As rhythm raced inside, the ship came alive
Are you sure it only has 6 stalls?
According to post #154 above, they've added some temporary chargers, so there could well be 10 available at this site.Edit: ugh, didn't refresh page before replying, so I see this has already been pointed out.
I was just there a few hours ago everybody. Can confirm there are 10 stalls! 6+4
BTW I was the only Tesla at this busy location. It's amazing what pouring down rain and being around midnight can do to the Supercharger population

Luckily they have the solar canopy there to cover you from the rain as you plug inI was just there a few hours ago everybody. Can confirm there are 10 stalls! 6+4

Cool. Didn't know they counted the temp stalls too. Thanks for the correction and the temp stall pictures

Wish they could add 6 more stalls where the temps are.
As well as a solar canopy over the new spots

Hopefully. I much prefer Tejon Ranch over buttonwillow.Perhaps that's the next step? Who knows...

I suggested this a year ago. Makes so much sense for various reasons.

That's because Tejon sits at the junction for BOTH I-5 and CA-99.
Ideally, I-5 owners should skip Tejon and stop at Buttonwillow or Bakersfield on the I-5.
Or Tesla should add another station on CA-99 so CA-99 travelers can skip Tejon as well.
2 of the 4 temporary stalls at Tejon are almost useless because it's nearly impossible to park far enough forward to plug in. I literally had to straddle the thing on the ground that is supposed to keep you from driving into the curb (sorry I have no idea what those things are called). And those things are obviously too narrow if you can straddle them in a Tesla. It's difficult to explain what I'm talking about but if you are at Tejon try parking nose in and charging at one of the temporary stalls and you will see what I mean. Obviously the better thing to do is to park on the other side of the temporary charger and back in, but you can only do that for 2 of the 4 temporary spots.

The amenities are better.
Mostly restroom wise.
The petro across the street has clean facilities the last time I drove by.
At buttonwillow the Starbucks had a line for the restroom when we stopped there during construction at Tejon.
It's also better positioned from my house.
From Sacramento CA I can make it to Harris Ranch (P100D)
Charge there just enough to get to Tejon, and then have lunch there at chipotle, walk over to petro for a break and then move on to LA having plenty of spare range to drive around there.

For Those of us who prefer to go 99 instead of 5, Tejon is a must after Fresno. Buttonwillow would mean cutting over to 5 at Bakersfield. which adds more distance
I just want to report that my car is limited to 90kw charging right now. I usually get around 120kw when no one is "sharing". I'm the only one on 2a and 2b is empty. I've heard others have reported it but I have never experienced it until now. I use this Supercharger about once a month

You won't get 120kW unless your SOC (State of Charge) is low, around 10%. When you report a charging rate at a Supercharger, please also report your SOC at the same time.
People regularly post about the charge rate they are getting at a Supercharger but sometimes forget about how it is influenced by SOC and battery temperature.
It is fine to discuss charging rates at a particular Supercharger, but please do not start a general discussion about SOC and Supercharger charge rates. Thank you.
