Supercharger - Mariposa, CA (LIVE 12 May 2023, 12 V3 stalls)

PG&E has not yet started their work.
More significantly there are now two signs that say there's non-EV general parking in all 10 spots, even though 6 of the spots have red signs posted saying those spots are reserved for Tesla charging. Four other spots towards the back have red signs saying 60 minute parking is allowed. There is going to be lots of confusion here once this site is powered up. ICE cars are already parking in the SC stalls, but of course that's currently a non-issue. A lot of people with red hats live around there and don't like EVs. Luckily there are also many other locals who are curious and supportive. I've never felt conflict at a SC before but this could be a first...

Hopefully that is just a temporary sign while the chargers aren’t active. Once powered up those should go away.

Stopped by today, January 10, 2023, don’t see a transformer around, usually they’re quite close by to the charging cabinets. The station is complete, including giant solar canopy and well fitted white hoods on all the superchargers.

I headed to Pioneer Market today to do some shopping and found traffic control, a line of PG&E trucks, a Ditch Witch, a dozer, an excavator and progress at last toward installing a transformer! No transformer is sight yet, but there is hope!

Great shot of the Horsetail Fall! (The park doesn't use the term "firefall"; that was an actual fire they used to push over the edge at Glacier Point until they realized how stupid that was!)
How crowded was it, and how far did you have to hike? I'd love to see that sometime, but not if I have to do it with 50,000 of my closest California friends. I guess you went during the week, so you didn't need a timed entry pass?

As I kid, I saw the original Firefall many times. It was spectacular!It gets very crowded. For Fridays-Sundays in Feb, you need a Yosemite entrance reservation (unless you have a room booked in the valley) The walk is about 1 mile.
i went on a Thursday. So less crowd. Plus, it’s still early on to the fall. No hike, park near the horseshoe fall and look up.
I’m sure the closer u get to the peak view timeframe, the place will be pack and no parking. u will need to hike a little.
only fri - Sun need reservatio for February. Also, make sure the sky is clear and sunny! Or u won’t see anything.
From an article today in the Mariposa Gazette:
"Tesla charging stations almost ready
Pioneer Market is also in the process of installing Tesla charging stations. Dubberke explained PG&E had to replace some lines in town, but now that their work is done with that, it’s onto the last step of the process.
Come mid-March, the work should all be complete and Pioneer’s new charging stations will be good to go."

Since either my wife or I shop there several times a week I'll certainly let the group know if see any progress.
So close but not yet active. The PG&E transformer has been installed, and the button on the charger plug does open the car's charge port door. But after inserting the plug the change port just shows a red (not green) ring.
Since Hwy 120 through Groveland will now be closed for a few months due to road repairs, this alternate route on Hwy 140 through Mariposa has become very busy and is the primary access to Yosemite from the whole Bay Area. I hope Tesla can finish commissioning this supercharger soon.
And hopefully the ICEing will subside once the supercharger activity picks up. Two stalls were ice'd today.

Probably just waiting on the Tesla tech who does the commissioning.
My wife asked the cashier yesterday, and she said, "Still waiting". But a transformer installed is REAL PROGRESS!
We tried again today and after plugging in the T on our Model 3 went red, notification said Charge Cable Not Fully Inserted, and the display said, Supercharger Out of Order. Tried to replug, but no change. Can't be much longer now, I would hope, but since the, but we have been so close for so long.....
