We're close indeed. Once this site is operational, will we see any relief in Mountain View CA? {I used to live a few blocks away}
I'd like to think that Sunnyvale CA and Cupertino CA would both take charging demand away from MV.
Cupertino might; it is at least close to a major highway. If you asked me what the worst location in Sunnyvale to put a supercharger is, I'd have said Sunnyvale and El Camino. They only missed that absolute middle of nowhere by a block or two. It's nearly as far as you can get from any of the freeways or expressways, with the possible exception of Central Expressway, but that's an "expressway" in much the same way that a Yugo is an automobile. The daily parking lot at Central and Mary is rivalled only by the parking lot on southbound 85, if at all.
I would expect the Sunnyvale supercharger to get a lot of use by people who live in Sunnyvale, but not much use beyond that. After all, the Sunnyvale Target is, on a bad day, a 20-minute (6-block) drive from 101, thanks in no small part to the tragically timed traffic lights on Mathilda. I suspect most people would only do that once before saying, "Never again." But time will tell. I guess there's always 85 to El Camino....
Stopped by at lunch, and still no dice - no power - "Check charger power".
I did see a guy with a white Tesla poking around at one of the chargepoint chargers, not sure if he was a Tesla employee or not. I asked him if he knew why it was taking so long to get power, and he said he didnt know.
Must have been you I met on that day!Sunnyvale supercharger is open and working! Charging right now.
Must have been you I met on that day!
Not yetIs it showing up on the nav screen? I'll find out in a few hrs when I head home.
Good grief. You think Tesla would have this process down by now.
I didn’t say Tesla was was doing the work. It’s obvious that they are using contractors as Tesla is not in the construction business. However, they have a construction team that manages these contractors and ultimately have oversight over these projects. While I understand that each municipality has different codes for signage, it just seems like a easily avoidable mistake.Tesla isn't the one doing the work. These are local contractors.
Must have been you I met on that day!
Most construction workers don't use wheel chairs or handicapped parking, so have no idea how such people's junk is done. To us, it's a complete mystery. The problem is that the regulations are conflicting and inprecise, so it's literally impossible to be in compliance, so they can flunk you if they just don't like you. It's a power grab by government. The real question is why they decided in that town to not like Tesla, that contractor, or that property manager.I was able to pull the inspection results from Sunnyvale's website. Looks like the city failed the final inspection due to signage issues and incorrect wheel chair parking stall markings. Good grief. You think Tesla would have this process down by now. Here's the link to the report if you are interested in tracking it.
