This is awesome news and much needed! Thank you!
This is 2.5 miles from home but I don't remember visiting this shopping center before. I will check out the area soon and will keep my eye on it.

Thank goodness Lake Forest is getting one. I live in Irvine so there are tons near me, but I always wonder what people in South County do when they need to Supercharge. I've also needed to charge while in South County and been SOL in the past.
There are a few good restaurants in there. Biagio's is a classic and Barbonzai makes really good clean Lebanese food.
I assume they wanted a location off of Freeway exits like Lake Forest Dr/El Toro/Alicia but I am sure it is challenging to find a shopping center with enough parking spaces and/or a landlord who is willing to work with Tesla. This location is still not bad considering it will fill the huge gap between Irvine and shops at Mission Viejo. Per their map, more chargers are coming in Laguna Hills and Mission Viejo, so finally the South OC Tesla owners' patience is about to be paid off after a long wait.
Now they just need one somewhere in Foothill Ranch & Aliso. Although the Laguna Hills one might be close enough to Aliso depending which part it's in. Laguna (Beach) REALLY REALLY needs one. They're so far away from Superchargers.

Any updates on this Supercharger (Lake Forest)? I will start checking it out, when I return next week, if not.
Yeah, but those aren't the only cities in South County. San Juan & San Clemente are really far from Lake Forest, Aliso, Foothill Ranch, Laguna Beach. Not sure what the point of your snarky comment was, but thanks! See below:
I live in IRVINE, which I stated in the very first part of my comment you're referring to. I can tell you didn't actually read it and chose to pick 1 part of my entire comment to reply to. I'm sorry I didn't specify which parts of South County I was in when there were no Superchargers. I didn't imply that there aren't any, and my statement still stands. MUCH of south county does not have superchargers.

I was there on Wednesday afternoon and didn't see a hint of construction. I checked the back alleys too. Zilch.
I'm sure Tesla has their own algorithm for SC placement, but you have to assume lack of major highways (toll road excepted) and high percentage of single-family homes (i.e. garages) plays into the lack of SC in inland south county.
In any case, I heartily recommend El Conejito in this shopping center, the last remnants of the departed local chain El Conejo.

Chili Chutney is a great restaurant, Afghan food similar to mid-eastern, one of our favorites. The restaurant faces Muirlands and a couple doors down from the former Starbucks which closed during the pandemic. Starbucks should reopen with the SC station going in.

Two in Mission Viejo, one in the Mall area with 10 stalls the other on Crown Valley in the Kaleidoscope building lowest parking level, 8 stalls, both are V1.
It will be a nice balance to the EA chargers at Irvine Spectrum and at Target on Alicia . Both of those are much busier now than what they used to be. When they are not broken :/ Yeah.. My Tesla is tri.. I use Chad, CCS or SuperChargers. depending where I am and who's the busiest at the moment.
