Those above ground conduits look like a major trip hazard. That is NOT cool at all.

There really isn't any reason to walk in that area. These aren't permanent after all. They wouldn't trench and bury the conduit unless they knew they'd be there permanently.

No more a trip hazard than tripping over a curb. They are bolted down, aren't going anywhere.

Tesla Superchargers are now just a road trip away.

Tesla calls these "Mobile Superchargers," but the "Mobile" part of it is kind of like today's mobile homes. It is factory built and transported to the intended site. There it is (semi)permanently connected to a 208-Volt or 480-Volt, 3-Phase existing distribution panel.

The "Mobile Supercharger" contains one Supercharger Cabinet that services two Supercharger Stalls or Pedestals, one on each side. Because most of these installations are to existing 208-Volt 3-phase service, they are limited to 90 kW, shared between the two stalls. A 480-Volt connection will provide 120 or 135 kW out.

In the picture below, you can see the two pedestals serving Stalls on either side of the Supercharger Cabinet, the Supercharger Cabinet in the middle, and the conduit carry the power to the Mobile Supercharger going out the back.

Thanks for the further explanation. I would love to see a couple of these brought out to the Manteca/Lathrop area until the permanent Superchargers are installed in that area, whereever that will be.

I spotted this beautiful Burnt Orange custom painted Model S today at the Harris Ranch Supercharger. Does it belong to someone on TMC?

^ it was spotted at the factory supercharger a few weeks ago. VIN 25000, I believe.

This may have been asked before, so sorry if its a duplicate. The Tesla website states that you can get 170 miles in 30 minutes off a 120kW Supercharger. Does the range or time change with the 135kW models or does that simply just help charger more cars at the same time off the same cabinet. Also does anyone know how they calculated those metrics? Essentially did they provide the best numbers possible by measuring from an almost completely empty battery? Thanks.

Although there is a famously blue Tesla, the car in the picture is not a Tesla.

I take that back. The location is listed underneath the map, but there is no dot on the map. Also the blue route is missing. I'm not sure why there isn't a better process for releasing this information but its very inconsistent. I'll email my contact with the bugs.

Macon is 92 miles from Buckhead (Atlanta) and 162 miles from Savannah. Not bad imo. Now to connect Charlotte to ATL.

Yes, from Supercharger-Ritzville, WA:

Just finished charging. It is up and going. Desk clerk at hotel said the installers left this morning.

With Gila Bend, that puts the count at 94; getting closer to 100 U.S. chargers...
