If anyone wants photos tomorrow, I can probably stop by and take some.

I do!

Thanks fengshui... interesting stuff...

I don't think they always have it displayed on the TV inside. Both times I've been there, it hasn't been up.

The "TV" at the Hawthorne Supercharger that you refer to: is it the screen on the wall with the clothes and accessories? I assume not, as that was on when I was there last Saturday at around 3pm but it was showing the same content that you see at Tesla showrooms: information about Model S configurations and charging.

@AEdennis says it is on the wall opposite the entrance doors. There was a low desk in front of that wall there with a guy sitting behind it. I asked him where the Supercharger screen display was. He said he didn't know anything about that, and that "the regular Tesla people aren't here right now". He knew nothing.

This TV is behind the Model X on the wall with the huge map of California's Supercharging locations, there is even a mock up Supercharger sitting 2 feet away, TV might have been off but the rest is pretty hard to miss.

Wow, I saw no "huge map". I was with my wife and father and none of us saw it. I will have to make another visit there next time I am in So. Cal.!

The desk you're referring to is slightly left when you walk in. The TV is basically straight ahead when you walk in the doors. In the pictures Lump posted, you can see the doors in the reflection behind him, as well as the silhouette of the Model X. That should give you an idea where it is.

Maybe it's the person behind the desk's job to put that graphic up on the TV and that's why it wasn't up when you got there, since the guy didn't know anything about it and wasn't the "regular" Tesla person.

Regarding Goleta Rabobank...

I checked this out just now, and it's not a supercharger, but it is a related project. They're adding about a parking space's worth of equipment to install a single SolarCity Demandlogic unit: DemandLogic Demand Response - Commercial Solar Solutions | SolarCity

Here is a picture of what is there:

Yes, Tesla product stickers on the boxes.

I assumed (perhaps mistakenly?) that this was a precursor to a Supercharger install...

TEG that construction looks different from the Supercharger equipment but I can understand why one might think it could be a new Supercharger, especially since it is next to an existing EV charger.

Love the color of your Roadster!

I was at Hawthorne yesterday afternoon (around 3 PM), and the doors were locked so I could not get any updated photos of the screen.

AndyM found the permit for a new supercharger in Missoula, Montana. It will be at the Best Western Plus Grant Creek Inn at 5280 Grant Creek Road. Permit information is here.

 

[fengshui]

I do!

Thanks fengshui... interesting stuff...

I'm a day late, but here are some closeups of the Tesla stickers and equipment, to complement TEG's photos:

Enjoy!

U.S. end of year map countdown. With Truckee CA and Chatannooga TN done, 83 to go! Doable? I think so.

Just noticed that the listing for the Hawthorne supercharger on Tesla's site incorrectly says that it has 6 superchargers, when it should say 8. Does anyone know how to contact Tesla about this?

I "know" the product manager for the site (or a portion of the site) and this is what he's told me in the past - "if you see issues with our Supercharger site information, please email [email protected] as they control information related to these sites"

The Indianapolis supercharger has been found under construction. bucksport teased with a photo but no location, then michiganmodels sleuthed out the location from the photo. It is at La Quinta Inn and Suites, 5120 Victory Drive in Indianapolis. It appears to be in the early stages of construction.

Am I the only one who thinks this ferreting out of SpC sites is just like one global easter egg hunt? I wonder whether anyone at TMC ever thought beforehand whether Tesla owners would be engaging in such a determined game of Where's Next And When as all of us have been undertaking?

I hope they realize....it's never going to stop!:biggrin:

Grove City, OH is awaiting approval and Bozeman, MT broke ground yesterday. Here is a picture of Bozeman, courtesy of DrGuest:

I scouted the Walden Galleria in Buffalo, NY last weekend, and I saw no sign of Tesla anywhere. I had thought that would be an ideal location, just off I-90, but man was that parking lot crowded! I didn't check in the interior parking structures, it was just too crowded to move through.

Most likely the back to school rush. I don't think it's normally that busy.

Barstow, CA has been upgraded to 8 stalls. Not sure when this happened as news by Tesla Motors can be a few days old.
