Supercharger - Riverside, CA (LIVE 28 Dec 2017, 24 urban stalls)

[jctees]

Stopped in today around 1:00. S85 and plugged in with about 20%soc. Charger ramped up to the full 72kwh. Charger decreased power as battery became more charged.

Yes Tesla website shows plans for a MoVal location by the end of this year. Riverside wasn’t suppose to be done until end of 2018 either though...

I'm guessing it will be near the shopping center... so technically in Riverside. Either there or the Walmart down the 10 would be good locations but the shopping center one would serve both the 60 and the 215. Both are about 15 minutes from my house so that will be nice to have. I bet they are also the 72Kw chargers.
But back to Riverside's thread:
I've been to this charger before it was finished, and I actually parked there a year or more before and I have never paid to park there, so I can vouch that there are many times that it is free and open. I haven't charged there so I can't give anyone a report on how fast the chargers are. Next time I need to Ill charge and report but by then I doubt anyone will care. Has anyone tried the chargers downstairs yet?

Stopped by yesterday on our way home from Big Bear... About 7 other Tesla's there charging and I got a consistent 70kwh. GPS had a little issue finding the exact parking garage but for those who have a little trouble; it's right across the street from an AYCE sushi place. Pretty interesting place to have a charger; the area reminded me of downtown Oakland for some odd reason.

In a good or bad way?

There is now a sign at the paying booth which indicates that parking is now free for charging Teslas.

Wanted to update everyone on the Riverside Super Chargers. I went to charge today and found that the parking for Tesla SC is now free. When first openned it was not . How ever the management changed the policy just after openning the SC. The top floor has 22 SC and the bottom floor just right of the Gate has two SC. The bottom two SC are designed for handicap but are not legally assigned to Handicap the sign reads. "designed for handicap please use these last." See attached photos.

Charged here on Friday evening. On the way in, the attendant waved us in and it felt almost VIP. Was pretty stoked given parking EVERYWHERE was $10 or worse due to the lights/carnival event. We planned on attending the event anyway so it was like a double freebie when you add in the charge. Parked at the bay closest to the transformers and got 70kW almost immediately. Arrived with around 30% SOC. There was a Model X owner that was having difficulty (he was parked on the opposite end) and I told him to come down by me and plugged into the 3rd one down. When I came back 45 mins later, I was 98% full and he was still sitting there charging so I'm assuming all was well for him after moving. Overall, a great addition to the network. Plenty to do near the parking structure and sounds like the garage is free straight away for Tesla owners moving forward.

MoVal is one of the worst abbreviations I've seen on this forum and that is really saying something!

How’s that? I’ve lived in riverside all my life and MoVal has been the common abbreviation the whole time. Northern Corona became Norco and that is the actual city name now.

 

[cybergates]

anyone figure out restrooms for this charging stop - esp in the evening?

Everyone in riverside area refers to Moreno Valley as MoVal

I just call it Morey.

 

[ryanroland]

I live here so I can say this, but I sometimes refer to it as MoGhetto Valley or Murder Valley.

I hope they put the superchargers at the Costco, but I doubt it because there is a destination charger hotel behind Costco.

 

[MarcoRP]

That means nothing. In Quebec, during the last half of 2017, there were 3 Superchargers installed next to preexisting Destination Chargers

Love this SC!!!

And just today I am now able to configure my model 3!!!!

Finally was able to swing by this place. It’s pretty empty. A lot of stalls, it a lot of people using it. The location after business hours is pretty creepy. Not as creepy as Downtown Vegas. Most of the shoppes are closed, out of business, or empty of customers. It’s 6:00 PM! The streets and sidewalks barely have anyone walking around.

Charging was slow at 42kwh. I was at 40% left capacity.

We were at this site, for the first time, on a recent Friday evening at dusk. There were people dining al fresco at nearby, street-level restaurants. The area seemed clean and we felt safe. Only one other Tesla vehicle was charging, so the SC area was admittedly pretty empty.

That's odd. We only charged for a few minutes, just to familiarize ourselves with the location, but the charge rate was 70 kW as expected. Had I only gotten 42 kW, I definitely would have tried a different stall.

 

[cybergates]

any ideas with the "temporary closure" on the tesla car navi with this site x 2 days?

 

[cybergates]

@BlueShift can you add an icon for a station closed or down for repair? The car map shows temporary closure for this one for the past several days, seemingly confirmed by this plugshare post by 2 ppl who couldn't charge? Thanks!

This charger would have been very convenient for me today. Very unfortunate it was down.
