Vacaville is reduced right now. Plugged into 2 different bays and got immediate 115kW then down to zero a minute later. Also got a fault on one of them.
Tech support said "move to 2A."

god help us when there are hundreds of thousands of model 3's competing to use superchargers.Vacaville is reduced right now. Plugged into 2 different bays and got immediate 115kW then down to zero a minute later. Also got a fault on one of them.

Superchargers do a handshake with the vehicle before charging. A vehicle that hasn't enabled supercharging won't pass this handshake. The same system that prevents legacy Model S's from before Supercharging was standard from charging will work with Model 3's if this is the route Tesla goes.Hopefully, they will charge the $3k supercharger rate for the Model 3 to use them and then turn that money around into building out more chargers. I'm not sure how they will tell between a Model 3 and a Model S, do they have to go to a ChargePoint card system or can the chargers recognize what type of car is connected?
Incorrect. All the Supercharger software does is check the car to see if it is allowed to Supercharger. That is done between the Supercharger and the car. Nothing is transmitted to Tesla. This has been discussed many times on TMC.The VIN number is transmitted as part of the Supercharger negotiation process. The mothership knows if you have unlimited Supercharging, no Supercharging, or a-la-carte.
I have never had to wait either but I have been there many times when most stalls were occupied. Unfortunately there are not a lot of options in the area. If you need a charge, you need a charge.Busy day at this Supercharger. I do not come here often but have been here several times over the past few years and never had to wait. Today on my way here the car nav showed that all stalls were occupied and when I arrived that turned out to be correct. Two cars waiting (including mine).
Okay, but that was four days ago. The nav in my car continues to show Vacaville as "temporary closure". It's non-operational.FWIW I was at Vacaville on Thu. 3/16 around 12:00 noon--all working OK.

Help! Just arrived at Vacaville without knowing about the temporary closure. What are we gonna do? Plan was to stop in Redding for the night, but we don't have enough juice to get there. Yikes.

You could also divert to Roseville. How much range do you have? Corning possible?Do you have enough range to divert to the Napa Supercharger? It's close by and as far as I know / remember should be operational.
Good luck!
