Supercharger - Santa Nella, CA (LIVE, 48 V3 stalls)

[Familyfirstj]

The amenities Hotel Mission de Oro offers at this supercharger location are phenomenal! They have a full restaurant, lounge, bar, wine museum, sitting area, billiards, and even eventual wine tasting planned! Restrooms are close to superchargers and adjacent to lounge, restaurant and sitting area. They even have a grab and go station near front desk if you are doing just a short charge.

The nav and Find Us are now displaying 32 stalls available

There are 32 stall operational and 16 that are under wraps. It seems like there’s a new transformer on its way.

Isn't that size pad more for another set of chargers or a MegaPak? I know a similar pad is sitting at the freshly opened Harris Ranch (aka Coalinga). Transformers are typically a 1/3rd that size

I am pretty sure you are correct that this is for a future Megapack. I think the large PGE transformer installed can service all 48 stalls but maybe somewhere on the utility line there is a limitation that PGE is working out before full power can be realized.

Looking back at the photo's there appears to be two transformers. Either the second larger one needs transmission line upgrades or Tesla wants to install the megapack before energizing.

Megapack confirmed.

Woot! Thought so. I really expected these sooner, but then that is true of EVERYTHING Tesla. Now that Lathrop is up and producing more and more MegaPacks hopefully future sites that have the space will dedicate a pack to saving money on electric rates.

Im sure it’ll save Tesla money but whether that is passed on to us is yet to be seen.

If you are a shareholder and a car owner, you win with the megapack regardless

Now, only 12 are open. I was here on 4/16. Site was offline earlier in the week and now more are covered like at Harris Ranch.

They are working on adding more, and it will be down for a few months... But some stalls will stay open. Plus they have some across the street

Across the street?? You on the other side of Highway 5 about 1/2 mile up the road. Not sure why they’re adding more when the entire site has never been open. Something doesn’t seem right, especially when they just added a megapack.

Prepping for 4th of July and then Thanksgiving? The day you need enough chargers for EVERYONE

The site was open for months and we just held an event there last weekend (that's when the owner notified me that pg&e was going to shut down more than half of the chargers for power that needs to be run from the Megapack to their other site so that all buildings have power)

Exactly! The owner tried to ask PG&E to push it back, but they refused

The planning around this site is abysmal

 

[Mrbrock]

Wait, they are taking power from the chargers for a hotel building? Or they took power from the hotel to build the chargers? This is why there are plan checks.

Something is going on here. New fences in the last few weeks.
