Attempted to charge at Tejon Ranch on Thursday 15 February 2018 at around 2:30 p.m. Only two spots available. Very slow charge rate. My vehicle's battery only had 15 percent left, but the fill rate was less than 35 kW. I moved to the other available stall again it was very slow, less than 35 kW.. I left without charging and drove to the Bakersfield I-5 Supercharger. Fill rate at Bakersfield I-5 was very fast more than 100 kW. There was only one other vehicle at Bakersfield I-5 charging. Took me east of my destination but not that inconvenient because Stockdale Highway west to my destination in Bakersfield city proper was a fast roadway.

The stalls paired to the stalls you plugged into were in use. Since those cars were there first they were getting as much power as they could handle, and you were getting whatever was left. That is the way Superchargers work (except for the new “Urban” style Supercharger stalls which are unpaired but provide a lower maximum power).Attempted to charge at Tejon Ranch on Thursday 15 February 2018 at around 2:30 p.m. Only two spots available.

I was there on Saturday twice on a day trip to Fresno. I could have skipped it in the morning, but we had to take a washroom break. In the afternoon, I dropped off my wife at the outlet across the street and went over to charge and eat dinner. I just missed needing to wait in line and completed my charge about 30 mins after I arrived. Several thoughts come to mind:
1. Adding a SC on the 99 between Fresno and Tejon Ranch could relieve some congestion here
2. Adding a SC at the outlet across the street would be very convenient. There's plenty of space for it
3. My Model 3 charge's faster (mph) than my S - sweet!
4. Nobody should whine about needing to pay for a SC. It's dirt cheap and did discourage me from overuse
You are correct that we need more SC's along 99.
Thanks for posting that. I’ve changed the thread title. With Buttonwillow, Bakersfield, and the new Santa Clarita Supercharger now operational, hopefully this temporary closure at Tejon won’t inconvenience to many people.Saw this on a Facebook page today
I'd imagine a transformer upgrade is needed to add more chargers. And if they put pedestals in the stalls across from the existing ones (i.e. the spots closest to the street), then they'll have to dig up some part of that lot, probably across the entrance.Wow wonder how long it will be closed. “Starting” seems to suggest it will be extended. Maybe a more significant overhaul than just added more stalls?
