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

[Stereoshopper]

One stall? The entrance? The whole location?

One stall. On a Sunday afternoon when this location is super busy.

Is this site being expanded? Looks like a trench with conduit perpendicular to the present stalls.

Those are precast bases for full-size (non-urban) pedestals. Looks like they are adding V3s here.

Not open yet ..hopefully open before Thanksgiving ..unfortunately the placement leads itself to folks possibly parking on both sides ..similar to San Gabriel ..but can’t complain 24 V3s!

Great to see this expansion! Does anyone know if the 24 Urban Superchargers are still there or were they replaced with V3?

They’re still there, across from each other. Stopped there earlier today and there were about 15-20 free at any given time, split across V3 and urban ones.

Many of the V3 users appeared to be in their cars while the urban SC users appeared to be gone - good user behavior given the latter takes longer.

I didn’t really step out of the car to count but both had about half a dozen spots open at any given time. This was last weekend on an evening right in the middle of the holiday shopping rush.

Given the parking crush, I was glad the Tesla folks were seemingly being diligent about moving their cars when done - I never noticed the number of open chargers dropping below about 8-10 at any time.

Is the cost to charge the same between the urban and V3 chargers?

My guess would be yes it would be the same as Tesla charges based on kwh delivered to the car but I am not positive.

Sorry no idea . Mine is a FUSC car so the cost everywhere is $0.00

Second quick stop on my way to Tijuana last night. It was close to 11 pm and this place was busyyyyy. There were 2-3 V3 stalls empty for a quick moment. And 5-10 of the urban chargers taken. I can imagine how crazy this location gets dur4ing the daytime and holidays, woow.

I stopped here a couple times over the last few days. Very busy on both the urban and V3 aisles on a Sunday afternoon. Never saw a line but never more than a couple open stalls at a time that were quickly taken. V3 stalls provide such quick turnover that I wasn't too concerned with the "short wait" message on the Nav as I approached. It teetered between 2-4 open stalls and "short wait" on the red pin on the nav screen as I approached for about 30 min. Even after the Pearl Jam concert at 12:30a, there were probably 10-15 cars charging. Overall, a solid site that delivered good V3 power. Biggest concern during the midday charge was non-teslas zooming down the aisle going waaaay too fast and not expecting cars to stop and back into a stall.

For the most part, my exact experience when I charged there two weeks ago. Also, at the time the nav routed me and several other Teslas to enter from the south side which was temporarily closed. I and they drove back around and entered from the north which appears to be the main entrance. Not sure what the situation is now.
