versions are up and running, are there other stations that are down? Heading to the coast in the morning for Thanksgiving.

Thank you.

I thought they upgraded 16 stalls. So, it seems only the 24 original stalls are currently showing in the status. I'm sure when everything is updated it will show 40 stalls again.

Agree that the app and touchscreen show 24. When I went through the other day, that's what it showed. But all 40 are operational (actually, one was coned off when I was there). But it's 24 regular and 16 v3 to the best of my knowledge. Happy charging!

I was there today and all 40 including the 16 new V3 chargers were operational. V3 was noticeably faster going from 10% to 94% and the car was ready before my family was.

Anyone have any PEAK charging rate info on the new V3, with a M3 preferably. I’d like to know if they can sustain Peak for how many.

V3 Supercharging Profiles for Model 3

How about some feedback from the troops on the front lines? Please provide details of the carnage (or lack thereof) in progress...

And pictures please! NAV shows only 4/40 available. Pouring rain?

V3 Supercharging Profiles for Model 3

Well, to be clear I meant what have people been able to attain at this new location with V3? I’ve had over 1000 mph charging and the Fremont location, wonder if this location can put that much in

 

[Big Dog]

I got 500 on Saturday morning, starting at 10%. (I shoulda taken a picture.)

edited to add, model 3, LR, RWD.

Moderator note: some posts discussing the idea of “intelligent charging management” and how V3 charging works were moved to the Supercharging Infrastructure forum

disappointed that Tesla hasn’t leveraged intelligent charging management to increase # of chargers
