Supercharger - San Jose, CA - Santana Row (26 urban stalls)

[Dag]

Most of the wiring from last weekend looks to have been installed. Junction box and transformer area no longer have wires bunched up outside. The electrical cabinets inside the basement level haven't moved.


Concrete prep-work is underway.


The PG&E transformers and site inspection seem to moving closer.

 

[Dag]

Transformers! Finish line is in sight.


Concrete is complete.


2 new urban chargers in the valet area.

I’m guessing Santana row is open now? Surprised no one posted yet.

Yeah, Tesla beat us to it.

Happened to have to come here and went to check it out. Only 4th floor is online when I looked. HPWC max out at 32AMP was too cheap to pay for for supercharging. One hidden behind the elevator.

Thanks, thread title updated.

Hope we can get an accurate stall count soon.

Parking lot floor was empty yet one Jeep decided to park in the charging spot. I imagine lots of ICEing on the weekend.

Yup, it''s open. Here are pics from the 4th floor. HPWCS and Urban Charger's 6A thru 18B
Before anybody asks, no I'm not charging to 95%

Are the urban stalls generally numbered in the A/B format? Not sure I’ve seen that before. I assume they are not load sharing because you are charging at 72.

HPWCS and Urban Charger's 6A thru 18B

I'm going to assume this means that 1A through 5B are elsewhere and there are a total of 36 chargers?

Currently the app shows 28 stalls, but I'm not sure if that includes the 1st floor or not. I don't think there are 28 urban total on the 4th floor, but I didn't circle the whole floor so maybe there are more on the other side. There were about 16 HPWC on the 4th floor and maybe 10 or so on the 1st floor outside the structure. Probably another 12 urban chargers as well on the 1st floor. When I left maybe 5 spots were ICE'd as the garage was getting full. Will be interesting to see how lines will form when the chargers get full, imagine it will be chaos as other folks are trying to find spots.

Yes they are still designated # A/B because while the available power is evenly split at 72 kW max for both, they still share a supercharger cabinet.

According to one of the valet guys the separate lot with 8 Superchargers and HPWCs is for valet only. That lot is currently off, but maybe opening this Thursday (he thinks). The 2 Superchargers on the 1st floor are coned off with valet signs and I'm not sure if they're working. @Chuq

So for the Superchargers

• 4th floor: 26 online
• 1st floor: 2 unknown
• Valet lot: 8 offline
• Total: 36

Tesla may end up listing the "open access" and "valet access" superchargers as separate locations, similar to what they do for separated dual sites that serve directional highway traffic (e.g. one for northbound and one for southbound traffic).

In all dual sites, the stalls are numbered independently. This is true even for the Lenox Square superchargers in Atlanta.

The valet supercharger at Lenox Square is all the way on the other side of the mall from the public supercharger so they obviously have separate transformers and electrical. I have not seen the set up at Santana Row so not sure if it's the same there. I think the main purpose for numbering the stalls of an urban supercharger is not for the users (us), but rather for the guys doing maintenance and repairs.

Have you traveled through CT? Check out the charger numbering in Milford (I-95), Darien, and Greenwich.

Thanks, for now I’ll go with that number in the thread title. The Tesla website Find Us page still doesn’t even show the new Santana Row Supercharger.

Saw this sign on the ground floor near the Tesla test drive car area, not yet being used, but yes, looks like there'll be "valet supercharging". I assume they will rotate the cars through the ground floor chargers, but I wonder how they will allocate time - i.e. will they charge up to 80% or 90% or depends on how busy...
