Supercharger - San Diego, CA - Balboa Ave. (LIVE 18 Nov 2020, 16 V3 stalls)

[smitty825]

I’ve charged at a v3 only 2-3 times before but your kw’s sound about right. Rarely stays in 120kw range for long, right?

Just based on my experiences in the past with a V3 supercharger, I'd expect that it would start around 180kw, and slowly taper down. I typically get >100kw until my battery is about 55% full. (Granted, there are a million things that affect charging speeds...maybe my battery wasn't warm enough, etc)

At least the electrons were free (I wasn't charged for my charging session according to Tesla, but TeslaFi says my charging session cost $986.11, so I hope I don't get a surprise bill )

Didn’t take long first time to see this place all full glad these are V3s!

I get the feeling with the overall lack of V3 and even V2 supercharging (not counting urban) in the area these will probably be crazy busy. On the plus side at least they should theoretically turn over quickly.

Anybody know has there been long queues or is turnover pretty fast so far?

Few days ago I saw a queue of three but no one waited longer than ten min the turnover was quick

I’ve never seen a queue here and I’ve charged here several times

Visiting in the area and Charged here while shopping at a really nice Vons. They had everything on our list and noticed they had several items there that were missing at our home Safeway. Nice shopping here while Charging our Model S.

4 car queue and pulling only 15 kW makes for a long Saturday at the Balboa Supercharger!

Are charging speeds back to normal? lots of visitors to SD this weekend for the holiday weekend. I guess they were all waiting for covid to be done.

Looks good. 120kW for my older tech X. Most I ever see.

This place is sad. Slow.

Wait is under 5 minutes. After I pulled in, seven spots opened up.

That's because your car is old. I drive the same exact model as you. Hard to get anything over 100kW nowadays, even on V3

Interesting. So the older models chargers slower as they age?
