Superchargers in Northern California (location speculation)

[Merrill]

Went by Petaluma today and not much change, trenching looks done a few pieces of equipment and gravel mounds. A large blue tarp covers something, did not want to uncover it.

On the new 2016 Supercharger map on the newly revised Tesla website, there appears to be a new SC location southeast of Manteca and another new location north of Tejon. My interpretation is that Tesla is going to fully support travel along 99 with two new locations.

Jan 15 Petaluma update

There was a lot of activity at the Petaluma construction site yesterday. They were working on something inside the big structure next to the individual charging bays.

Thanks for checking it out, looks to be getting close.

More activity today. They now have 10 stalls, all wired up. The backhoe is digging a pretty big hole -- a transformer vault?

Thanks, looks like it is moving along. 10 that is nice.

Any updates in the last couple of days? I'm hoping to stop by the site myself soon!

Have not had a chance to go by lately, should be up soon.

I'm working in Petaluma next Tuesday. I'll take a look.

Stopped by this afternoon. Asphalt striped, pedestals complete. Foreman says PG&E will hopefully set transformer Monday, then TM will test, may be open on February 1, fingers crossed. I've been bringing the crew a dozen donuts in the afternoon every couple of days, hoping to help keep them happy, energetic, and productive. Seems to work, at least in my dreams.

Foreman says the contractor they work for, out of SoCal, has done five supercharger projects, Petaluma being the first one he's personally been involved in--they mostly have done telecom site installs in the past.

He says they're going to Napa next.

That's really cool of you to do that! On the behalf of all future users of the Petaluma SC, thank you
Oh and of course, thanks for the update on the status of the site. Fingers crossed for February!

We all thank you for the donuts and update, cannot wait and hope for early next month. Interesting there are on to Napa next because rumor was it would not come on line until end of the year.

The Napa use permit was approved 12/30. I drove by there yesterday. The foundation for a large building is in place, but no sign of supercharger construction yet. My guess is this charger is a few months away, at least.

Yay! Looks like I will have to get a cabin in Mendocino for my wife's birthday at the end of Feb after all!!!

Don't forget the patulie oil, tydie and marjuana.

No, just beautiful flowers at the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens, whale watching, and walking on the (cold) beach.
