That line of city DCFCs looks cool!
Oh, and with all of them being lit, does that officially make this the biggest fast charging station on the west coast?

It's lonely here at 3am...

The DCFC units are all lit. It looks very eerie at this hour, but that could also be the green tinted parking lot lights.

The coffee shops aren't even open yet at that hour. Very peaceful if you happen to be a morning person, or maybe a late, late night person

As you mentioned in previous posts, the exit gate on Marengo was offline in the open position, and the ticket slot was taped over, so I kept the entrance ticket from Arroyo as a souvenir.The coffee shops aren't even open yet at that hour.

The supercharger still seems to be free. No credit card charges and no loss of referral charging miles.
Another picture of the city DCFC row, now with better lighting and white balance™.
Even not being able to use those, I still adore that site. I've never seen so many non-Tesla fast-chargers in one place before.
No, a DCFC just facing the other way so wheelchair access is better. Good thinking.

The usage numbers are showing two more in use than are actually being used. I exited this morning about 7:15am out the Arroyo gate, no one on duty, and the new credit card machine for payment was still covered with cardboard.
Also, still seems to be no charge for Supercharging.

When following the nav off the 210 freeway to this charger, it directed me south on Marengo, right on Colorado, left on Arroyo, then it suggested a seemingly illegal left turn across a double-yellow line island into the Arroyo entrance.
Perhaps a safer way to enter is to continue south on Marengo past the parking structure, turn right on Del Mar, then right again on Arroyo. Then you can enter the structure with a right turn.

Or continue south on Marengo past Colorado, then use the entrance on Marengo (right turn).
As long as you exit from the Arroyo side (after hours) you don't have to pay.
Well, it finally happened today. All 24 stalls were being used at the same time, at 2pm no less! Time for Tesla and the City to start planning for the next 24 Supercharger stalls to get dropped in
18 of the City DCFC's are now also open. The two handicapped stalls are still roped off. You can even see a Bolt plugged in behind the Teslas, and a guy in a Model 3 so desperate he is trying to use one of the City DCFCs.
Here is a shot of the Bolt charging:

Pardon my newbie question, but can Tesla cars use other charging stations with the adapter that comes with it?
Yes, places like ChargePoint, but you need to establish an account.
There is a Chademo adapter that Tesla sells that will allow the model S and X to charge. No adapter for the Model 3 yet.
RT
What? Yes there is. Since mid-2019 I believe, CHAdeMO adapters are usable with Model 3s
I stand corrected! Good thing I got my yearly misteak out of the way on New Year's Day...
