Tesla has opened a new public Megacharger site in Vernon, California, according to the official Tesla Charging account on X.
The location has six Megacharger stalls. Those pads are built for Tesla’s heavy commercial vehicles, especially the Semi, rather than the Supercharger network passenger cars use day to day, and Megacharger hardware is rated for up to 1.2 MW per stall.
Tesla Charging’s post was brief and factual—“New Tesla Megacharger: Vernon, CA (6 stalls)”—with a map pin and site photo, which is how the company has been announcing these high-power pads as they come online. Vernon sits in the industrial corridor just southeast of downtown Los Angeles, a natural stop for freight routes that already move through Southern California warehouses and ports.
Tesla North previously covered the first Los Angeles-area Megacharger in Ontario, and Vernon extends that Southern California footprint for fleet operators who need corridor charging beyond a single Inland Empire pad. Without multi-megawatt stalls, a Semi’s range on paper does not translate into practical depot and corridor operations.
As Tesla keeps talking up Semi production and more freight corridor sites, public Megachargers like Vernon are what fleet buyers will watch for first.
