Supercharger - Santa Rosa, CA (LIVE 20 Nov 2019, 20 V3 stalls)

[Pluto]

Just back from Coddington Mall and heres an update. These chargers are up and running but five have yellow tape around them presumingly inop. There are 8 chargers on one side and 12 on the other. The single inop station is on the 8 side.
Funny thing, they seem to be installed backward. It seems like its a much longer reach to plug in the car than the other Superchargers. Like they painted the lines in the wrong place. Probably me not remembering the other Superchargers

Thank you for the update!
I've seen the same exact thing at Rohnert Park. You just need to back up further, basically until your wheels hit the parking stop. See this thread: Supercharger - Rohnert Park CA (LIVE 9 May 2019, 12 stalls)

That is why the parking stops are placed where they are. Back up until your wheels touch, and then you are in the right position to conveniently charge.

Makes sense. I had not hit the parking stop.

One more item to my update yesterday. About a month ago I went to the Coddington mall to check the progress and noticed that a pedestal in the group of 8 was lying on the ground. When I tried to put in back into its holder I saw that it would not remain there. The locking mechanism was broken.
It was the same pedestal in the photo that I posted yesterday as being inop with some yellow tape. I think that spot will work properly and that the yellow tape is there to indicate that the locking mechanism is broken.
Maybe someone can check this out?

I charged in the late afternoon and only about 8 units are operating. On charger started out strong and then went to 8kw.
My highest charging rate was 99kw. My app would not work at this charging station.
Many bad stalls are marked with yellow caution tape or the charging hoses are hung over the top of the charging station.
I was thrilled to get something tonight.
It has been months of anticipation.

I see that you have a 2016 90D. What KW do you normally get from V2 SC at that state of charge? Just curious if this V3 is turned down to start or whether your car is throttled down or otherwise slow charging?

Looks like it’s shut down again?

Today it says 15/16....

There were at least 8 or 9 cars here charging on Thanksgiving.

Several drivers found their model 3s don't connect easily to the angled parking charging spaces. Be aware.

That model 3 with plate ending in 226 is parked on the wrong side of the Supercharger. It is designed to be used from the straight side, not the angled side.

I was there on Sunday 11/24 just to check it out (oh, and forgot to charge the night before and was running errands all over the county ...). Hit 170kW for a little while. Nice.

Charged my MS today, 11/28. There are 16 stalls that work and now shows up on the maps! Finally!!

Charged there today. Not impressed with V3.
Granted I have a classic Model S with rev B 85kWh battery, but the charge rate started at only 90kW around 15% state of charge (battery was warm from a 2 hour drive), and quickly tapered down to 30kW even before hitting 70% SOC.
I usually get better speeds at most V2 superchargers

Tried 5 chargers before getting one that works. Several cables/handles laying on the ground; others have yellow tape attached to the cable. I hope it’s not vandalism here. The working one got me up to 208kW charging my M3D at almost 900 mph from a low 56 m left battery, but by SOC 165 miles it’s 129kW and 525 mph. Still, fastest charging ever!

 

[JGerardin]

Just back from charging and what a mess. Only 8 chargers were working and those had very low output. So many cars trying all the pedestals only to find that pluging in produced a red circle. I started at one and with 10% battery got only 37 kW. Five minutes later it just quit charging with red light at the port. Did manage to find one and completed the charge but at very reduced kw
What a sad excuse for a flagship charger.

Sounds like the v3 hardware has some reliability issues to be addressed.

When we where there yesterday most didn't work and the one we found that worked was on and off. Now the app in the car shows the charger as not working. FYI
