Price is super low (for So Calif).
$0.39/kWh all day - every day - no peak pricing.

That's sweet and great pricing too!

While I waited, I got a Bruster's Real Ice cream - non dairy option was nice.

Lots of people in line too.

That's in California?
Wouldn't pricing like that create lines like a roller coaster at Six Flags? ?

Honestly, 39¢ for public DCFC is a good price in any state, isn't it?

Yup, agree, the pricing is very good - considering all the So Calif SC locations charges more during the day than at night.

Saw this local publication online:

Guess the location was stalled about that time when the Musk fired the SC teams ??/

Are there any charging spaces arranged so that an MME can charge without taking two or more?

There’s 64. I’m thinking there’s usually 2 adjacent ones open.

Yes, there are 2 handicap spaces available.

I usually use those to avoid taking up 2 spaces.

Wowzah! That's one epic mic drop by Tesla to other charging companies!


Why stop at 64? 69 would've been more fun. ?

And more in line with Musk's S3XY branding ?

Ok, the utility geek in me sneaks out once in a while. That’s 16MW of load if it fills up at capacity. I’d love to see the infrastructure behind that.

I’m surprised Tesla is still doing big V3 stations and hasn’t migrated fully to the V4 dispensers.

I was just going to mention that. These are all V3's with the shorter cables. Our little town of <5000 pop here in CA just got 8, V4 stations with the 10' cords. I can charge whether I pull in straight or backed in without taking up two stalls.

A 16 stall supercharger is opening up near me which im excited about and its V4 with magic dock. It will be helpful in the winter when we lose power for days at a time lol

From what I read, the original installation was started over 10 months ago.

I heard from a realtor friend that purchase of the location, infrastructure and chargers were stalled after the purchase.

Here's a local clip from earlier when construction first started:
