Supercharger - Tejon Ranch, CA (expanded to 24 V2 stalls)

[FredTMC]

Saw that before somewhere. Funny he couldn't find the solar panels!

Omfg. "Can't find the solar panels"! You've got to love the media. Classic...

why 10am-10pm?

 

[ChadS]

We were there a few days ago. Yup, the solar panels are right on top...

We'll be back there tomorrow. Man, do these Superchargers make travel easier...I can't wait for them to be available in more places!

You can charge 24hr but phone help is only during those hours.

Got to Tejon Ranch today with my 60. I was only one there. Plugged in just like at home, easy-peasy. And then - Wowza, started off charging at 300 mi per hr. I suppose I should have expected that, I just didn't believe my eyes. Then a nice couple approached me as soon as I got there, did Tesla-time for about 10 minutes. Then went back to check and holy smokes its gained 55 miles already. Got a burger at in and out, came back, and it was showing 191 miles. Nice for a standard charge. And quick!

These superchargers are awesome.

Bound466: Wow. I guess this contradicts earlier posts of 60s that were getting less than 300mph charges. I think I read that the latest firmware (4.2) improved the charge rate. Can you confirm your understanding?

Also, I'm getting my 60 in a few weeks. Not sure if you were heading north towards Harris Ranch or not but I'm curious how fast you drove between SCs and how much battery you had left. Ideally, I'd like to do 70-75 between SCs. I think Barstow to LV will be tough to do at full speed. It's ~155mi.

Indeed, supercharging was improved with the new firmware. The car can now draw up to 255 amps, up from 225 that I was seeing on 1.15.14.

Is regular use of the supercharger tough on the battery?

 

[FalconNinetyD]

Tesla says no, there is no impact to battery health from Supercharging...

I didn't make it to Harris Ranch, but I had gone from Rancho Cucamonga to Tejon, and back again. I wanted to test out the supercharger, and see how much range it would take to and fro. We plan to take a road trip up to Three Rivers soon, and will make use of that supercharger.

I was definitely pushing the car really good. I was doing something like 75, sometimes, um, faster even. The car just begs for aggressive driving. Here are the stats:

I left home with about 185 miles, and arrived with 30 = 155 miles of range used. Real miles was 116 mi.
Trip back home, left with 191 miles, and arrived with about 40 or so, but honestly I didn't remember to mark down the miles when I got home. I went on another joy ride since I got back so early. :tongue:

From some of the other threads, it sounds like the Harris Ranch to Tejon Ranch drive is the killer, so definitely need to keep the speed down on that one. If you make the trip, let us know how it goes.

Thanks for the info!

Yesterday at 4:30 pm arrived with all stalls full, within minutes we had 3 lined up & waiting to charge.

Tried Mauricio's Grill across the street & it was just OK, burrito at Chipotle is better IMO.

Tejon is definitely due for an expansion.

The last time I charged up I looked about for any battery storage units because of what I read:

TeslaBattery for Your House - Bloomberg Business

Does anybody know about any installed battery storage capability at any Supercharger stations other than Hawthorne?

Barstow has battery storage, for sure.

Would be nice if Tesla put a supercharger in on the Outlet side for those who want to shop there.

Having Mojave online will alleviate Tejon though for those going to Vegas/Mammoth from Northern Cal

 

[commasign]

Is Tejon 120kW/135kW or still the original 90kW?

Nevermind. I'm here now. Looks like at least 120kW.

Over on the TM forum, there are reports that two of the six charging stations are currently down.

 

[apacheguy]

Someone please chime in. Confirm that Tejon is operational. Having weird Nav issues and wondering whether chargers are offline?
