Supercharger - San Ramon (LIVE 30 Aug 2018, 10 stalls)

[Jerry Ham]

Saw this via a local Tesla owners Facebook group today. I could believe this...from the data I have, the San Ramon Supercharger seems to be pretty consistently full or close-to-full between about 0800 and 2000.

I certainly believe it. I work across Bollinger Canyon from there (about 1/2 mile away) and although I've only charged there once (for my "I charged there" list), I can't help tapping the icon for it on my Nav screen every day when I leave work (at 2:30 pm). It is full just about every time. Once in a great while it shows 1 available. As I leave work I almost always see one or two other Teslas turning towards that Target and the charger.

Yes. I was there last Tuesday at noon and the in-car status showed all 10 occupied. I got there and two were open. So I can maybe blame latency. But at least i got a spot.

Latency is usually only a minute or two (or maybe less!) in my experience. But there is also the issue of cabinets not "communicating" properly which leads to certain stalls showing as occupied when they are not (The reverse never seems to happen).

I happened on this thread and thought I would mention that there are apparently at least 16, maybe 20 superchargers going in near the intersection of Crow Canyon Road and highway 680 in San Ramon. It was screened to a bit hard to see. It doesn't show on the map as yet, but I happened past there yesterday and the construction was obvious. On the map, it would be on the corner of Twin Creeks Drive and Crow Canyon Road in the Diablo Plaza shopping center. That should relieve some of the pressure on Target and and the Dublin Tesla Service Center.

Here's the thread for that installation (20 urban-style chargers, btw): Supercharger - San Ramon - 2415 San Ramon Valley Blvd (Construction started Dec 2018)

Now limits charging to 80% probably due to how busy it can get

7:00am to 9:00am is almost always a line of people charging right before work. From 9:00am until about 11:00 am (before lunch time), there is only a couple cars at any given time.

Tesla starts limiting charge to 80% at busy Superchargers to reduce wait times - Electrek

But, you can remove that limit by just sliding the capacity bar to the right to remove the limitation. It just defaults to 80% when you start charging.

Drove by this station a couple days ago and it looks to be closed off? Anyone know whats going on?

 

[ElectricLee]

Lets hope for V3!

 

[KSilver2000]

Not sure, but two stalls (1A and 1B) were both out of service for a while before the whole station went down.

Hi All,
I know this is an older post about the San Ramon Target chargers & Safeway location chargers. I just drove by the superchargers at Target this morning and they all had caution tape wrapped around them. Any one know if these are getting upgraded?

Any updates on this? Still closed as far as I know.

Is it true the Target Superchargers in San Ramon are going to be closed? I know Diablo Plaza has 20 stalls now.

Where'd you hear that?

Not as far as I know, and no one has posted anything to that effect.

So if you are going to raise a question like that, it would be helpful if you provided a source for that information.

Anyone know why they are closed? I was at Target yesterday and yellow tape is still wrapped around all chargers.

I think there needs to be a term for a Tesla taking an L2 charger spot. TSLAing? With all the supercharger spots down, there was a bunch of TSLAing of the L2 chargers.

My screen says temporary closure. I also noticed today there were repair trucks working on the chargers at Diablo Plaza. ??? I didn't have time to stop and check it out.

 

[CitiesSprinter]

Maybe they are installing the battery backups that Elon was talking about?

<facetious>
I think the term you're looking for is "saving" because the L2 spots are free for four hours.
