We'll wait and see. I doubt that any Supercharger station currently under construction will be abandoned, and this one can be easily expanded in the future. Elon tweeted 2024,0430@1432, "Tesla still plans to grow the Supercharger network, just at a slower pace for new locations and more focus on...

Just to close the loop: I did charge at the UFO McDonald's on April 6 on the way to Dallas for the solar eclipse. I Supercharged to 95% in Socorro NM and could almost make it to the new SC in Post TX. I only need about 25 miles, so I stopped at the L2 chargers at the UFO McDonald's in Roswell. I...

Did the guys say if they were going to stop at 8 stalls or continue with the full 12 stalls + 4 L2 stalls?

Makes you wonder if this is going to initially be an 8-stall or 12-stall installation. The plans talk about expansion to 12 + 4 L2 stalls. Conduit and some concrete are in for 12 + 4 L2, so we'll see.

It's showing up now. BTW, when I first saw "at the Best Buy on S Wadsworth Blvd", I thought it was referring to the under-discussion Best Buy in Belmar, located at 384 S Wadsworth Blvd in Lakewood. Yes, there are 2 Best Buy locations on S Wadsworth! :cool:

Great minds think alike! :cool: I just went by there yesterday right before sunset. Your photos are better than mine, but I will add a couple shots of the existing transformer (and telecom box), both of which look like they've suffered some years of abuse. The top was off the telecom box and I...

250 kW Superchargers are great if you want to minimize stopping time, like in Clayton NM at night when nothing is open, but they charge too fast if you want to stop for a leisurely meal or shop (and not have to move the car :cool:). You can often grab take-out, but many of my Supercharger stops...

Thanks, I see that now! BTW, know it's off topic here, but I wonder if Tesla will ever put a Supercharger in Taos? This last trip between Denver and Albuquerque I charged in Alamosa, and that was the only charge stop I needed. Last fall Alamosa wasn't yet built, so I charged in Poncha Springs...

I would have stopped in Childress if I had known how much better it is than Quanah. This is my first time on US-287 in a Tesla, though. Maybe time for a Supercharger rating page! Maybe there already is one somewhere? Score points for: congestion friendliness general cleanliness restroom...

24 more stalls should definitely help! :cool:

I've read that as well, and I guess Telsa isn't having too much of a problem with people backing into the chargers, though I saw a photo of one bent over at about a 45° angle in CA, forgot which station. This is interesting because Socorro isn't a MagicDock station. Well, at least the stall I...

Heh, heh, sorry, I didn't say what day I hit that Supercharger. It was April 9.

Charged here on April 6, 2024 and saw my first Cybertruck pull up right after I did. Something else I noticed is that the tire stops seen in the Aug 15, 2022 photo are now gone and you can see where they originally were. However, after looking at the 2022 photo again, it looks like the tire...

Great station because it's covered and a Whole Foods is right there with nice restrooms and fresh food for the road.

This was a cool station with the pull-in stalls, but I got there about 10:30p so nothing around was open. It was about half busy, maybe because of people like me returning from the total solar eclipse in Dallas.
