Supercharger - Roseville

[tenstringer009]

we will indeed. But, I-80 needs more love near and beyond the north shore of Tahoe. I wouldn't want to dogleg through Hawthorne to go cross-country.

Agreed. The projected map shows one coming online around Humboldt Lake and another around Elko by the end of the year. I'd think getting from Roseville to Humboldt would be tight given the amount of elevation gain you'd be facing going over the Sierras.

Regardless, huge thanks to Tesla for putting in the Roseville supercharger to satisfy those of us who travel to the North side of Lake Tahoe. Definitely looking forward to using it over the summer.

Exactly my thoughts GG. 2015 SC map doesn't bring any hope for eastbound travel along I-80 without a big detour via South or North. Hoping for a nice surprise from Tesla though.

I-80 through Nevada on the End of 2014 map looks really sketchy. The dots on the map appear to be Roseville - 208mi - Lovelock - 196mi - Elko - 230mi - Salt Lake. Personally, I think it should be Roseville - Truckee - Lovelock - Winnemucca - Elko - Wendover - Salt Lake. JMHO.

FYI, I got there with 29 left miles yesterday. Max charging rate on my b pack was 120, even though the chargers say 135. It stayed that way until 59 miles, when it started to taper. All good, just means 135 is better for splitting charge with 2 cars.

Heh, they are going to put one in truckee... Then we will beg for one in Auburn.

Looking at the latest Supercharger page on the Tesla Motors site, Truckee does not show up even in 2015.

That map is highly subject to change, however. The final number of superchargers that exist at the end of 2015 will likely be much higher than Tesla estimates on that map.

That's true. Roseville wasn't even on the map a couple months ago.

Personally, I don't think Roseville is a good choice. Yes it makes more sense for reaching North Lake Tahoe and i would like to see in every freeway but with Folsom nearby its saving very little.
I would have appreciated if it was some ware in Woodlands.
1. Its equal distance from Folsom and Vacaville.
2. There is already a Roadster charger (i have never seen used)
3. Inside shopping complex
4. Outside city
5. Gives equal distance to next station at Conning

In my view it will help someone staying in Roseville but not a wise choice.

Roseville's perfectly located for 60s to reach North Lake Tahoe. Folsom is an avoidable detour.

Roseville is also good for people coming from Napa Valley and going to see their family in Fallon, NV. Going over the 7300 foot Boreal Pass (or Donner Summit, as you will) sucks a lot of electrons, and although you can regain some of it, it is mighty nice hitting Reno and not having to go looking for a charger. For that matter, you would have enough to come back over the hill from Reno to Roseville *if you drive like I do* and no one wants to do that. I go the extra 65 miles to Fallon, charge at my brother's house, and come home the next day. Stopping at Roseville for a quick snack for our car.

It is easy to use 180 miles going the 115 miles to Reno.

Of course, *some* people prefer Tahoe. Roseville is good for that, too, even if they do have an 85.

Charging at Roseville

Not sure if this is the correct place for this, charging at Roseville today.

 

[MikeL]

Nice ! I'll be thinking of this moment when I pull into that exact spot sometime in the (near/distant) future (depends on perspective)
:smile: ML

This is the "correct" place for posts about the Roseville supercharger, but the main thread is here:
Supercharger - Roseville, CA

I don't want to be all OCD about thread classification, but I wish the mods would move threads about North America charging to the North America subsection, and out of the main "Charging Standards and Infrastructure" section. As it is, I have to look in both places for a thread about a particular Supercharger, unless I can remember which one it's in.

Rumors are floating of a possible charger at the service center still, or elsewhere. One rep told me there were 3 or 4 planned for the northern sac area and drive to Tahoe. I wouldn't be surprised if there is still one going in at the service center. Also, I think by the airport (and i5), auburn and maybe Truckee.

well, Truckee has been introduced to the map...

This is fantastic! Next winter's going to be so much fun with numerous trips to the north shore. My son can't get enough of snowboarding. Hope we get enough snow.

Does anyone know how the stalls are paired? I couldn't find any labeling when I was there today.

 

[Yombad]

I'm fairly sure that the first 3 stalls are shared with the last 3, with the middle one not shared. Starting sequentially from the supercharger cabinet, 1 shares with 5, 2 shares with 6, 3 shares with 7, and 4 is not shared. Not sure why they were never labeled.

Thanks.

+1 for Truckee. This is the key for the Tahoe Basin and for the I80 route. Tesla are you listening?

Our prayers have been answered!

[napabill]

Anyone else noted that there doesn't seem to be any identifier on each charging slot. So can't know if you're using a shared charger unless you assume it is the one next to you.
