Are those Tesla chargers typically free of charge?

In my experience yes. And, if you're going to dinner or watching a movie, it seems smarter to plug into one of those to avoid supercharger idle fees.

Yes, I agree. Those are perfect for that. Just happy to see Tesla installing those as an alternative to the SC.

Yes, but they are a LOT slower than a Supercharger. They are just L2 chargers: I believe they are just standard Wall Connectors with J-1772 connectors (that's what they did at the recently opened Brea location: 24 Superchargers and 24 L2s.

That is fine. Plan to wine and dine or see a movie while the car charges.

Exactly. This is a fantastic idea. No charge and no time limit. Gives the mall some much needed business and no hurry for the driver. V3 stalls are so fast, that unless you are really low, you barely have time to get anything done at the mall.

Looks like things are getting close! All the fencing is gone, but there are two or three empty concrete pads and I don't know what they are for

 

[rayluis1988]

Nice, the big one in the valley is almost done.

 

[gaswalla]

Those concrete pads are for the transformers that need to be installed by LADWP

The transformers ALWAYS seem be the last thing with the Supercharger installations.

Exactly, and some companies take their sweet time for several reasons, notoriously PG&E

Yeiiiii, transformers time. Thats a big a** transformer.

I thought I saw workers back there when I drove by on Sepulveda this morning. Thanks for checking

 

[RichieRich67]

Drove by today, it looks like it’s ready…

And the parking attendant on the way out, he said “parking” would cost $3 (assuming you are there to charge and leave.

My wife doesn’t think the attendant understood the question LOL

 

[MikeRadio]

Are these open yet?! How many supers and how many destinations are there!
