my wife was there around 3pm and saw 2 workers. she asked them if they where working on the Superchargers. they told her they didn't know what they where working on there. why are chargers so secretive.

This should have a very positive effect on Madonna Inn's business. It's already a destination for many, and now, it will be more of a destination. They are pretty smart making the property available to Tesla.

Never worked in construction, have you. There are very often workers on any project who do not know or care what they are working on.

Stopped by today. Much of the conduit is in. Tesla transformers and chargers on site in wood crates. It’s moving along nicely

Indisputable proof this is a Supercharger station! Woo hoo! Although we will seldom use it, there was the one time if forgot to fully charge the night before a trip to SF and had to drive 55 MPH from Salinas to Gilroy to make it. I was less than popular in the slow lane as tractors were passing me.

Went by today, the super chargers were in crates ready to be installed. Looked like the underground work had been completed. Should not be to long.

To go really SLO would require some Cal Poly students to do something unusual with it.

Drop in behind a Semi and follow about 60 feet back and you'll use less power than going 55.

That’s exactly what I did. A semi was lumbering along at 55 and I set AP and just followed him. It was actually quite low stress with everyone else blowing by me in the fast lane.

[The new Superchargers will be installed at the entrance to the Madonna Inn. Ironically, in the shadow of the old abandoned gas station. A sign at the Atascadero Supercharger confirms that a 10 stall Supercharger will be installed in SLO early2018. Pictures from yesterday during the great wind and rain storm.

Based on the latest photos from @RMan I do not expect this new Supercharger to be operational for at least several weeks.

Progress! Wire delivered today.

 

[PismoPat]

That installation seems to be moving fairly quickly.
