Supercharger - San Luis Obispo, CA (LIVE 5 May 2018, expanded May 2020, 14 V2 + 4 V3 stalls)
- Thread starter jchag
- Start date
I went by the supercharger installation late tonight and they still have technicians working on several of the open equipment cabinets. I asked when they thought it would be open and all they would say was "it's not up to us.". I'm guessing it will be at about a week or so before it is open.

If not there is always Atascadaro. I go up that way a few times a month I usually will stay in Beulton long enough for a round trip but if I know im gonna drive alot in SLO i will just go all the way up and charge in Atascadaro.
The utility transformer is generally the limiting factor (unless it's already there) - expect to wait a few weeks for that to be delivered, then it will need to be connected to the grid and tested by Tesla.
I could be wrong, but I think this might be the utility transformer in this photo Lloyd posted on April 20th.

Yep. I can confirm it is working. I am a little dissapointed Tesla didnt use pink as the color of the chargers to keep it Madonna.@smilepak I saw that post and came here to share it, looks like you beat me
I was thinking the same thing. When I was a kid we always had to stop for gas at that Union station when we were going up 101. The restrooms were a trip. Much to my mother's horror I checked out the women's room architecture once too (I was about 8). My mother was very rule bound.
The station closed before I started at Cal Poly in 1985. The property was looking pretty sad during my CP days, but I think it's now a gift shop or something. Around 2000 we stayed a couple of nights at the Madonna when we were in SLO. A lot of the rooms were threadbare then.
Wow!!! When we first heard this to be a SuC location, we thought "GENIUS".
We occasionally stay at the Madonna (if for no other reason - the kitschy rooms and entertainment). Rooms are a riot !! We have brought a group of friends here ( to do wine searching weekends) and they always love the big band dancing adjoining the steakhouse. The Men's room downstairs is iconic.
If just passing through, there's always a good reason to stop at the coffee shop/ ice cream parlor - mostly to grab a piece of one of those cakes they are known for. And use the pink sugar.
As far as charging - maybe if passing, but not if staying overnight. The charger location (as mentioned next to the old gas station) precludes any ICEing as the main parking lot is about 200 yds closer to the hotel/restaurant.
More shopping and eating choices across the road. Access to 101 couldn't be better.
THINK PINK !!!!
Somebody's gotta park a Pink wrapped Tesla there.

@Lloyd I’m shocked it took you three days after it became operational to visit this new Supercharger.
