...there just ain't much in Kettleman City unless one is craving an animal style In'n'Out. One hundred fifty miles is an easy drive for any Tesla vehicle in any California weather condition.
Atascadero SC to Kettleman City is only about 60 miles or so, generally too soon for a charge with Harris Ranch or Gustine within reach for those heading north. Maybe those who are in Sta. Barbara would utilize Kettleman City over Harris Ranch.
So, I really do not see this location as getting much usage for those going to or from the San Luis Obispo area. Sure, nice to have, but not likely to be a popular stop.
That is a good point that applicable to more than just this location. People sometimes forget to think through the round trip. They see a route that is A to C of about 120-150 miles (with not necessarily Superchargers at the endpoints), and they think, "That's doable, so why is there a Supercharger at B in the middle?" Well, if you're going from A to C and then back to A, you will need a Supercharger stop either on the way out or the way back.As true as this is, as a fellow Fresnan, we often make Paso Robles a day trip and the stopping in Kettleman makes sense as quick stretch stop on the way out (or back) without having to hit the Harris smell or dash down to Atascadero.
I for one am looking forward to this opening!

That why I think it would make more sense to increase Tejon to 40 and just put 10 in Kettleman.
If the main point is to supporting Model 3 or MS 70D and below, coming from Orange County or inland Empire, they'll need to stop way earlier than Kettleman. All those smaller stop in between are useful for those with higher range and can easily skip Tejon.
SC have to keep growing, it's never enough. Have you ever hear anyone complain there are too many gas stations?
SC is the only network in the world that can do long distance travel.
That would be doing it backwards. This forum has a separate thread for every known Supercharger location that exists or that we have some level of proof indicating it will exist in the future.the original thread in this subforum was merged into another one created in the model S subforum.
I have requested that it be moved and merged.This is getting too confusing - if a thread is in the wrong forum (as the other Kettleman City thread is, in the Model S forum) why not move it back to the correct forum (this one), rather than create a new thread here?
This comment was correct in the Tesla/Edison era. Things have changed a bit since then.The limitation of DC is distance.
Of course. Technology advances...lol..if DC was the same then, we're screwedThis comment was correct in the Tesla/Edison era. Things have changed a bit since then.
