Hmmm, this seems to add some credence to my above mentioned "theory". We shall see.

Still dead today. Nobody working. But Costco had a lot of toilet paper shoppers!
The Goodwill guy said today that he had "been told" it was being turned on Tuesday the 10th but he was not going to be held to that! I told him if it was true I would bring him a bottle of wine! He said he didn't drink so I told him I would bring a donation to Goodwill in its' place! I know when this happens there's going to be a huge party and I plan to help it happen!

There is a Goodwill truck stationed right there, so it makes sense the Goodwill guy would have current info. It may be he has to move once the stations become active. I'd be surprised if the activation date extends beyond next week.

Get ready to be surprised. PG&E operates on their timeline and their timeline only. The San Luis Obispo expansion has been ready to go except for public utility signoff since last November...

The 16th is Monday. I'm in Novato and my son works at Nordstrom rack, so will drop by and report back. How naive was I when seeing development 6 months ago to think PG&E might be able to do something right for once.

Drove by today. Not open. There was a crew of two from Tesla working there (driving a cool looking M3P). I rolled down the window and asked if there was an ETA. Nope.
I saw them working with one of the chargers opened up. They said SOON! When it shows up on the map then it is open was their answer!
It's OPEN! I charged for about 15 minutes and I only got up to 32kw possibly because I was already at 180 and my S is a 2017. Another woman in the X said she had charged yesterday the 27th. Not all the chargers are working as they have some taped off! But I am in nirvana right now as these are 5 miles from my house!

Yes indeed! I had the whole location to myself!.
Good news - I didn't get charged for the usage, probably because it's not officially open yet. So, fill 'er up!
Bad news - I started at 66%, but the rate never got above 42kW. That's what I would expect from an urban charger. I suspect they don't have this location cranked up all the way yet.

those don’t like like urban chargers - urban chargers have the handle holster on the outside of the charging cabinet…non-urban chargers are on the “inside loop” like the ones in the pictures
are sure these are urban/72 kW chargers?

No they're definitely not urban superchargers. Dandrewk was saying that the charge rate they were getting was closer to what they'd expect from an urban charger, and that therefore they didn't believe the site was providing full power yet.
