OMG... I keep on saying I'm never going to charge at Rancho again and I'm just going to use Fontana. ... But I broke the rule cause I didn't charge last night, I live down the street, only need 10-12% added, and I thought it wouldn't be that bad. OMG was I wrong. 7 kW and it sits at that speed and there's still 3-4 open stalls. I'm thinking my house is the real supercharger because I can get 8 kW at home. A MX pulls up next to me... He too lives in Rancho and didn't charge at home so he needed some quick juice. He gave up and drove to Fontana. I switch a few stalls and finally get one that will deal me 30 kW. it goes up a bit but ultimately settles back down at 30kW. 20 mins later I leave cause I finally got that 10 kWh added. I spend 30 mins total there and wife and kid are agitated, cause it was supposed be a 5 min charge and then off to lunch. I'm scolded never to come here again as this the 3rd time this has happened. We didn't have another car it was in the shop till days end, else I would taken a few mins to drive home and switch cars. Tesla.... Are you reading? Please fix it. It's been like this for nearly a year! Make these urban chargers if you have too. 72 kW is 10x faster than 7 kW. That's a 10X improvement.
agree with you 100%, learned it the way as well lol. They should just revamp the whole place in all 72kW since its next to a mall or maybe V3 if its possible
I wouldn’t be surprised if this Site lease is almost up and Tesla doesn’t want to renew. Easy way to prep customers of not coming to the station is to charge at L2 speeds.
Tesla's standard lease for superchargers is for a 10 year initial period with an option to extend for another 5 years that is solely at Tesla's discretion (i.e. effectively 15 years total). So, I doubt that the lease is ending soon as it hasn't even been 6 full years yet since they took possession.
Maybe its because you named your car SlowTSLA and Elon said they dont make slow cars so your being punished..... but really Rancho is by far the worst Superchargers around. I use Fontana when I need a charge in the area now even if its out of my way it is still worth the extra 5-10 min drive.
How many of you are actually calling Tesla to complain about this? I hope a lot of you. They will listen, and hopefully, they can upgrade this site. I would hope that the current conduit setup would allow for that. Does anyone know if this has been done before?
I have called for Rancho when I used to use it prior to Fontana opening. I have reported a few broken chargers in the past. Nothing recently as I dont live close to Rancho anymore and when I am in the area I use Fontana or San Bernardino.
How do you complain? When you call the number printed on the charger it tells you they are automatically reported and then routes you to the main number. I last did this months ago at one of the Phoenix chargers.
There used to be an email. That was years ago. Anyone know if that still exists? Back in the day, Tesla was super personalized and responsive. Their entire workforce was enthusiastically trying to help.
It's a SlowTSLA. My LR RWD 0-60sec in 4.9sec is slow for a Tesla! I use it's full accceleration all the time and it could be much faster. I used to think Cabazon was the worst, but I think that Cucamonga wins the title now. Cabazon won't deal you 7kW or disconnect you your car, but might have to wait in line for 10-30 mins. Cabazon does consistently deal out 30-40 kW.
im meeting someone for dinner near there and im going to stop by this place around 6 ish. ive never been this far east from LA in model 3. if i get a spot and it charges at 7kw (im leaving la with 88%) thats fine since ill be at dinner anyway. yelp gives it bad reviews and the theme applies here as well. if its full ill just go park at the dinner spot and then when i leave back to la ill hit up fontana. if i have enough juice i may try to get back to burbank...
Burbank to Rancho is only 50 miles. Your car will be fine even in a SR. People drive Tesla's coast to coast all the time. I've driven to northern border at Canada and southern border Tecate, Mexico from Rancho in my model 3. Unfortunately I do have to top off when driving to Tecate. 298 mile round trip is a real stretch for a single charge in a Model 3.
