Supercharger - Rancho Cucamonga, CA (12 V2 stalls)

It was charing that fast because it was listening to Celine Dion Radio and a Josh Groban song.

I kid I kid!

Used this SC today after golf after forgetting to plug in last night. Funny enough there was a guy sleeping in his car while I was there.
I actually have a setting for "Nap" in my car. Puts the seat as close to horizontal as possible. Have used it to great effect on solo road trips.:smile:
 
This is the Supercharger I use when I head on multi day trips to see my dad in his nursing home than my mom about 8 miles before the Cabazon charger. And yeah, when I forget to charge.

Was busy on Dec 23rd. There were spots available when I got there but none when I left 45 mins later. There was no wait.

Packed on Dec 26th. I was going to charge, but, calculated I could make it home without doing so. I parked near my brethren and went to the Apple store to pick up an order.

Each time there was a security guard hovering around the SC. I asked on the 26th and they said that on busy days they leave a guard there to watch the cars as well as make sure no one is ICEing the spots.

Nice! Thank you Victoria Gardens.

Wow, starting to see full usage at a 12-Stall Supercharger Site! The may be a first, and shows a lot of traffic.

See Capacity of Superchargers Using an Erlang-B Model A 12-Stall Site has almost 2x the capacity of an 8-Stall Site and almost 6x the capacity of a 4-Stall Site before see full usage.

My hope / guess is this was holiday travelers. Usually during the week this place is pretty empty. I park next to the SC even when my car does not need a charge. That way my car can hang out with some buddies. :)

Have you ever returned to your car and found the charge port unexpectedly open? :confused: (I've parked across the aisle from a row of superchargers and noticed that my charge port popped open when someone pressed the handle to plug or unplug their car.)

Yup, that'll happen if you park within a few spaces of a Supercharger. Anybody who presses the button on a SC handle pops open every nearby Tesla's charge port!

Take a big ol' roll of duct tape with you, and tape your charge port shut! Problem solved. ;)
 
Ok... Just a note of something that I noticed last Saturday when I had to stop off at Rancho Cucamonga to Supercharge.

perhaps a sign of some possible challenges to having the 2 J1772 so close to the Supercharger stalls.

To the i3's defense, both J1772 stalls were taken and he WAS charging with one of the long cords. I didn't see all SCs being full for one second while I was there, but kinda bad.

Additionally, the White Model X was there for about an hour and a half. (I swung by to check stalls) went to dinner and charged for 30 mintues after... Same Model X (P90D, no L) Vin in the 1400s... Probably a n00b who doesn't understand that you charge, then move and is probably at the movies.
 
Arrived here at 8:45 pm, 4 cars present. Had 30%soc, drew up to 160kw. 100% in < 60 min.

160kW?

WOW!

Need pics for proof

It started at 125, and jumped up to 160 for a good while. If i knew this would be a big deal, i would've snapped a pic. If there is a way to go easily view a log, i would do that for you all.

I'm pretty sure i saw what i saw. Maybe I'm wrong. Too bad i won't be re-visiting this sc anytime soon.
