Supercharger - Thousand Oaks, CA - East Thousand Oaks Blvd (re-opened May 2021)

[mikeyteh]

I agree. Additionally, I'll note that the Promenade (this thread/SC in construction) and The Oaks (speculation/rumor/needs verifying) are less than 6 miles apart. I'm totally cool with Tesla loading up the Conejo Valley with superchargers and all, but I would be surprised if they really did build in both the Promenade and The Oaks.

Putting two SpC's in Thousand Oaks when they're already planning to install one in Calabasas at The Commons seems silly given how close they are to each other, but I believe I saw it mentioned that the management company that owns The Promenade, The Oaks, and The Commons is one in the same and they intend to put SpC's at each one. Perhaps they will be for fewer chargers at each location.

Seems silly NOW but wait til there are 500,000 Model 3's and an equal number of Model Y's, most of which owned by renters without HMS charging, and it won't seem silly anymore!

Couldn't agree more. I see no one complaining about gas stations being across the street from each other, so we should hardly be disappointed with multiple superchargers in the same neighborhood. Also, think of this: if power goes down for one, there is another one nearby, but far enough away, not to be affected by the same outage.

@Black_P85 : my attempt to post another thread about the other supercharger failed. Please post your source so we can confirm and get a discussion going specific to that location

The trenching has finally reached Westlake Blvd. Let’s hope the end is near.

Actually, you're partially right. Caruso manages/owns the Promenade, Commons and the Lakes. Not the Oaks. As noted above, the Lakes is less than 2 miles to the Promenade and really does not have that much parking. If you are right, there will be superchargers built at the Americana, Grove, and other centers in Marina Del Rey, Burbank, Beverly Hills, among others.

It is likely that the Miramar Hotel in Montecito California will host a Supercharger. It is a Caruso development under construction on the 101 north of Oxnard just south of Santa Barbara. Also Caruso is developing a Palisades Park major shopping district in Pacific Palisades, California (at the very west of Los Angeles north of Santa Monica), also a Caruso development, is likely where the '50s style drive-in car-hop service with projected movies Supercharger will be located.

As I said above, I visited this mall around 1pm on New Years Eve and it was insanely crowded, with a line of cars up and down every lane looking for a spot. Expect icing, and probably try to avoid during the holiday shopping season, as just getting in and out may take awhile.
What do the signs say? Do they allow 30 minute general parking? Heck, there is icing now on the latest photos WITH the signs up, unless those are people who truly know that they are not operational.

Tesla Owners have support from the Caruso group, I spoke to one of their executives and he confirmed they’ll TOW if Tesla dedicated parking spots were ICEd

Additionally the Caruso group is developing a program to lend a Tesla to patrons of their Montecito resort, e.g. drop your car off at the Glendale mall and pick up a Tesla to drive to the resort and back.

More photos from 1/17/18. The contractor was power washing the parking spaces of dirt, and we’re starting to take down barriers. Expect them to be done by the weekend however utility has to wire up the Superchargers and complete their side of the installation. Foreman’s best guess, six weeks till live.

The majority of the construction crew has begun working on their next assignment—reportedly the Calabasas Commons. Apparently, SCE will begin connecting the equipment to their grid next week.

Looks like quite a bit of battery storage there - did you see how many units?

No solar or batteries at this site.

What are the white cabinets at the left foreground of the first picture in this post?

What are the white cabinets at the left foreground of the first picture in this post?

Either the AC distribution cabinets, or auto-transformer cabinets. (Tesla seems to be adding auto-transformers to a lot of the sites, though I haven't seen this design before.)

But those aren't Powerpacks...

 

[emupilot]

The gray distribution cabinets are shown in the first photo of this post, and the auto-transformers we've seen at other sites have been small - just a couple feet high. The cabinets at Thousand Oaks don't look like the PowerPacks on the Tesla website but they do look like the battery storage installed in Australia as shown in this photo.

 

[miimura]

Those are the older style PowerPacks. Baker has the newer style PowerPacks.

 

[miimura]

I just did a random search through the Tesla Energy sub-forum and found this post with pictures of a PowerPack install. It certainly looks like the same units.
Powerpack and Superchargers?

I swear I looked at that plan and didn't see the energy storage system. Thanks for pointing that out.

Moderator note: if you want to speculate about other Supercharger locations in Ventura or elsewhere in or near Thousand Oaks, you can do that in this thread Superchargers in Southern California (location speculation)

The Thousand Oaks Supercharger thread is for discussion of this particular site. Thank you.

I spoke to an exec at The Oaks mall in Thousand Oaks, 350 West Hillcrest Dr. behind the parking structure that sports a large TV installation near Nordstrom‘s. previously speculation they would install 20 superchargers. I thought a lot bitch superchargers will be installed executive would not go on the record but strongly indicated they would “look forward to serving Tesla owners as customers of the ball“.

Nice going, I just followed through on this thread & pulled the same details out of the plans but you beat me to it! Great community
