Yeah, burns me up seeing that.
The connector, however, is in a position where I think you could doublepark and block them in while you charge.

Excellent, Napa Pete! I went by and took a picture too, and was going to report it's all done but the striping. When I was there, I couldn't find the owner, and there were landscape crews and people putting up sheet rock in the Circle K. At that time, they were ALL ICEd, I presume so all those pesky Tesla owners don't drive in there and try to charge! I think the site owner was getting grumpy. And I even stopped by Home Depot and bought a hardhat ($7), just so I could wander around, and then the crew was gone.
Great. So for your very first post, you're admitting to have ICEd a Supercharger, with photographic evidence. Way to go.
Seriously, great pictures...thanks for sharing and welcome to the forums. Keep us posted on the progress with your soon-to-be new S.
Bruce.
Thanks for the update and the pictures NapaPete. We're driving up for the July 4th weekend. Any chance it may be open by then? It looks pretty close.
Bruce, don't plan your trip assuming the Napa Supercharger will be operational. There are any number of things that could delay its opening, things that we have no knowledge of.

Bruce, I would never ICE any ev charging spot! Even a non operational one. That car you see there was already there. I'm the black Volvo SUV in the background. I know you were joking, but I had to set the record straight! I'll try to drive by every few days and update any progress made.
REALLY looking forward to my new Tesla and sharing and reading stories on this forum!
Thanks ecarfan. One option is to drive up to Petaluma and charge up and then head over to Napa on Calistoga road. Longer drive but works.
Hi Napa Pete. I think you confused bmah and I. As a newbie to the forum I wouldn't pick on a regular (even jokingly!). Look forward to your future updates. Thanks...
Bruce, I'm a newbie too! I didn't confuse the two of you, he signed his message Bruce. But don't worry, we're all just joking around.

I stopped by late Tuesday evening. The gas station store looked like they were starting to stock it and there were product signs going on the windows etc.
I hadn't realized how busy Devlin Rd would be at 3pm, and it took forever to get an opening in the traffic to pull back out. I'll not make that mistake again.

However, the most pertinent photos are missing! These are the ones of the front entry where the entrance driveway meets the street. That is where the major construction has been focused for the last three months. The stalls and pedestals have be finished for ages!

The work connecting to Devlin Rd was finished over a week ago. To me it looks liked it's just striping and landscaping left. Maybe some lighting/electrical work.However, the most pertinent photos are missing! These are the ones of the front entry where the entrance driveway meets the street.

Woah I missed this thread for the last few months. First time I saw these were today. Driving by on highway 12 I saw the bright red Tesla chargers. I am super excited, I frequent this corridor and this will be a perfect location for me to charge my Model 3!
Now we really need another supercharger in Davis! Vacsville to Folsom is a long stretch of nothing... (I work in downtown Sacramento)

Just got in from Napa Supercharger. Met another guy coming out who said he was the first to charge.
So... I was second, maybe.
Supercharger is operational.
But the site is not open yet. Weekend, you could probably get in, but weekdays, maybe not.

Wow, great news! Thanks to @roblab for the heads up. I will change the thread title. This Supercharger site is not yet shown on the teslamotors.com Find Us page, so not "officially" open. And as noted, there could be difficulty accessing the location because of the ongoing construction which Tesla does not have control over. So be careful and don't assume that you can get a charge here 24/7.

Here I am, the first to charge at the Napa Supercharger on Devlin Dr.: Saturday morning, 7/9/16 @ 10:11 am.
I met Rob as I was leaving. I know Rob has been checking this Supercharger status often, THANKS and I get there 30 minutes before him. Sorry!! My wife said, Tesla owners are obsessed!! Yep we are!!
I made the detour onto Devlin Rd heading north on Hwy 29 just to see the progress.
However, when I pulled up to the Grabber Tubes this guy waves me through and said "YOU'RE THE FIRST TO CHARGE"
I asked if he worked for Tesla? No! he said, he works for the contractor and was taking detailed pictures (evidence of progress) for the completion of the Tesla Supercharger installation. He was also inside the concrete block electrical enclosure so I anticipated he commissioned the Supercharger installation just before I arrived.
I also charged on my way back home on Sunday evening, 7/10/16 @ 3:30 pm
The long wait is over.
