Supercharger - Tustin, CA (LIVE 16 Nov 2021, 8 V3 stalls)
- Thread starter andy92782
- Start date
Was able to swing by again today and saw somebody onsite with measuring tape inspecting the stalls. He said final inspection is Fri or next Mon, light-up should be next week. Fingers crossed.

Interesting pedestal arrangement for those first two spots opposite the building. I guess they didn't want the first pedestal sticking out too far into the parking lot?
Or they wanted to have a stall usable pull-in with a large rear-mounted bike rack (there doesn't look like room there for a proper trailer without getting in the way).
This station is getting very close. Lights on the posts are not yet illuminated but the charge handle button opens the charge port, then red indicator and error message (but car recognizes it as a supercharger). Hopefully early next week!

That pin is not representative of the actual site location. The pin is attached to the "Tustin" label on the map. The real site could be anywhere in that city.
It's not that irregular for Tesla's database updates showing a new site going active to fail to remove the old "coming soon" pin that was placed at the city name. Most likely that is what's happened here and that "coming soon" pin is referring to the supercharger which this thread is discussing. This error usually gets cleared up within a month or so. So check back on the map in 2 weeks and if it's still there, then you can reasonably start hoping it means there's another Tustin supercharger somewhere in the works. But as miimura correctly pointed out, it won't be exactly where the grey pin is on the map, that's just a generic placeholder.
Perhaps someone can suggest that when Tesla wants customers to know that a SC is planned for a town, but has not yet 'sealed the deal', a better way to announce that possibility? I think the Main Post Office is usually where most businesses place that pin. Prevents multiple pin locating during negotiations.
Tesla updated their supercharger map today with new dates. Tustin got an update too. Looks like 2nd charger is forthcoming after all. Makes sense. Noticed Irvine chargers like one on Culver aren’t full as often as before. Peeps are charging en route to work to\from OC instead.

In somewhat unrelated news, a Costco down the street from this Supercharger just opened a 32 (!!) pump gas station. I watched them build it from the beginning; it went from an empty parking lot to dispensing gas in about 1/4 the time it took Tesla to finish this 8-stall Supercharger. Maybe Tesla just doesn't know how to pay off the right people in the building department...
