It's usually pretty quiet, one day it just appears on your nav screen as a Supercharger location. Tesla does send out an email if it's close to you, just a heads up "Hey our new X Supercharger is now open". But the email usually comes pretty late, much after it's already reported open on TMC.
There are other SC sites in parking garages, in London and Hong Knog, for example. Tesla has only so much bargaining power with site owners. I assume the parking garage owner was unwilling to give space on the ground floor. That's okay, there will be signs directing you upstairs, I think.
I'm having a hard time picturing this. Does the power come down from a cable in the sky that can't reach down to the 1st floor?
[Meant to be funny, but I seriously don't understand how that could be]
The photos on this thread provide the answers. Here are the two photos that will help:I'm having a hard time picturing this. Does the power come down from a cable in the sky that can't reach down to the 1st floor?
The second picture in particular confirms the power comes from the ground level next to the garage.
Not all the time. Visit during a weekday and only the lower levels have cars. The photos above were at peak movie times.
