Supercharger - Tejon Ranch, CA - Outlets at Tejon Pkwy (LIVE 1 Sep 2021, 76 V3 stalls)

Always better to use bathroom of bigger locations, such as outlet, mall, Target, etc. No need to inform or ask anyone for permission, and no feeling of embarrassment if the clerk give you that look....

Having said that, I have charged at both NB and SB locations. Outlet's BR bigger and more stalls (cleanliness about the same), but don't recall if it has baby platform for diaper change. Even if it doesn't, the outlet is big enough where it should be possible to find an area without crowd, in the shade, where you can do the diaper change.
 
Could someone confirm whether or not this location is still operating on limited hours?

At supercharge.info we have it listed as open from 4:30am-11pm, but Tesla's Find Us site (which is frequently incorrect) displays this location as open 24/7.
The hours on the in car nav are correct. The outlets security has gates that are locked at night and you can't get to the chargers

Parking Stops removed and piled up on south end. Photo from last week 12/9
I was Supercharging at a Buccees last week and a couple of maintenance folks were removing the parking stops. They said they had been told to remove them but did not know why.

But adding some bollars seems to be needed to avoid any (malicious or not) damage:

It bothered the workers too since they were concerned that folks would be hitting the chargers but they said they had orders to do so from up above.

It seems that the CyberTruck will need a longer cable than the current V3 Supercharger offers.
Here is a picture of a CyberTruck at a V4 Supercharger:

There are plenty of pictures of the CT at V3 chargers but the cords are stretched to the limit and there are no stops. It’s not a coincidence that all these reports of stops being removed are in Texas and CA which are the only locations where CT is being sold right now.

Tesla has decided to cater to the crowd paying $120k for a truck instead of safety precautions for their infrastructure. Another botched part of the CT. Why isn’t the charge port at the back near the tailgate?

Probably regulations prevent it. Same reason you can’t put a gas filler nozzle behind the rear license plate anymore. For rear end crash scenarios.

That was to put the fuel tank forward of the rear axle to avoid conflagration from that rear-end crash. EVs don't carry all of that explosive fluid like gas cars though so unless there are poorly written regulations, they should not apply.
I'll guess that we start seeing longer cables as they do the regular maintenance swap-outs and then the stops go back in.

By regular maintenance switch outs you mean swapping V3 stalls for V4? That’s the only way to get longer cords now and that isn’t regular maintenance as it requires rewiring all the stalls. Seeing as how V2 stalls are still going strong, it’ll be a long time before regular maintenance requires V3 stalls to be switched out.

Creating a longer cord with cooling for V3 seems much less time and cost consuming. Who cares if it doesn’t drape perfectly inside the post when it’s hanging up?
