charged yesterday at 8 am, but Lounge was closed. Outside bathrooms were open, but could not get the code to open the door with my plastic glove on, even when pushing the buttons hard. Had to take my glove off to get the code to work. (are those things really heat sensitive? kinda silly in the virus age.)

Virus age? Lol

but also you could have just punched the code in and walked in and washed your hands if you’re that scared.

Has anyone, anywhere, documented a case of covid19 contracted by touching a surface?

While this is a valid question, it really doesn't belong here. There is a separate coronavirus thread in this forum, as well as a whole Internet to entertain you on such questions.

I wonder if this is related to capacitive touch-sensitivity, instead of heat? I know some of my gloves allow me to operate my tablet and phone, while others don’t.

Thanks marcG, I googled the term and learned something new today.

So Tesla has just updated their coming soon supercharger map for 2021... anyone else curious about the implication of this (a second location in Kettleman City)?

Curious indeed - expansion of the existing site - or maybe a second location on the other side of HWY41?

My guess would be a second location on the other side, although there doesn't appear to be any existing facilities in that area. [edit: oops, I was looking other side of I-5]

If Tesla's already planning a 2nd location in the area, I think I know where it will be (don't ask, I can't say where)

 

[AMPd]

Some chargers at the Bravo Land would be nice

It could also be an adjacent addition.

 

[ItsNotAboutTheMoney]

It could also be an adjacent addition.

Or maybe "just" a major v3 upgrade.

 

[RubberToe]

I would think adjacent, so as to avoid having to dig out installed working hardware and replacing it. Just put the new V3 hardware at a new site.

While I would LOVE a 48 stall V3 SC on the southbound WEST side of I5, there is no way that would happen.. no other infrastructure, no shops, coffee, etc.. It would be great if they could build additional capacity on the EAST side of the northbound off ramp, a bit before the regular town and let people walk 1.5 blocks east to the starbucks, stop and go, and other stuff. I’m sort of surprised that this area of Kettleman could get THAT much power that predictably. Frankly, I’ll be surprised if something actually shows up right here next to the current SC. I don’t think it actually makes any logistical sense to put another 40+ stalls here at the same place. It’s probably best to spread the traffic and retail love around the I5?
