Supercharger - Santa Monica, CA - Santa Monica Place (LIVE 19 Feb 2019, 14 urban stalls)

[sperkin]

From a logical standpoint, I would think it's okay to use it as long as you stay with your car while charging. Then if someone with a handicapped placard arrives, you need to unplug and go to the back of the line (or move on if you have enough charge). I am not talking about legal technicalities however.

I just spoke to a police that was writing tickets there for Tesla's without front plates. She said no one can park or charge there unless you have a handicap plate or placard.

A black Model X just received a ticket and she may be giving a ticket to the Black Model 3 that's charging in the handicapped charger.

Please post here if you received a ticket.

It amazes me that the Santa Monica police are going inside a parking structure to write tickets for cars without front plates. I am definitely never going to use this Supercharger.

Could they be referring to the (non-sworn) parking enforcement personnel? That’s the type that issue cites in the city-owned Beverly Hills parking structures.

I am not sure. The little golf cart says POLICE on it in blue and she was in a blue police uniform. I didn't pay any attention if she had a gun or not. I know some cities uses parking maids with yellow lights and white uniforms which are not Police.

Either way, I think they will write tickets for cars without front plates and parked in handicap spaces.

Strange how they dedicated a handicap spot as a charging spot.

Was there today, it can get pretty busy. We got lucky as we arrive a car is leaving with no one waiting in front of us. 30 mins later, over 6-8 tesla waiting.

Give this is a spot busy area, 10 spot is fairly limited. I wonder will they add more once the Tesla store opens. It said coming soon.

All,
im going down to santa monica tomorrow around 630 ish. i've not been down to SM since COVID. Are these chargers still accessible? since COVID is here, do you all think it will still be packed like it would normally be? sure I can just check the app tomorrow but would like to ask the class their thoughts...

im used to charging at glendale where parking is temporarily free so ive been spoiled a bit since i got the car (march 27th)

thanks bro. started my journey and saw 3/10 avail, then as i got closer 2/10. i pulled up and i snagged the last stall with a car that came up right behind me a couple minutes after i parked.

the chargepoints were deserted but the urban chargers were in full use. still got ~67 kwh which is what i see over at glendale.

18 stall expansion coming soon

18 stall expansion coming soon

Nice find. I would actually read that description as likely having a typo in it and meaning a 6 stall expansion, not 18 stalls. If you assume that the "V3" mention was in error and the supercharger cabinets will be the V2 type you'd expect to see when adding urban stalls, the description makes a lot more sense. It lists the total number of new cabinets (3) and the total number of new charging posts (6), and these numbers agree between cabinet-type and post-type (2:1 ratio for urban), and they are of the type that are already existing at the supercharger, i.e. Tesla isn't mixing urban stalls with V3 stalls.

Looks like this one is finally underway! This is one of the busiest locations I've seen, so glad to have more stalls. They are also building out the new location at Cloverfield near I-10 with 250kw v3, so Santa Monica is looking much much better.

I count 3 new V2 cabinets for an expansion of 6 more urban stalls. The V3 mention in the permit is just a typo/error.

 

[ElectricCyclist]

I have heard that this is one of the busiest Supercharger locations in California looking forward to seeing some type of expansion but more so getting the other locations in Santa Monica online.

 

[Cw__b]

Looks like the in-car screen is now showing 16 stalls, so the expansion is complete?

 

[attathomeguy]

Really hope these extra spots are online as I will be in Santa Monica all week next week and my hotel doesn't say what kind of charging it has but I know it isn't Tesla destination charging

Could someone post some kind of visual confirmation of the expansion being completed and operational? Like a picture with the new stalls, or a screenshot from the nav or mobile app with an updated stall count?

Thanks!

Bruce.

Just noticed sc.info still reports 10 stalls, so I'll update this to 14 now (assuming the other two haven't popped up? Tesla website says 14).
