Dang! Missed it today. I charged in Concord. But saw the Walnut Creek SuC live on the screen for the first time!

Beat me by two days! I'll get another one later this weekend.

I really liked the wide range of eating establishments here and being on the top floor kept traffic to a minimum. Only wish they'd take better care of the elevators.

Even though it shows as closed due to the PGE power shutdown, power is back up and I'm charging. Don't know if they will shut down again this week due to incoming winds.

The Walnut Creek supercharger is not in an area affected by the PG&E Public Safety Power Shutoff program. The outage there yesterday was a normal type of unintentional outage caused by wind and/or the "Local" fire knocking out power to a section of Walnut Creek.

Charging is slower than at the veranda in concord and I’m the only one here.

Your post appears to show that your half full battery is charging at 64kW. That does not seem unusual to me.

The urban style supercharger has a max of 72 kW. But they don't dynamically share power between stalls, so you don't have to worry about whether you're at a paired stall or not. Assuming the hardware is working properly, you'll always get up to 72 kW.

Wow. This locations is perfect for the runs up to the Container Store. After all, one can never have too much storage to store all their containers.

Interesting. The API (and consequently mobile app) now shows the name of this site as "Walnut Creek, CA - Plaza Escuela", although the Tesla "Find Us" map still just shows "Walnut Creek, CA". Haven't checked the nav in the car lately. According to my Supercharger data logger, this happened sometime yesterday. Also the number of stalls seems to have converged on the correct number of 24 (it had been showing 20 for awhile).

Well I thought it was interesting anyway.

Bruce.

After the recent Ford Mustang and Focus ICEing and towing by police I was wondering if someone would post a few pictures of the signage. TIA.

Unfortunately, I only have a picture of the side on which ICE cars are allowed. I'm posting it. The article I read about the towed cars says that the other side does say charging only. But the side I have a picture of clearly says that it is general parking for all vehicles. I do see a lot of sites that have multiple versions of the signs like this where some say general parking (often with a time limit) whilst others say that they are for charging only.

interesting.... question, should they charge idle fees if general parking is allowed?

(Obviously yes but food for thought)
