Anybody know what’s going on here? It’s been temporarily shut down for the last couple days. View attachment 920551

I've marked this as temporarily closed on supercharge.info. Please report back when it's open.

try and charge it may work

Hope they’re working to reduce the charging rates. It’s ridiculously expensive

that location has too many people charging which is why the high rates. It's crazy

There appear to be a large number of additional Temp Closures in SoCal today to match the ones in NorCal I saw yesterday. Highland, Mojave, Barstow, Bakersfield. Very curious

I think @cpa has an interesting theory that Tesla is experimenting with taking certain sites offline during periods of low usage to minimize operating costs.

Could also be upgrades, maintenance or maybe installing MagicDocks.

I'm voting for magic dock installs... no reason for Tesla to overbuild capacity and then shut down various sites. Makes more sense to convert the extra capacity into revenue generators (and brand building) by opening up these sites to non-Teslas

This is a very high usage site. Very! Neither taking it offline for low usage or adding magic docks to increase usage make any sense, but maybe we'll see. It leaves a big hole in the supercharger availability in the San Gabriel area.
It's closure on Friday was a huge inconvenience for me as I didn't even realize it was gone till half way through a long trip through LA.
Having it closed for a long period is a big deal for those of us who use it regularly.
On Thursday there was no sign of anything happening at the site. Just yellow tape in front of the superchargers.

oh please oh please oh please. I would love this. I also promise if I ever am fortunate enough to be near a Magic Dock Supercharger and need to charge to go forward on my drive, I will do everything in my power to take the proper spot or a non-charging spot on the sides, etc.

Also, please do not sneer at me when you see me I was once one of you.

Are those Audis 400 volts cars like the VWs or are they higher like the Porsches?

 

[FOOLSLFDRVNG]

Rumors have it Elon loves hot pot and boba and Tesla is opening a pilot restaurant.

 

[BigDaddyKevin]

SGV location certainly doesn't need magic dock, it's practically full with Tesla charging at all hours, magic dock will make it worse with the wait time.

Has anyone been by any of these chargers to see why they show Temp Closure? Sure would make more sense than just making up stories about why it might be closed.

I drove by this location this morning but only for a glance from the street. All charging posts were wrapped with yellow caution tape.

I gave up and bought the ccs adapter. Now I charge at the evgo chargers in El Monte, and the rates are better but ghetto area.

 

[ebmcs03]

Still closed? I haven’t seen any work on them last week when I drove by.

This was a very heavily used site. Every time I go even at 1 am to get the low rates so waited 40 mins.

I just checked yesterday 4/18/23 on Yelp before going there in case it's closed. And someone posted on 4/17/23 that it is still closed. No clue why or how long it will be closed for. So annoying as this is the closest one near my work.

Drove by last night and confirm this location is still closed and taped off...

from what I heard Focus Plaze was sold to the a new company. The company that bought it took over the 99 Ranch Market for now. I do not remember the name of the new market. if you look many stores are now empty with brown paper over the windows. They will start working on the end where the market and superchargers are. not sure if it will be a complete rebuild with condos on the top like the other developments across the street or a rebuilt of just the shops.

 

[smoothisfast]

This current closure may not be related but large construction is coming. We should get ready.
