Supercharger - Thousand Oaks, CA - West Hillcrest Drive (LIVE 3 Aug 2018, Urban type)

[MonkeyTOGA]

It occurred to me that we lack a top-down from the parking structure. As of now:

Does “Urban Style” refer to the charger? I don’t recognize the chargers. They’re different than the norm. Can anyone explain why?

"To increase efficiency and support a high volume of cars, these Superchargers have a new architecture that delivers a rapid 72 kilowatts of dedicated power to each car."

I don’t see much progress but for a lot of materials cleanup.

@MonkeyTOGA

This site reminds me of the conditions we saw in Westlake several weeks ago. The work by the contractor seems mostly complete, but SCE has not installed their equipment.

@madsigh I missed the wood manhole coverings you snapped shots of...you’re right, that does look familiar

@MonkeyTOGA @madsigh Patience will be key. These stalls wont be up and running until early June. Counting down the days though!!

This is odd. Both of these show up via the in-car Nav. One at 350 West Hillcrest Drive and the one 4 miles east thereof. Via the voice command “Navigate to Thousand Oaks supercharger”.

Of course, the one east shows the 24 stalls. The one west just shows an address.

No other “not *yet* open” SC shows up - as one would expect.

Anyone know why this appears to be the exception? Drivers don’t need to be given the option of navigating to SCs that are not yet functional.

 

[MonkeyTOGA]

Interesting find, @TaoJones, I get the same thing. When I choose to navigate there and then click the destination balloon, I get this:



Based on that image, I speculate Tesla will end up calling the Oaks Mall charger, “Thousand Oaks, CA - West Hillcrest Drive.”

Why did my Model 3 guide me to this supercharger at the Oaks that was still under construction and didn't even show a second one in Thousand Oaks?

First question is answered by the previous posts. 2nd question seems unusual. The functioning supercharger definitely showed up in my Nav when I was in the area. I do however, drive an S not a 3.

Contact Tesla about that issue, they need to know.

I drove by tonight, Like the Westlake ("East Thousand Oaks Blvd") location was for some time, it appears to be waiting for Edison. Chargers, transformers and even the "Tesla Parking" signs all are in. Fenced in completely though!

 

[BruceR61]

It appears work to connect the power is ongoing. Trenches along Lynn Road in the vicinity of the superchargers... stay tuned.

It's been a few weeks since the last update. This must be coming along.

I drove by today. Trenches seemed filled in. It seems done except some fixing of landscaping where the temporary fencing has been sitting. Maybe someone needs to connect the final transformers or flip a switch!

 

[ecarfan]

Maybe someone needs to connect the final transformers

And we know how long that can sometimes take because it depends on the local utility, not Tesla. So it could be days, or it could be many weeks. It will get done.

 

[exzacklyright]

Don't have a Tesla but one day .

TO is my home! They just need to add another service center in Newbury Park/Simi. Open a show room and maybe that would convince my dad to get one!

Good to see progress

 

[BruceR61]

Today I noticed a backhoe in the fenced in area... signs work still yet to be done!

Interesting that this location does not show on Tesla’s supercharger map as coming soon. Only the Westlake Promenade supercharger is shown. Probably just a mixup given there are going to be two Thousand Oaks locations. Just surprised they aren’t taking credit for it on the map as it is clearly going to be coming very soon.
