Supercharger - San Mateo, CA - Park Place (LIVE, 8 V2 stalls)

[GRA]

I got it, I got it, the 4th pic is the odd one out!

Ah, but did you spot Waldo? :biggrin:

The 4th pict is actually at the San Mateo SC directly across from the stalls. It's a nice place with Whole Foods, a bunch of restaurants, Starbucks, Peet's, and a Crunch gym.

Bumping this thread.

Anyone know when this supercharger will open?

Anyone know when this supercharger will open?

I was told in early June that it would be open in 3-4 weeks. Which has already passed. I'll probably swing by again today to check on it.

I pass by every morning entering 101S from Foster City. There's still fencing around the whole thing, but the chargers look complete with bags removed. I imagine they're waiting for PG&E to ok it or something...

Upstairs: Cinder block wall was being constructed, Gate hinges etc. . Gate doors enclosing the Superchargers and transformer need to be hung. CB wall needs to be painted. Site clean up and inspections. Site testing. Finals. Downstairs: fencing around utility cabinets is not complete. Site clean up there as well. Final inspections etc. testing. My guess another week, maybe two!

Gordo my condolences, I take 101S every morning from Foster City, getting on in the morning and getting off the freeway from 101N in the evening is a major biotch.

Drove by last night and the green fence is still up, SC's are uncovered. The cinder blocks around the power supply is up and finished. This could be another week or two before they clean up and finalize the small details.

It's OPEN!! I drove by this evening at 6:30PM and the guy presssure washing the area told me that they just opened up. So what do I do?! I roll in and start SC! First customer of the San Mateo SC!!

Well done, Raul! Thanks for the update.

@raulsmith, you have joined a small and very select group of Tesla owners who have inaugurated new Superchargers. Congratulations! [emoji3]

 

[ken830]

Yay! Can't wait to check this out. Now if only this Whole Foods would get some of those miniature shopping carts, my 2-year-old wouldn't make us go to the Redwood City store.

EDIT: Why did the thread title change to "Went LIVE on 07-07-2015"? Shouldn't that be July 9th?

@ken380, thanks for catching that, my mistake, I've made the correction.

 

[Khatsalano]

Thanks for the update. I was diligently stalking this SC every day this week after work to try to get first charge. Last night, I happened to spend my evening working ... bad call.

What?! You locals are already clogging up the SC! Elon is going to have to send you a message! j/k :wink:

 

[MarcG]

Nice, I'll probably stop by tomorrow to check it out. I'm curious to know if it has the same thin liquid-cooled cables as Mountain View.

 

[ecarfan]

I think there was a post up thread that this Supercharger does not have the new thinner cables.

 

[Khatsalano]

No, this SC has the regular cables. Only Mountain View has the new liquid cables.

Took the kids to dinner here this evening... I figured I might grab a quick charge to inaugurate the location if it wasn't busy, but my gosh if there weren't at least 6 Model S charging @ 5:30pm. I drove past and headed into the garage to park out of the sun for dinner. Exited a different way later, so not sure whether it died down.

I think this place is gonna be one of the busiest chargers around for quite a while.

Man, I just moved away from the San Mateo area 2 weeks ago to the Dublin area. I'll have to come visit sometime.

Looking forward to the Dublin charger and service center in the (hopefully) near future.
