Supercharger - Pasadena, CA (LIVE 26 Nov 2019, 24 urban stalls)

[RubberToe]

Supercharged yesterday and walked over to the restrooms by H&M/Tommy Bahamas. Could not find the validation machine in the hallway. I believe this was removed some time ago, replaced with a couple of coin-operated claw machines.

This is correct. I walked around the mall this morning and couldn't locate any publicly accessible validation machines. The Starbucks did not hesitate to validate me with the purchase of a Grande Latte.

Been checking the usage periodically while (unfortunately) at work today. While Glendale and Burbank (3rd St.) have been pretty solidly filled, Pasadena has always had a minimum of 7-10 spaces available. Could be people are still hitting their typical chargers, not paying attention to their Nav, or just shopping where they want and it happens to NOT be Pasadena.

Getting busier! Station still reports used/available stalls oddly...

Looks like the gathering on Wednesday was a blast! I couldn't make it due to a work event but am all in for a cruise!

Also this was the supercharger on Saturday around 1 pm!

What are the hours in which the lot does not charge for parking? I went Sunday morning at 6 AM and saw a Model S wanting to enter and decided not to. I pulled a ticket to get in but the exit gate was up. The other exit gate had an attendant but not sure if collecting. I drove to top to check it out, plugged in to charge for 5 minutes to see the input, and then drove out via the exit where the gate was up. No charge.

If I recall correctly, you can park for free before 7:30AM, by leaving through the gate that has no attendant.

The mobile app is still not showing N/24 spaces in use. Note sure whether the car app is displaying the red bars for filled slots. When I last checked yesterday it was just showing empty bars for available slots. So, if there were 8 spaces open, they would be showing 8 white bars.

The city now has the last 2 DCFCs installed in the handicapped spots. Guys were up there this morning pulling CAT-5 cable through the conduits. Nice picture above showing good usage. In checking the phone app over the last couple days I have never seen fewer than 7 spots still available. So it isn't filling up yet. December Holiday shopping will be a good shakeout given the proximity to the Paseo mall.

RT, I must've just missed you this morning. Here's usage this morning at 9 am. 7 super chargers in use (White model X at the end was not in a supercharger spot). Nav showed 17/17 superchargers available, not 24.

Interesting to see that people are parking with a space in between, despite that being irrelevant at Urban Superchargers. Probably good in the long run, to ingrain the behavior in newbies who don't know about SC etiquette, for when they do visit one where that matters.

Not unlike the unwritten rule for urinals in men’s rooms.

When I was there on thanksgiving day, I parked with only two cars on the back side charging. A woman in a model s came and parked so close my wife had trouble getting in despite unlimited options available.

 

[coredumperror]

Not everyone is enlightened to the proper SC etiquette, yet.

 

[smilepak]

Interesting, I passed by there yesterday and oddly the Nav as 15/15 available. Must be a glitch.

 

[coredumperror]

Yeah, it's a known problem where new SCs incorrectly report their current available spots as their maximum available spots. Happens for a little while, then eventually fixes itself.

 

[hoshino]

I went there 12/1 Sunday afternoon app reports 16/16 available.
However what's weird is I can't find the charge session in my History tab of tesla account

 

[Fongers]

I may have missed it but has there been any more information regarding the cruise?

 

[coredumperror]

I haven't seen anything. We should totally schedule something, though this rain (and maybe snow?) may be prohibitive for the funnest drives.

Probably best to schedule for February?

I drove into the Pasadena Supercharger area this morning at about 4:15. A blue Model 3 was just leaving and a
dark colored Model 3 was plugged in and charging. Later when I took my morning stroll there was an older Model S parked on the other side charging. Plently of activity here for those of you who are night owls.

 

[PlayaVista]

Thanks @coredumperror - for the night owls among us, when are the gates open i.e. ??? - ~7:30 AM. 12 AM? 3 AM?

 

[coredumperror]

The gates are open 24/7. They are manned from around 7:00AM to midnight, during which time you'll actually have to pay to park unless you get validated.
