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

[snellenr]

will be interesting to follow max number of chargers used over the Thanksgiving holidays

The “in use” bar display for this SC should be epic...

Are they serving Pliny the Elder?

Oh man, I would take a road trip just for that.

 

[ucmndd]

Hmm, doesn’t show up as a pin on my nav screen yet. Oh well, going anyway...

Not to mention that Tesla Roadsters could charge there with them.

Only with a CAN SR adaptor from @hcsharp

Very glad to see this new Supercharger is open! I was just there yesterday afternoon. To quote Maxwell Smart, “Missed it by this much!”.

I will be back on Nov 26th.

There it is. Had to reboot UMC.

There it is. Had to reboot UMC.

Is it strange that I want to lick that image?

 

[ucmndd]

Success!

Some observations.

WiFi coverage includes the whole facility, even outdoors

The tap is nitro cold brew, not Pliny.

The location will be staffed until 8pm nightly for coffee and swag sales

The vending machines take cards / Apple Pay and have an assortment of snacks and some sandwiches, etc.

There are some restrooms outside the main building, doors have the same keypads used to access the main building.

Both of the HPWC spots are marked handicapped.

I pulled 96 kw for a while, which is basically the fastest I’ve ever seen my 75 charge.

Couple more

When will a very orange roadster make an appearance?

 

[Fiver]

How much is the coffee?

 

[ucmndd]

How much is the coffee?

Cold brew was 3.75, espresso drinks were all around there too. Cards only.

 

[Cosmacelf]

Are those liquid cooled charge cables? They look thin...

That’s how they heat the coffee.

The one photo angle still missing from this now vast collection is from the center of the street intersection (4 corners) looking at the lounge building. If appears they covered the entire hill leading up to the picnic tables with an enormous swath of artificial grass on two sides of the lounge. No complaints here about faux grass, its perfect for the California drought and zero maintenance, just would like to see what it looks like!

That looks great. Can't wait to see the place full soon.

The dark area at the bottom of this photo is the artificial turf.

The tap is nitro cold brew

I had never heard of that. Wow. I read What Is Nitro Coffee - Nitro Coffee Explained and Nitro cold brew coffee - Wikipedia

This Supercharger site is blowing my mind.

 

[Big Earl]

Nitro cold brew coffee is amazing.

Check out the 3D printed mini supercharger on the ledge in the background here. I have the same one on my desk at work.
