Lone Pine was the only Supercharger on the route when I drove my new 2015 Model S from Lake Tahoe to Las Vegas (through Death Valley) in Feb 2015. I barely made it to Lone Pine (it helped that it is generally downhill and my wife was puzzled why I was driving so conservatively). Second leg also barely made it to Las Vegas but was successful!
Last month I drove my new Model S from Lake Tahoe to Death Valley and enjoyed having options of Gardnerville, Mammoth, Bishop as well as Lone Pine. Life is good.

Before there were any Superchargers I talked my friend Linda, the owners of Ray's Den Motel in Independence to put in a NEMA 14-50. And so that was my means of traveling the area back then in 2013. Ahh....the good ole' days!
These days Ray's Den has a rooftop of solar and a Bolt.

I was headed through on Friday and snagged a couple pictures. So great to see these expansions along the 395, now we just need the snow in Mammoth to melt so they can get the 2nd charger going there. Bigger issues in Mammoth right now though with all the snow so they are forgiven for not having it under construction yet.
Lone Pine expansion is complete and open. 16 stalls. Damn, that was fast. I am assuming this construction team are the same ones working on the new Mojave Workz site, given the timing and rapidity of that site.
Sorry, no pics. Heading straight to Bishop to charge.

I'll be there Monday. I can take some pictures if nobody else has by then. I had been watching Ventura, CA Superchargers and they were built in 3 to 4 weeks. However, it has been weeks while we still await the transformer from SCE.
@4SUPER9, if you haven't already discovered, that Mexican market near the Bishop Supercharger has a fabulous vegan taco plate!

I always liked this location...now with 16 slots! The Film History Museum is totally worth the $5 suggested donation, in my opinion.

It’s worth the $5 just to use the bathroom! I agree though. Definitely worth a visit.

Amazing, can we now get one at Kramer Junction? Would complete that corridor perfectly!

4SUPER9,
I am almost one hunnert percent positive that when I visited Lone Pine in June 2015 (it opened in late January) that there were four stalls. It may be that they christened two stalls early and then christened the second two later. But I always thought that it was a four-stall site from the git-go. I do not recall where Tesla only built two-stall permanent sites. Madison, Wisconsin had a three-stall site early on.
