Supercharger - San Diego, CA - Friars Road (Mission Valley, LIVE 31 Jan 2019, 24 Urban + 24 V3 stalls)

[twonius]

Drove by to take a look last night and 4 of the chargers on the far end were unwrapped. Maybe testing?

Asked in the store and they didn't know anything. Said "this month maybe"

Six months definitely?

Six months definitely?

I guess i should just be thankful the federal government isn't involved.

FYI, there was an additional "Final" inspection completed on Friday, and the result was "Partial Pass", and it notes for a second time that the contractor needs to get the meter number for release:

Final [Partial Pass]: Bump stops ok, contractor needs to obtain meter # for release. All else ok​

Maybe they're waiting for it to stop raining

Drove by there last evening (Thursday). No signs of recent activity; nothing has changed since the report of a few chargers having been unwrapped. There's no power; I checked by plugging in.

It was raining but fortunately no sign of flooding. We did notice that the bottom floor of the parking garage was chained off. Good precaution.

If they were and they needed a wall around it then Pelosi would give a $1, we may have to start a gofundme to complete the project, haha

We're gonna end up with a 110V outlet on one of those hot tub timers then.

FYI..at Carlsbad supercharger the kWh is now 31 cent and at 4S Ranch it is 34 cent.
Will be interesting to see what it will be here.

I drove by last night and there were a few more stalls with the garbage bags taken off, but they are still not operational. Hopefully that means that they were testing them. The wait continues...

A street SC in Downtown San Diego is at $0.35

I heard Tesla dropped their supercharger prices by 10% since last weekend due to push back.

I'm checking the inspection status daily, still no official "Pass" and thus there is still some sort of hold-up getting a "Meter Release #" (not familiar with this)

Looks like the guy at Tesla who was responsible for coordinating final inspections was part of that 7% group.

Funny, but not funny. Sigh.

Yes I had seen that the same A street SC in San Diego that was previously $0.35 is now $0.31, others in CA are from $0.27 to $0.32

They raised it 30% and then they dropped it 10%. Similar to their hiring practices as of late.

Did it open yet?

Based on the wording "contractor needs to obtain meter # for release" in the inspection status it seems more like a contractor issue.

BUT

Your comment spurred me to check on our buddy at Tesla who handles much of the permitting throughout SoCal (at least his name is on the 2018 SD supercharger permits, if anyone cares to look it up). He has a VLOG and apparently he got some interesting news about work last week that he wouldn't talk about. Weird. Anyway, if you're curious what I mean and have 9+ minutes to kill (or play it at 1.5x speed), look for /watch?v=KADLQnutbhs on youtube.

Watched the video, but he basically just said he couldn't talk about it right now.
