Supercharger - Menlo Park, CA (LIVE 21 Nov 2019, 18 urban stalls)

I’ve been annoyed with the construction effort going on at the Sharon Park plaza (off San Hill) over the past few weeks.

Showed up for our morning Starbucks today and was pleasantly surprised to see the construction is for an urban supercharger site. Looks almost complete. It’s in the back, on the other side of Starbucks from the main parking lot. They had to pull power from the other side of Safeway!

Does anyone know if this is ever going to be operational?

That was the very first Tesla store... I picked up my Roadster there.

I bet this is a PG&E thing...

Likely. This week I checked on the electrical progress on the Morgan Hill location which also looks nearly ready but no power yet. Was told they were actively working with Tesla and doing calculations for power and to install the appropriate equipment for it (pad there is empty too). Bet that Menlo Park is in the same stage/situation.

Yes, don't hold your breath for PG&E to perform... they are so far behind in their work that they might go bankrupt. :cool:

Pedestals now have paper bags on them.

Total speculation, but I’m going to say this means we’re going to be waiting a while for The Man to figure this one out. I can’t imagine Tesla would spend the resources to cover them if flipping the switch was imminent. They’re probably tired of the ‘my car isn’t charging’ service calls. :p
