I used this charger on my way back from the SpaceX launch and there was 1 stall that was down and had tape on it to indicate it was out of commission. I guess they fixed that pretty quick then

Probably not, we visited it on Saturday but I did not notice any stations down. The SuperCharger was full by the time we left.
So its possible it is still down since you have a more recent data point.

20 chargers, but only 18 cars, including an empty space 7 cars in. (unless I am miscounting) I'm still not sure why Tesla hasn't updated the map yet to reflect 20 charging stalls...

Someone else can validate my count. That would be a good thing, just to make absolutely sure.
But I've stopped there twice (in different months) and counted, and in the photo I posted yesterday, all 20 charging stalls are visible.
The last two stalls were added a few months back.
I didn't count them, but our Model X shows 20 stalls last week when we stopped by on the way up the coast and on the way down. We drove up on Wednesday, and there were only 4 cars there. The outdoor mall looks dead at lunch time. It was amazing and refreshing after seeing how crowded the SoCal chargers are. Walk around, ate lunch, get Starbucks, shop at Whole Food for more road snacks... didn't even feel like we were making a necessary stop to charge up.
On the way back on Saturday, the outdoor mall was packed, and there was a Tesla pop up tent by Starbucks with 6 or 7 Teslas there for people to sit in.. or maybe test drive? But even though the place was pretty crowded, there were 14 out of 20 stalls OPEN. Only 6 to 8 Tesla were there charging. It was never even half full. I highly recommend this stop if anyone is driving up or down the coast. A charge here is enough to reach the Madonna Inn charger up north or any of the Los Angeles chargers toward the south.
I noticed that @TerranApart picture above showing 18 Teslas there on a Sunday evening. I wonder if some of those are ones used by Tesla pop up on the weekends for demo? Maybe they were just parked there to charge up to drive back to where ever they came from.

Thanks for double checking!
@ecarfan @BlueShift is this enough confirmation (including my picture above showing 20 stalls) to update the thread title and the map to reflect that Oxnard has 20 stalls now?
The post on Oct 15 asked "someone else to validate" so I did.
Yeah but did you know about the Destination charger a few hundred feet away by lazy dog restaurant.

Is there one? If it does, I am sure I walked by it twice. Both times coming back from Starbucks, we cut across from the fountain in front of Lazy Dog and toward the parking.
Sometimes it takes a newfangled Tesla Supercharger station to discover the old ways of California.
This stretch of the 101 is oft-forgotten as folks jaunt to parts north or south. It leaves a treasure for those who venture just a couple miles beyond the 101 to the coast - where beach parking is ample and free, folks drive a little slower and there is acres of agriculture.
It's how I remember Orange County not too long ago, which sadly has lost the orange groves and strawberry farms of my youth.
When you return, I highly recommend downtown Ventura, the beaches along Rincon Parkway and of course, Carpinteria. Also, on your way back to Rancho Cucamonga, be sure to take Highway 126 - it's a total throwback and worth the extra miles in exchange for the lack of LA traffic.
Actually we go to Oxnard and Ventura quite often. My wife's best friend lives in Ojai. I will keep 126 in mind thanks! Actually this time we had to take 118. The 110 was completely deadlocked. Actually the entire 210 was like a parking lot on last Saturday.

What's going on at Oxnard? I stoped in there to charge today and found an area of ~18 slots fenced off with a fork lift inside. It sure looks like something is going to happen there. Check out the photos:
