Addressing False Statements: Harris Ranch Refutes Misinformation on Property Use
COALINGA, CA [October 12, 2023] — Amidst swirling internet rumors and concerns brought forth by our valued patrons, Harris Ranch Hospitality Division is addressing a particular false statement circulating online.
A quote attributed to Andrew Pridgen, claiming, “Hidden in plain sight across the way from the Harris Ranch Supercharger’s main stations, behind a Shell station, is a small diesel plant that has helped power Tesla’s footprint,” has sparked a flurry of inquiries and concerns.
Setting the Record Straight
We categorically deny the allegations posed by this statement for the following reasons:
- The building indicated is not, nor has it ever been a diesel plant. Initially a car wash station, it was converted into a battery swap-out station in 2015 and is now a storage facility and office for the Harris Ranch Express BBQ management team, also featuring a walk-in refrigerator.
- There are no diesel plants or diesel generators on our property, a point we fervently assert.
- While we host Tesla’s charging infrastructure, it is crucial to note that Tesla merely leases the property from Harris Ranch. We neither own nor operate the charging station.
Open Invitation for Verification
Harris Ranch prides itself on a foundation of transparency and forthrightness with our patrons. Consequently, we warmly invite our customers and concerned parties to personally visit and inspect our property. We are confident that any evaluation will substantiate our statements regarding the absence of diesel power facilities at the Harris Ranch Resort.
Acknowledgment to Our Patrons
We express our gratitude to our customers who have brought this matter to our attention, affirming that we value your trust and will consistently act to preserve it.
