NorCal Supercharger locations?
I was also at Petaluma today. They're definitely making progress. It appears that one side is "back in" and the other side is drive in?

According to Tesla it is supposed to be on line by the end of the year, given the problems encountered at other SC locations it is anybody's guess. If the paperwork is done and authorized I would think sometime in late December.

Usually at this point they are just waiting for PG+E to install the transformers. My experience with PG+E is all over the place.
When they were to come out and OK my solar install, they took several weeks and were late even then. They checked something later and left it turned off. Took me 3+ days to figure out it was off.
When I called and said I was having UPSs all over the house going crazy because power was fluctuating, they showed up in a couple hours and fixed the loose/bad connection on the pole that evening!
So ymmv...

That photo doesn't look like the outlet mall. Where is it in Petaluma?
I was in Healdsburg a couple of weeks ago. Chargepoint stations are all over the place. Not as fast, but convenient.

It is called the Washington Place Shopping Center and it is right off 101 and Washington street. There is a Dicks sporting goods a Target, Homegoods and several resturants including Panera bread.
Yes the Petaluma SC location is literally just one minute off the freeway as described by others, and very convenient.
As to when it will be open, who knows as it's probably now up to the power utility to get power to the site.

I stopped by the Petaluma SC this foggy morning. Didn't look like much progress since Monday, but here are some pictures anyway:
Definitely looks like 4 pull in spots behind 4 back-in spots.
There are also 4 level 2 stations closeby:

Cottonwood
Roadster#433, Model S#S37
Looks like Petaluma could also be 8 pull-in spots, 4 from each side.
What I find curious is that there appear to be 5 Supercharger Cabinets in the Equipment Enclosure, 4 together and 1 beside the Distribution Center for 8 Charging Stalls. With 5 Supercharger Cabinets, there would usually be 10 Charging Stalls.

Hmm I doubt that. The cars will definitely have to face in the same direction, otherwise the charge cable wouldn't reach the charge port on have the cars that faced the wrong way.
Maybe there's a backup cabinet in case one fails? There are definitely only 8 charging "monoliths" (for now at least).

bad water, go away. I would think it should all fall off the dirt being upside down and all:wink:
I'm really hoping that will be up for X-mas. 3 hour trip difference at least! LAH to Eureka
planning on hwy 36 down so I can use Corning + stop in Folsom
that may be a while before they can pave it. looks like it will be wet/ rainy through next weekend and that is mucky looking dirt and not very good base material (maybe explains the little sinking area at G.Pass / bad trench compaction under the HMA) If it doesn't dry enough to get packed very well before paving it will be a mess in a few months
