Yes, back in the day we used to say the planned supercharger map was more aspirational than informational.

This servIce plaza can be accessed heading either eastbound of westbound, but Tesla navigation and google maps navigation incorrectly show it as being accessible going eastbound only. If you’re heading west from KC, nav tries to take you to the next exit to turn around and go back on the highway...

No, you’re thinking of urban superchargers which are 72kW. v2 superchargers such as this one are 150 kW.

At Oklahoma City supercharger now. 8 cars waiting. I started at 12% and only got 63kW. Stall 4B is not working. Avoid this stop if you can.

What’s with all the Christmas music on Slacker lately? Over the past week I’ve had Christmas music repeatedly on Ingrid Michaelson station, Sara Bareilles station, and today on Sheryl Crow. That’s never happened before in 9 years of driving Teslas.

One of the first Model S owners in Austin (2013), and a Model 3 for myself and a Model Y for my wife since then. No invite.

It’s on the Tesla find us map- says opening Q3 2021: https://www.tesla.com/en_IE/findus?v=2&bounds=32.84536687881885%2C-96.75638323027127%2C32.82048558994598%2C-96.80702333647244&zoom=15&filters=supercharger&search=Dallas%2C%20TX%2C%20USA&location=DallasTXsupercharger

OK, but is this one being built on Park Lane the one the map shows as being south of Mockingbird?

The Tesla supercharger map shows a projected one off 75 south of Mockingbird. Is this actually the one being built much further north on Park Lane?

The address is a shopping center at the intersection of 71 and 290. It has to be a supercharger. There are no hotels there which might be installing a destination charger, and anyway permits for 240V circuits for destination chargers don’t usually specify it’s for Tesla.

It is Ford and GM as much as the auto dealers. At the last Texas house committee hearing on a Tesla sales bill, I think in 2017, both the auto manufacturers trade group and GM testified against the bill. That was the same year GM lobbyists killed a bill in the Maryland legislature liberalizing...

I wonder if this replaces the one planned for Georgetown that hasn’t happened. Just a few miles apart on I-35.

Still happening, or are you referring to what happened in 2013? I see you’ve been around long enough to remember that Temple was on the original plan along with Hillsboro to cover the Austin- Dallas route. Political pressure from the dealers caused Temple to reject a supercharger, and that’s how...

No. The icons for planned supercharges don’t show exact locations, just the section of the city they will be in. Usually a location hasn’t even been contracted for yet when a planned supercharger shows up on the map. Also remember that Tesla’s planned supercharger map is more aspirational than...
