Supercharger - Menifee, CA (LIVE 30 Sep 2019, 20 V2 stalls)

[ölbrenner]

Supercharged here this morning. 1/3 of the stalls blocked off. They were digging new trenches in between the current supercharger pedestal bases, and laying in the blocked off stall parking spaces were concrete forms that looked like they could/would fit in these new trenches.

The forms had an oval shape to them just like regular supercharger bases, but about twice as big. I should have snapped a pic. I wonder if they are some type of new "double supercharger" type of base hmmmm ???

I'll be back next at this supercharger next Tuesday, and investigate further.

Weird. You can see from the pics upstream (see post #30) that there was conduit run for an additional 3 Supercharger cabinets presumably good for another 6 posts, though I didn't see exactly where the posts would go.

Does any one know how many chargers?

Confirmed they added 6 more stalls today and they were running the wires through the conduit. It’ll be a 20 stall station in no time

 

[DaveRZ]

Drove past this afternoon, looks like the 6 new posts are up and running!

 

[bmah]

Could someone post some kind of visual confirmation of that expansion being completed? Like a picture with the new stalls, or a screenshot from the nav or mobile app with an updated stall count?

(The Tesla "find us" map shows 13 stalls which as far as I know was never correct.)

Thanks!

Bruce.

As of Friday 9/3 during my last charging session here - they were still completing pedestal installation, hooking up the cabinets, and lots of holes in the ground still needed backfill. So I myself kind of doubt the new stalls are operational yet, pending completion/testing/permit inspection etc.

I will check back in here on Tuesday 9/7 with a status report. All the pedestals, pic taken 8/31:

Didn't have a chance to take a photo as I drove by yesterday, but here's a screenshot from the app this morning.

Any speculation of why Tesla would expand Menifee? That charger is not that busy.

The upcoming non-Teslas using the supercharger network.

@bmah heres a pic from today looks all operational ! Only bummer are non V3s

 

[P85_DA]

On another note there seems to be several of these forms not sure if for lighting or what ???

 

[mociaf9]

Yes. Those are for lamp posts with concrete bases.

I can confirm the new V2’s here rock, 10A with an initial 139kW@47%SOC.

EDIT:
A gentleman pulled into 8A and got nothing, he moved to an old stall to charge. So not all is well in charger expansion land.

I came in at low SOC and tried new ones seemed same to me not really improvement …would have been nice to make some V3s ..I know they have some sites where they did mix V2s and 3s ..

 

[DaveRZ]

So I noticed this supercharger is now listed as a 250kW. Haven't stopped by to see if its all the stations, or just the newest ones.

 

[ölbrenner]

Interesting. The two new stalls I have used are 150, I will have to check out the rest next time I am there.

Another possibility is that it's just a mistake in a database somewhere. The source of truth is the physical hardware, not what's on the app.

That's my take right now, until someone physically verifies V3 pedestals/cabinets. My mind's eye only recalls everything being V2 (pedestals, cabinets, actual charge rates), but next time I am out in Menifee I will verify (sure would be nice to get accurate onsite reporting from a local ).

I also put in a request for supercharge.info to update from 14 to 20 stalls at this location.

 

[P85_DA]

I just charged there …they are V2s I maxed 150

I concur.
