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

Uhh..why? That placard is correct. 3-phase supply at 227/480V.

Close. It should be 277, not 227.

Oh, good. They're not calling it Carmel Mountain! They named it after the street it's near, which is unusual, but better than naming it after the wrong neighborhood.

I'm curious to see which "future location" actually disappears from the tesla.com/findus page.

I stopped by to charge around 7:30PM last night and there were 5 other cars there. It sure didn't take long for people to find out it's active! Once it's listed on the Tesla map, I'm guessing this one's going to fill up during peak shopping times.

Not only is it showing up, it’s up to 7 in use. I was optimistic to have this available in a pinch, but now I wonder just how overrun this location will be.

You'll be looking back fondly to the day when there were 5 available on a weekend

Agreed. If Tesla would ever send my second HPWC it would be even less of an issue, but there have been a few times where I had a quick turn and couldn’t get enough juice before leaving again. Waiting in line here will still beat charging at 40a or even 72a if I upgrade my circuit. I’ll swing by this afternoon after running some errands just to give it a go.

Completely full as of right now based on my phone

That didn't take long!

Phone is reporting 9/12 available right now here at Camino del Sur. It doesn't appear to have taken much load off Qualcomm - only 1/12 available there right now close to 10:30 PM.

That's strange, my phone shows 11/12 available.

That's strange, my phone shows 11/12 available.

Checked again ~11:20 PM (checked phone and car - numbers between the two are not always the same!):
Camino del Sur: 11/12 available
Carlsbad: 15/20 available
Qualcomm: 0/12 available
A Street: 12/16 available

Glad that Camino del Sur is open - it fills a gap along I15, but it's clear that it's going to take more to take the load off Qualcomm.

It'll take a few weeks for plenty of owners to realize that there's a new location, go check it out, and see whether/how to fit charging there into their schedule instead of at Qualcomm. Not everyone follows the supercharger developments as avidly as those on TMC so lots of them won't already have this figured out beforehand.

Who cares about Qualcomm though? If morons want to keep queuing up there for hours, let them! I am in San Diego County frequently and I just act as though Qualcomm doesn't exist and it works out well. I realize it had been the only option for quite a while but with Tesla building new superchargers in the area, that isn't the case any more and that is a good thing.

 

[bmms8]

I assume Qualcomm is never going to have relief as everyone can charge for free.

Though other chargers are 72kw max - Qualcomm is not consistent with charge speed at all

How do you check open stalls on phone? Is there a different app than the Tesla App?

You need version 3.8 and 2018.48.12 I believe. Go to charging section on app you’ll see it

Reports that the Chargepoint chargers are also functional - priced at 2$/hr for the first 2 hours then 1,80$/hr thereafter

The ChargePoint app says that the first 2 hours are Free, then $2/hr thereafter. This is consistent with typical Target ChargePoint pricing.

Stopped by today about 7:15am for a quick top off just to check it out, and it was wide open. One other car was there when I arrived, but they were gone within a few minutes.

I took the opportunity to grab some drone shots while charging.

Interesting, it was 11/12 full at about 8:45a, hopefully just the morning rush of people trying it out on their way to the office!
