Supercharger - Palmdale, CA (LIVE 19 Oct 2020, 20 V3 stalls)

[MichaelP90DL]

There's a lot of real estate to cover. Evidently they are building, or are about to build, it somewhere. We just haven't figured it out yet. Actually, on my way south to that construction site on West 10th Street, I passed a derelict gas station in the weeds. I thought, that would be a perfect location. I should have snapped a pic. lol

Don't shoot the messenger.
I just got off the phone with the building permit division of Palmdale. They only post the building permits online once they are finalized. Then, the only way one can search for it is if we know the address. Darn!! Anyway, she said though she cannot give out information to the public, she has no recollection of Tesla requesting a permit.

Wow. That's messed up.

Don't be too worried about this yet, Tesla isn't really precise when it comes to naming superchargers. Them saying a supercharger is coming to "Palmdale, CA" doesn't necessarily mean it's actually within the city limits, even being somewhat nearby is sufficient. In the case that it's on unincorporated land, the city wouldn't have any involvement in the permitting and the local office very well might not know anything about it. You'd have to search the LA County permitting database to see it.

A lot of times the permits are pulled by the contractors who build the superchargers, not Tesla.

I suppose if that is the case, we should be searching Lancaster too.

Very good point. The search is on!

Slightly off topic, but KB Home has new construction going on in the Antelope Valley in various areas. Since Tesla sales are going through the roof, I contacted KB Home and suggested that they wire new homes for garage chargers and pointed out that Tesla could consult on that. I added that doing so would give them a competitive advantage. The reply said they would talk to their architectural and electrical experts about it.

A buddy from work heard from a tesla mobile service guy that it’s going to be at the AV mall. This was about a month ago right after the sign at the mojave supercharger went up.

 

[MichaelP90DL]

AV Mall would be perfect. Lots of restaurants there, lots of shops to visit.

There is a project near the AV mall that sounds like it might be a good spot for the supercharger. They are building a Sprouts as well as some apartments, townhouses, and new restaurants! I'm betting this is where it's going to be.

Sprouts center gets Council approval

Oh cool. I did not know about the Sprouts. I shop at one in Burbank when I'm over that way. Thanks for the info.

Today I drove through the AV Mall, looking for any obvious sign of construction. Didn't notice anything. Hmmm.

Please say that you drove through the AV Mall parking lot.

Shucks. Next time I'm down there, I'll check the parking lot instead.

Elwood Blues to Jake: “Looks like the new Oldsmobiles are in early this year.”

For anyone who loves cars yet doesn’t understand the reference, please watch ‘The Blues Brothers.’ For the mall scene and so much more!

Twelve Dodge Bluesmobiles were used in that film, including one that was built only to fall apart.

The area where the Sprouts and housing will be developed is across 15th West from the Mall.

When I drove by the other day it looked like they hadn't broken ground.

The pop-up sign at Mojave for the Palmdale location is no longer there.
