Yeah I'm gonna tear into this company's ass because their chargers suck. They never work charging…read morecompany is owned by Elon musk so you know that the kilowatts price that your charge is overcharged. Then things happen like this you go to a charger with four stations and only two of them work. Come back to the same charger the next day and the next two charges work and these don't. Why because it's a scam only two of the chargers work when other people are plugged in the other two don't work. What the fuck?

Another LA institution for decades, this mall has gone through its fair share of ups and downs. For…read moreyears it didn't have a lot of great stores but once Zara, H&M Sephora and several other higher end designer stores moved in, it achieved a bit more of its charm back. Still, there are several boutique type stores you won't see anywhere else and the setup is odd (parking is on the lower levels so you take the elevators up or the escalators on the sides of the mall. There's no large food court anymore, only sporadic snack type shops inside but there are a few restaurants on the ground floor, and you have to pay for parking. Service depending on where you go can be hit or miss, it's dependent on the store itself.

I needed a quick boost for the car and found this Tesla Supercharger. It is in a private lot where…read moreyou pay to park, but they have validation for an hour, which was very helpful. The chargers are in an underground area, so parking felt safe and out of the sun. Once I figured out how to get everything started, it worked great. While I was there, I told a few other people where it was so they could find it as well. Good charge, good layout, nice parking. No complaints. This Tesla Supercharger gets 5 stars.

I know there are mixed reviews on this station, but I generally haven't had any issues here. This…read morelocation has 16 stations and usually has spots open when I go (early mornings, tends to get more crowded during the day). It's located in a parking garage (entrance off of Corinth). Spots and garage are pretty clean although the trash can gets full and not emptied maybe as often as it could. Tesla charging has gotten more expensive especially at peak hours but if you go early or late you can leverage a bit of a discount. Validation available for Tesla charge users.

Not a day nor a night has gone by in which there hasn't been prolonged, aggressive horn-hanging and shouting matches among Tesla drivers queuing up for one of the eight Tesla superchargers in this cramped lot--which is also a parking lot, so one must pay for parking to wait for a charger, as queuing is prohibited, per the posted signs. And parking enforcement regularly trawls this lot waiting to ticket. I've observed near-violence erupt among Tesla drivers, and between drivers and parking enforcement. I just witnessed what was the cusp of an all-out melee. I can't say it's not entertaining. But it feels like it's only a matter of time before someone gets seriously hurt or worse. It's also clear that the operators of this lot have total disregard for and indifference to the welfare of anyone but themselves. May they choke on their own vomit and die sad, disgusting deaths.

I haven't been here in years and wow has it changed. Overall for the better with tons of stores,…read moreplaces to eat, and inviting areas to hang out. As an open air mall, this style of shopping is inviting and enjoyable. Visiting frequently as a kid, it is a completely different experience. Stores are more high end than I remember. Crowds were exponentially greater! Lines for several stores (including Olive Young) to get in and for Ramen blew my mind. If you want a place to watch the world cup, courtyard is ready and inviting. This area was nice with the high rise century city backdrop. Although it was more crowded than I expected, meeting friends for lunch was great. The restaurant choices are wonderful. We planned to eat at one spot, but due to the wait we changed it up and it was a total hit. Parking was crazy! Lines to go up and down, it took forever to pull in a spot. The prices are expensive too if ya make a day here. Very few places validate.

However, this experience proved to be very disappointing, since the problem was mainly caused by…read morethe parking system of the mall. Although this place is clean and offers lots of great stores, the parking system made everything very annoying. The fee system is complicated, and even after shopping, I ended up paying way too much. A place like this one, which claims to offer an exclusive shopping experience, requires a major renovation of its customer service department and parking system. There are many alternatives available in Los Angeles, where people do not leave irritated by the fees related to parking.

The chargers are on roof of the parking structure. The lot is triangular with superchargers located in the three corners. Yes this is an atypical configuration. You may need to make a circuit of the entire lot to find your charger.

This location had more than a dozen chargers out of service in an area where there's not many…read morecharging stations to begin with. The charging station is in a shopping center setting within a garage. The line for charging station was extremely long and extended out the charger area blocking incoming and outgoing traffic. I was already in desperado mode with charging as it was nearing less than 20% charge. I also thought of the what ifs. What if my car died while waiting in line? Like what if we all need to leave quickly because of emergency type of situation. There would have been no way in and out as everyone was piled up bumper to bumper already and it was hard for me to not get stuck there just to leave the queue. I really hope the chargers get repaired soon as this is one of the very few reasonably priced superchargers in the whole area. I sure hope to not encounter another charger anxiety like that in the future!!

The Bottom Line 4 stars: Nice shopping and entertainment complex. A lot of dining, shopping and…read moreentertainment options. As somewhat expected in a highly populated area in a big city, be vigilant and watch out for yourself, because despite cameras everywhere and the occasional security personnel, you tend to see some shady characters lurking around. Location 4 stars: In the Fairfax District area of Los Angeles, to the East of the original Farmer's Market. The Grove has a huge but very busy parking structure, so while you may have to journey to the upper levels, you will eventually find parking. Although some restaurants will validate part of the parking fees, be prepared to pay somewhere between $10 and $30 depending on how long you stay and which stores you visit. Their validation rules are fairly complex and not straightforward, so be sure to read all the fine print. They also have Valet parking on premises. Venue 4 stars: Nice modern open air set up with a Nordstrom, Zara and H&M and a bunch of smaller stores, an AMC movie theater, a Barnes and Noble, a Cheesecake Factory, and a variety of coffee shops and restaurants to fit most tastes and budgets. One catch being that the Grove parking lot cannot be validated by the Farmers Market stores and vice versa. Once you are on premises you can use the trolly to move from one end of the venue to the other. Also keep in mind that the Original Farmers Market is literally next door and attached to the Grove, which dramatically increases your food options.

There's lots of floors and we had to go to the 4th floor. Make sure to bring your ticket to validate parking at one of the stores, we spent our time at Barnes and noble to pick out some things and we validated there. The place was packed on a Sunday, since it's an outdoor area, it was really hot and staying in the stores helped cool us off, especially if they had AC on full blast. Going back to the parking lot was a challenge, since there isn't a parking attendant around, there isn't service you can get help right away. Parking price is expensive if you stay more than 2 hours, I suggest coming for the 2 hours and validate it at a store or if you end up staying longer and reaching full price (max daily), might as well spend the feast of the day there since they already have everything you need for lunch and dinner. FYI, driving out of the 4th floor took some time so if you're in a rush, so is everyone else and some cars go so fast you might not see them in time around sharp turns and yield signs!
