A charging hub of such scale is rare in a major city due to land costs.
The plan also includes a 416-square-foot "micro-amenity" building with vending machines.
Tesla is making a major bet on demand from urban EV owners by planning an unusually large charging hub in San Francisco.
Plans filed with the city show that Tesla is planning for 124 V4 Supercharger stalls at 75 Waterloo Street, a triangular vehicle storage lot near the intersection of Alemany Boulevard and Bayshore Boulevard, alongside Highway 101.
The proposed station would be among Tesla's largest globally, and a rare project of that scale inside a major city.
By comparison, Tesla's planned V4 Supercharger at 25 Mason Street, near Market Street in the city, would have 35 stalls.
That permit application was submitted on May 18.

Official Tesla Filings Tesla's biggest charging hubs are typically built along heavily traveled interstate corridors, where land is cheaper and demand surges during road-trip season.
The hub sits at the crucial location where the 101 meets Interstate 280, which leads to the Peninsula, Silicon Valley , and San Francisco International Airport .
It's also not far from Bernal Heights and the Bayview, which have significant residential populations.
Some of Tesla's largest charging locations include a 200-stall station in Yeehaw Junction, Florida, and a 164-stall station in Kern County, California.
