Hey everybody Rob Mower here and today we have a supercharger network update which is a nice little throwback for those of you that have

listened to the podcast for a long time I used to do those every day at the start of the

podcast we also have some news on Berlin paint a small little update slash rumor I guess I would call it on battery day and the news on

Daimler and Nikola motor as well. Tesla stock with another really strong day today

even though it was relatively quiet newswise finishing up 7.2% to 449.76 of this is coming from Brian Mack S.C. on Twitter, who is a long time listener and I believe

Patreon supporter of the podcast, who happened to stumble across a supercharger network location

under construction near Firebach, California. As far as I can tell, this location had not yet been noticed,

so upon Brian tweeting these out,

Tesla Motors Club Forum members did some digging on this

and they were actually able to find the permit for the site, as well as some planning documents

for sort of a conglomerate travel center at this location.

Those documents disclosed that Tesla will have 56 spots for Tesla charging at this travel center.

Assuming each of those spaces has a supercharger associated with it,

56 chargers would put this as the largest supercharger location in North America and possibly in the world,

surpassing Kettleman City in the United States at 40 chargers,

and then I believe in China there are a couple locations that have 50 chargers.

So pretty exciting, this location is between San Francisco and LA driven miles it's about

230 miles from LA and about 150 from San Francisco. It's not clear if these will be all

version 3 superchargers but I would have to imagine that they would be and as far as other features go

It looks like about two-thirds of them 38 of the 56 will be pull-through

Hopefully accommodating the use of a trailer and making things a bit easier for the cyber truck and potentially also accommodating the semi.

Of course, since the unveil of the semi we haven't heard much more about Tesla's mega-charger plans so hopefully we get a bit of an update on that during battery day.
