Supercharger - Yucca Valley, CA (LIVE 24 Sep 2022, 16 V3 stalls)

[JohnnyLounge21]

Moderator note: The first three posts in this thread were consolidated from multiple threads.

I think it's safe to say that Yucca Valley will be bringing on a Supercharger in the coming months! It's about 30 mins from this existing one in 29 Palms which is kinda far for most of the action that takes place in the Hi-Desert.

This is a fantastic location. Do you guys think I'm seeing this right? Can the moderator create a new thread with this on there as permitted?

This permit was posted over in the 29 Palms thread and the blue dot is already on supercharge.info:

This is a nice location near the intersection of two desert highways. There's a little bit of everything nearby: fast food, sit-down restaurant, grocery store, museum, motels, and some shopping.

Epic location, right at the junction of 147.
Tesla is absolutely dominating the high desert fast charging scene, showing the world how its done!

 

[JohnnyLounge21]

I'm out this direction often. In fact, our general contractor that we've done some work with made himself one of the first local Tesla owners (Model Y) in the area recently! Probably after seeing us make about 100 trips on our Model S coming and going between San Diego and this area over the last 12 months. I carried on and on about how great our vehicle has performed on those trips. He also saw 12' countertops come out the back (true story!) along with hot water heaters, fridges, materials, etc.

I'll be sure to get pictures if/when we see development the next time I'm out this way! Honestly, this where Tesla should have built the first Supercharger. Don't get me wrong, the 29 Palms one will always hold a special place in my heart (charged there 50+ times) but this is the "Manhattan" location.

I’ve lived in Yucca Valley for years and owned an S. There are many others from Yucca Valley who also own Teslas. Your contractor buddy is actually late to the game.

This supercharger is operational!!!!

Saved my butt yesterday due to a V11 glitch and bad trip planning. I thought i missed an essential Cabazon supercharge stop, and ended up getting to Joshua tree around 25% SOC, this gave me the juice to drive the 40+ miles through Joshua Tree NP (this drive chewed through 30% of charge at 40F alone).

I was totally sweating on Monday during a drive to Joshua Tree and the new V11 UI made it difficult for me to find local superchargers.

Is this in reference to the Twentynine palms location?

I am fairly certain he is mistaken about this location as it is very unlikely this site is energized and in operation just a month after permits were issued by the City.

 

[Mweaver007]

They must have stopped at the Indio Supercharger and have driven through the park to 29 Palms (Tortoise Rock Casino).
The Yucca Valley Supercharger site is still a parking lot.

 

[Jedi2155]

Apologies, I was indeed referring to the 29 Palms supercharger. The V11 software update got me confused about available superchargers since I couldn't find it on the map anymore.


This was the correct location

Just charged here after a day in Joshua Tree NP. We were the only one there. Casino is small but the slots seem to give some back. The restaurant is more like a snack bar but the casino gives free soda and coffee. Very clean. Thanks Tesla !

New Yucca Site ?

 

[JohnnyLounge21]

Do we have any knowledge as to exactly where in this parking lot we think this thing will land? It can't come soon enough. This will allow an arrival empty to fill/lunch with a turn to arrive home empty (charge overnight). I really want this Supercharger!

If it's anything like contracting any residential work in the Hi-Desert, this thing is going to take ages to become real

The most likely is where my car is parked. Plenty of room for 16 chargers. There is also space at the other end of the lot near the grocery outlet store.
Both places are easy access off 247 or 62.
Not holding my breath on seeing this before 2023. Things don’t happen quickly in Yucca Valley building wise.
Been waiting 5 years for them to break ground on an aquatic center. IN and Out was to build in 2015 still vacant lot.
Plenty of tatoo parlors, vape shops,and thrift stores to go around.

 

[Mweaver007]

Still no progress on supercharger. Parking lot seems to be being used as a Ryder truck storage area.
2023 looking optimistic.

 

[JohnnyLounge21]

What a bummer that we've lost momentum on this. I feel like @PLUS EV can sometimes get a line on permit progress and/or where this is going?

I really want this Supercharger!

No new action. Soon will be considered too hot to do the work. I’m thinking maybe end of year or 1 quarter 2023. Watched houses go up in a month. Better ROI I guess.

Still nothing at the site.

Whoa maybe some progress.

 

[JohnnyLounge21]

Yes! I just spoke to a friend of mine who lives across the way and he definitely said that we're in construction mode over there. Maybe we move this status to the traffic cone?

I'll try and get some pics myself this week if I can!
