Supercharger - San Diego, CA - Camino Del Sur (Black Mountain Ranch area, LIVE 11 Jan 2019)

[PLUS EV]

Since urban superchargers are still paired (but 50/50 instead of a dynamic ratio), I'm not sure that an odd number would really be a clue. But maybe Tesla has some sort of half-supercharger they can deploy for these situations?

Agree with this. Odd number doesn't offer any clue whatsoever.

Zero doubt this will be open by year's end and possibly before Thanksgiving.

I admire your optimism. But experience shows that it may be misplaced. We shall see...

Stopped by today. Perimeter fences were being taken down. Tesla SC signs on post are up. Getting closer to opening

I'm no expert, but this inspection status looks promising!

Nice! Appears to be pushed to 11/13/2018 now

They are doing testing on each unit it looks like. As I suspected, the 2 closest spots are now handicapped, which explains why they trenched to that area. They also have a model 3 which I wonder if they are using for functional testing or something.

And who rolled through in the white x on 22s while I was walking the perimeter? I saw someone come through the parking area then leave.

That’s a Model S, but exciting to see they’re so close to completion.

Hah, I guess I was too busy looking at the chargers and trying to be stealthy with my camera shots. Good catch.

Truly impressive how fast this Supercharger came together! Tesla had promised 5 stations in San Diego by the end of 2018...and it’s still possible. Incredible work.

I'm guessing the only other possible one could be Fashion Valley to be done by end of 2018? Or maybe soon after that. After this one and Fashion Valley, I wonder what might be next in the county...

 

[N13MS]

Fashion Valley seems next in line, but Escondido or Vista could be a dark horse.

...Tesla had promised 5 stations in San Diego by the end of 2018...

Where/when was this? Was it that there would be 5 total by 2018-end or that they would build 5 additional in the county by the end of the year (i.e. including Qualcomm, 6 total)?

 

[jowaldo]

When the downtown SC had it's opening ceremony, the Tesla rep said that. Can't remember if he said 5 total or 5 more.

I think he said 10 more in SD county within the next year.

Amazing! I’m loving how quick this site went up immediately after the last quarter ended. Wish there were more but I’ll take it! Also still need something along the 15 corridor as this is a little bit inland but I’ll take it!

I stopped by on Saturday to take a look. This is down the street a bit from my work. I don't think I've ever been down this far on this road until today.

It looks like there is one main bank, then 3 more SuC plus some non SuC around the corner. I wonder if the Non-supercharger variety will be L2 or DCFC of some kind.

[edlin303]

Just a little googling and this other 3 chargers seem to look like ChargePoint l2. If this Target with similar looking chargers is typical (no idea if it is) looks like first 2 hours are free. Sad to see it’s not a full 15 superchargers, but I think the original permit actually did say 12 plus 2 or 3 l2 chargers so it makes sense.

 

[miimura]

The skinny stations by the handicap spaces are definitely ChargePoint L2 stations. This is typical for Target Store locations.

It looks like the final failed today, but I heard the power has been out over there so it's possible they couldn't complete it due to the power outage.

It's been out all over the county -- even the SDG&E power outage map is out. Classic SDG&E
