On a recent trip in Germany I was driving a rented Audi Q8 e-tron. As a very long time Tesla owner I assumed that accessing the non-Tesla accessible superchargers would be easy, but I was wrong. The guidance from the relevant Tesla site (https://www.tesla.com/support/non-tesla-supercharging)...

Oct 9, got here at noon, 3/6 taken. 1 not working. First (half)stall only 45 kW, other choice up to 60. Full plus 2 waiting at 12:30. Transformer area smells of urine. Bad supercharger experience.

can confirm that 2 pedestal lights off, but charging fine at 2b

I've charged there maybe 5 times and agree with TexasEV. Particularly since I know where it is, location is not a problem and many others are further from the highway or harder to find. I don't think I ever saw even 1 ICE. Maybe 1 or 2 bad pedestals, but never a real problem and that happens...

Also a 2013 S85 owner. Range is obviously unrealistic at higher speeds, but I agree 100% that it is quite predictable once you get the hang of it. On longer trips my goal is to come in to the next supercharger with 20 miles or so to maximize charging rate, and once you know you can make it you...

Was planning to go to Atlanta because I didn't think the TX galleries would be able to take reservations. Glad that i called to ask before I bought a ticket! Guessed that Houston North would be easier than the Galleria, which was right, and got there before 7:00 to be 14th in line. About 150...

14 people in line at Houston North. Looks like I am the only owner. Gonna be more than 100,00 today.

Don't think that the Galleria itself opens until 10 AM. About The Galleria - A Shopping Center in Houston, TX - A Simon Property

I just spoke to the Houston TX Gallery and they confirmed that they would be taking reservations. Details on time not yet available, but this saves me a flight to ATL.

Was there this weekend. A bit disappointed that the Stripes does not have anything beyond the usual convenience store (some do). But there is an empty restaurant space next to it that may bring something better. And there is coffee and a small shop in the LaQuinta lobby. Lip is not gigantic...

The cables are definitely in the stalls, but can't say on transformer.

They were working this afternoon, and looks pretty close to the finish. Active this week???

And the blue dot is there...

Not on supercharge.info, yet, but there is a new (I think?) grey "coming soon" flag on the official Tesla site! Supercharger | Tesla Motors

Did Charlotte to Decatur in my S85 straight through today. Left Charlotte SC with 255 rated miles (2 years old, full is 257). Started slow and got ahead on projected range, spent some of it going a bit faster and ended up getting hit with enough rain near Atlanta to make it pretty tight. Ended...
