Yeah, if that is the pad in front of the cabinets for the transformer, the transformer still seems to be missing (would probably be a big green box). The transformer installation is usually the responsibility of the power utility so that site may just be waiting on that now. No idea what it's...

I saw that this morning to. If he would have led with that originally, may have stopped or at least softened the blow back. I also noticed the Tesla Charging twitter account has become active again. It had been inactive since 4/25. Maybe they have been hiring some people back. I still stand by...

Elon did confirm that any sites that were under construction would be finished and opened. I think there are delays though in getting new Tesla PoC's with the construction crews.

Has the transformer/meter from the utility been installed? Seen other TX sites recently get held up on this step for a while like in Post, TX. Pictures would also be helpful, particularly of the transformer or pad (where it would go if it's not there).

Any projects that had already broken ground at the time of the layoffs were allowed to continue. There have been delays while contractors waited for new Tesla Point of Contacts since most if not all of their old contacts were terminated but anything already under construction should be allowed...

Supposably, any sites under construction will still be completed. Now there may be a delay in wrapping things up because of lot of the contractors have lost their Point of Contacts with Tesla so they are trying to figure out who they need to get in touch with now. This whole layoff thing was...

Yeah, this move makes absolutely no sense to me. I've thought about this a lot since the announcement about the Supercharger team layoffs came out and I still don't get why Elon did it. That is absolutely the last department I would have made cuts from; the Supercharger team was killing it and...

I'm sure this has been posted elsewhere around here but this news doesn't bode well for this Supercharger site or any other that haven't started construction yet... at least in the near term. https://electrek.co/2024/04/29/tesla-conducting-more-layoffs-including-entire-supercharger-team/

May be an expansion going in for this site. New TDLR posting is showing that his site has another project being planned. https://www.tdlr.texas.gov/TABS/Search/Project/TABS2024017110

I'm not sure how much they stick to those dates. I've seen some sites recently go into construction that had original TDLR posting dates back in Oct 2023. The Abi one was put in late November. As some additional context, the Early (Brownwood) one has been on TDLR now for over a year with no...

I think I've seen your Rivian driving around. Those are still a somewhat rare site around here.

Drove by over the weekend. Still no obvious work being done in and around the Starbucks.

Yeah, doesn't show in my Tesla App's map yet either, but it is still active in my car. As of right now, says 8 of 8 stalls available. Tried navigating to Lubbock and it put the Post charger in my route. Not sure why it's not showing up in your car. Try rebooting your MCU maybe?

A new TDLR filing has been created for this Supercharger in Madisonville. May be an expnasion. https://www.tdlr.texas.gov/TABS/Search/Project/TABS2024014870

Also shows up in the car now. This site must have gone live like right after I checked this afternoon. I pulled it up about an hour or two after lunch and didn't see anything.

Works for me...

Those dates listed on TDLR projects are not always reliable. Example: the Abilene TX site said it would start by 1/1/24 and finish by 2/29/24 but no work has actually been started on it yet as of 3/21/24.

This is nice. Hope the trend continues through eastern NM. It is one of the largest DC Fast Charge deserts out there. Took a trip to Ruidoso a year ago and had to go in the ICE car. The EV route was a huge detour over a more direct route. Ruidoso, Rosswell, Carlsbad and Artesia would all be good...

Nothing has started yet. Last looked yesterday. I or the other Abilene resident on here will most likely post pretty quick once something starts.

The Abilene one isn't on it either. I'd actually thought they had abandoned putting "coming soon" spots on the map. Guess not, or whoever is in charge of those spots is very inconsistent with keeping the map updated.

That certainly looks like a meter.

I see most 8-12 stall sites in the $100k - $200k range. I don't know if that cost includes the total cost of construction (eg. dirt work, paving, trenching, etc..) or if it's just the cost for the charging hardware itself. The only time I remember seeing this number much larger is for really...

NACS may help too. The Amarillo V3 is open to third-party NACS charging (Ford only right now) but as they roll out NACS Supercharger access to more automakers, that may increase their traffic as the V2 site won't be compatible with non-Tesla NACS cars. Anyway, don't want this thread about a...

The employee thinks the low performance of the Amarillo Toot'n Totum V3 site has to do with the fact that as cars are being routed through I-40 in Amarillo, they are getting sent to the older V2 charger more often than to the newer V3 one. The older V2 site sees more cars on average then the...

Talked to a Tesla Lubbock Tesla employee today. They confirmed that this service center Supercharger will close to the public once a proper Lubbock Supercharger opens and will be reconfigured for service use only. Right now, it's looking like the newly permitted University Ave (Target) location...

