Supercharger - Sacramento, CA (LIVE 13 Oct 2017)

[PLUS EV]

It's not as if it's impossible to prevent ICEing. Either pull-in stalls or simple traffic cones do the trick.

I avoid going to Arden whenever possible due to the congestion and the tiny tiny parking spaces. Maybe I just don't know the good places to park there but I can't imagine how there would possibly be room for 20 Superchargers.

I have literally taken Uber from downtown Sac to that mall just to avoid having to deal with the parking situation there.

Any news on opening date and progress? I need this supercharger by Sept. 22

Tesla never announces Supercharger opening dates because there are too many variables beyond their control. Anything you read here on TMC will just be a guess.

I would not count on being able to use this new Supercharger location on Sep 22nd. You definitely need to plan your trip using existing locations. Good luck.

definitely won't be ready by 9/22. Sorry. Pic taken was yesterday.

Everytime I swing by there, the gates are locked. Do you just shove your smartphone through the fence entrance to take a picture?

Hard to understand WHY this is taking so long given that weather is no problem at all.......

I take it from the back or sides where it's not fenced. Now that I've said this, I hope they won't fence it off entirely. Although a selfie stick can also be used to take pictures over the fence.

How many stalls? Looks like they have room for up to 12 on Google maps

Now that you've outted yourself to having a self-stick...

Any supercharger in Sacto is nice. Waiting for the Natomas one to open. Easy access from I-80 and I-5.
Arden could work. Rarely go there, but go by there often. Definitely needs to be at the dead end (Sears) not the Best Buy end.
Still waiting to hear if something is coming to Elk Grove. Wouldn't it be a great snub to the EG city council to put one at the ghost mall now that the reservation has control. Even better, a service center!

 

[George Parrott]

Yup, with the imminent arrival of volumes of the Model 3, the Greater Sacramento Area needs another service center/showroom. Not a big fan of an Elk Grove location, but that could be functional with decent demographics for a potential wide range of new Tesla drivers based there.

Natomas progress update...

10 stalls have been mostly installed as the attached picture shows; taken earlier today.

Although the gate was open, I guess I went too late to speak to anyone to get a sense of when it will be open since no one was there.

I'll keep you posted when I revisit the location earlier in the day within a week.

 

[HumanGenome]

Well, did you try plugging in?

 

[ddimit]

About 1-2 weeks of work left. Landscape work, parking lot striping and permit sign off. Was the Transformer placed yet?

 

[beths11]

Thank you so much. This SC will save us an hour travelling South on I-5 10/16th. Looks like it might be ready... fingers crossed.

 

[silvers]

Stopped by today, they are still working on the pedestals. Lines are painted and it looks like the transformers are installed. I'm sure it's a few weeks out still though.

 

[AMPd]

They even painted the parking spots with EV CHARGING ONLY
very cool.
