I recall him posting pics of his S charging at various superchargers in eastern Canada. Same blue car as in his profile pic for a long time, so I don't think that's correct.

New equipment pad with different layout, new supercharger cabinets, new conduit** (V3 uses a larger size) between cabinets and stalls, new wiring, new pedestals, and possibly a new utility transformer. It's basically tear everything out and redo the whole site, which is why Tesla never**** does...

The VW settlement included two separate pots of money. First was that VW had to invest $2B Zero Emission Vehicles (ZEV) charging infrastructure and in the promotion of ZEVs, they did this through the creation of Electrify America. Then, separate from that, VW also was required to give $3B to a...

Plus they've already partnered with Tesla on 3 other sizable charging plaza locations, the Marengo Garage, the Arroyo parkway lot, and the location on S. Lake that is just starting to be built.

No, there are plenty of sites with an odd number of stalls. If you want to see some, go to the Data page on supercharge.info, use the drop downs at the top of the page to show whatever region/country you're interested in, and sort the list by number of stalls. You'll see that the vast...

I'm guessing one of those wasn't supposed to be Shreveport.

LOL!!! Huge pre-construction delays due to Tesla being bad with paperwork happen so regularly it sometimes seems to almost be the norm. The problem is that they are working on too many locations for the size of their teams. Things like 1 or 2+ month waits between plans resubmittals to address...

Wow, I didn't realize anyone was doing plug-in hybrid conversions. :D

What a noob that @Bighorn is. /s

Yeah, they often add new V3 stalls at an existing V2 site. They've done that in dozens and dozens of locations. My point was that they don't remove the old V2 equipment and replace it with new V3 equipment at the same site. They only add more stalls or build a whole new site nearby.

There's some issue with posting from phones that causes double posts sometimes. Whenever I see them I just assume that's the problem.

Kettleman is also one of the few supercharger locations that Tesla owns outright. I only listed Fremont and the design studio in my original comment as examples but could just as easily have changed one of them to Kettleman City without altering the statement at all.

I don't have any first-hand knowledge of whether they have or not, but Rivian's own information about their planned network/stations say that they plan to exclude all non-Rivian vehicles from using their DCFC stations but will let any make use their L2 EVSE stations. From their Charging page:

Important caveat: This is only true at Rivian L2 stations (like the one Parakeet83 used). Rivian's DCFC stations are for Rivians only. Even though they use a CCS connector, CCS capable cars from other makes can't use them.

Tesla never** does that. **Besides their initial testing deployments of V3 equipment at fully Tesla owned properties (e.g. the Fremont factory and LA design studio), there's only 1 other site where they removed the old V2 equipment and then rebuilt the site with V3 (New York JFK, NY).