I have a little bit of an update on this as I got some inside info from a Lubbock Tesla employee today regarding this Toot'n Totum site. This location on US-84 has been put on hold by Toot'n Totum themselves. It's still technically planned but construction wont progress until Toot'n Totum gives...

Assuming that is the transformer for the Supercharger and not the CEFCO, that is a good sign. Usually once the transformer is plopped down, site activation isn't too far behind.

It's not on the maps yet. Did you or her notice if the utility transformer was there? That is what has been missing for a while now. Should be a big greenish box on a concrete pad.

Just to confirm, you see the "Tesla" branded stalls? It's not another DC Fast Charge network, right? I searched TDLR for Pleasanton and Atascosa County Supercharger filings and can't find anything within the last year or two... unless I'm just blind or tired. This location is outside the limits...

Ok, figured out what is going next-door to the Starbucks. It's a Tidal Wave Auto Spa (and they are hiring! lol). So, most likely not Supercharger related at all. Still no signs of any construction at the Starbucks. There is a large-ish space at the CEFCO across the street that is coned off now...

Unless someone else checks in with a report, I try to drive by monthly. It's a bit out of the way for me to go a lot but once a month is fine.

Nothing new. Drove through today and no signs of any construction at or around the Starbucks... aside from whatever is being built next to the Starbucks but that doesn't seem to be Supercharger related.

Late evening TDLR posting for a Supercharger in Falfurrias, TX at a Circle K. TDLR posting has some more details than usual. Site will include (2) Charger Cabinets, (8) Charge Posts and a 600A disconnect. 300 S St. Mary's St. Falfurrias, TX 78355...

Looks like a new TDLR project was filed for this Supercharger. Adding more stalls? https://www.tdlr.texas.gov/TABS/Search/Project/TABS2024011547

Whoops, forgot to put the TDLR link in the OP. Here it is: https://www.tdlr.texas.gov/TABS/Search/Project/TABS2024011517

TDLR Filing for a Supercharger at a QuikTrip in Wichita Falls right off of I-44. 1526 Old Iowa Park Rd. Wichita Falls, TX 76306 1526 Old Iowa Park Rd. Wichita Falls, TX 76306

Haven't been down in a while. Was going to go check this week... need to go to Brownwood anyway for something else.

It does really seem to be open. Tesla posted about the Sealy site on their Tesla Charging X account... with a picture even.

Yeah, I heard the I-27 designation had been approved to be extended as the highway is brought up to interstate standards. I don't really like the E/W designations of interstates like I-35 E/W in DFW and Minneapolis/St. Paul or the ridiculousness of I-69 E/C/W in South Texas. Wish one route would...

TDLR filing for Supercharger in Mathis, Tx at the Exxon Travel Center. https://www.tdlr.texas.gov/TABS/Search/Project/TABS2024010911 10538 Tx 359 Mathis, TX 78368

TDLR filing for Supercharger in Lubbock at the Target on University Ave. https://www.tdlr.texas.gov/TABS/Search/Project/TABS2024010904 Not the one at the Toot'n Totum as I was expecting. Wonder if plans have changed for that since that Toot'n Totum was so delayed with construction... I guess...

Funny, the Tesla part of the site went up relatively quickly. Been waiting on a transformer longer than the construction lasted at this point, I think. Wonder if the utility doesn't have any of the proper transformers on hand...

For the most part, I think they've stopped putting "coming soon" spots on the map. I haven't really seen any new "coming soon" pins lately aside from the ones that win in the quarterly voting. None of the newer Superchargers in West Texas had "coming soon" pins either like Clyde, San Angelo...

No idea. Nothing has been filed with TDLR as far as I know. Strangely enough, I just found two new TDLR filings for the existing Buc-ees Superchargers in Bastrop and New Braunfels which I assume are expansions. Edit: @Guacahummus beat me to the punch. Guess there is somethign but wasn't filed...

Possible expansion working coming to this site? New TDLR filing, though I think they messed up the address in the filing. The address is slightly off from the Address of the Buc-ees. The filing has 2740U IH 35 N while the Existing Buc-ees and supercharger is at 2760 N Interstate 35. Don't think...

Possible expansion working coming to this site? A new TDLR filing has been made for it. https://www.tdlr.texas.gov/TABS/Search/Project/TABS2024009747

Is the transformer still missing? Don't think the pad was in that picture.

No construction work yet. I frequent this Target a lot, so I'll know pretty quick once construction starts. I think there is another Abilene resident that is on this board as well so between the two of us, we should catch it really fast.

Installing Magic docks perhaps? Usually, they pull those signs down when opening up the chargers to Non-Teslas.
