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

It may or may not have been down. Some of the sites out here can pop offline if their cell connection goes away or has issues. Seen it happen to Hamilton and Lubbock where both would go offline but still worked if you pulled up and plugged in. We've also had some nasty wind around here the last...

I haven't been by since before Christmas. There was some big construction project going on right next to the Starbucks, but I don't know what it is. There was no obvious work being done at either the Starbucks itself or the CEFCO across the street. I'll be able to make a trip down in a week or...

You'd have to read through a lot of the other thread regarding the Lubbock Service Center Supercharger to get a lot of this historical context. That thread started off as the general Lubbock thread until the Service Center one was constructed and then it morphed into the thread for service...

Same happened to me. 2023.44.30.2 was offered in the middle of the night last night and it downloaded to 100% and was just waiting for me to click install. It sat there patiently asking me to install all day. Every time I got in the car, I got the update nag but didn't want to do it until I got...

This does NOT confirm Supercharger construction as there was no sign of any Tesla hardware on site... But there is a large plot of land next to the Starbucks with some sort of construction going on. Took a look at the GIS database for Early and both plots aren't owned by the same group so it...

TDLR Posting for a Supercharger at the Target in Abilene, TX. https://www.tdlr.texas.gov/TABS/Search/Project/TABS2024006120 Finally getting a Supercharger in my hometown, yay! On US-84/US-83 and close to US-277. A little far off from I-20 but it isn't bad. Target 3710 Ridgemont Dr Abilene...

The Post Supercharger at the CEFCO on US-84 is now under construction. The cabinets are on site (though still packaged). I didn't expect anything as I was driving through on my way to Levelland but was surprised to see construction. I quickly turned around and pulled in to take some quick pics...

I don't specifically remember seeing this site showing on Supercharge.info. Generally, sites aren't added until we have some sort of confirmed permit (either from local or state authorities). I check the Lubbock's permit DB every couple of days and just checked again. Lots of permits listed but...

Wow, this one went up fast relative to when the TDLR filing went in. Glad it looks to be almost done.

Yeah, don't know why this site is taking so long. There is a CEFCO travel center in Abilene that is being built 10x faster than this. Feels like this has been under construction forever.

I noticed those discrepancies too when I saw this project earlier. Seems like a copy/paste issue or someone hadn't had their coffee yet.

Did you happen to check the CEFCO across the street? Just curious since several new construction Superchargers around this area have been at CEFCOs. I have a theory (not backed up by any hard evidence) that this one is actually going in there and the TDLR filing is wrong. This Starbucks just...

Woo, first v4's in the states... that I know of anyway.

It is open and has been for several weeks now. Not sure what you're looking at. It's open according to Supercharge.info as well. Also shows as online in the Tesla app and in-car nav. Supercharge.info is updated with crowd sourced info, so it may not be real-time. I'd go by the status as shown...

TDLR filing for a Supercharger in Vernon, TX at the CEFCO off of US-287. https://www.tdlr.texas.gov/TABS/Search/Project/TABS2024002022 I've requested to update the name of this thread to "Supercharger - Vernon, TX". 2822 US 287 Vernon, TX 76384

I end up having to come home in a hurry on Tuesday night and wasn't able to stop and look like I thought I would.

I can check it on Wednesday on my way back to Abilene (If it's not online by then). I'm in DFW right now for a couple days. Didn't even think to check on my way into DFW earlier today.

Doesn't look like it yet. Not on the in-car nav, mobile app or website.

Those taxes on your electric bill are not going into the state's road maintenance fund. The EV Road Tax is meant to put about the same amount of money into that fund that an average car that drives an average number of miles does when it buys gas all year. The state calculated EV road tax like...

True, the press release shows that, but Tesla's don't get 2-year stickers. 2-year stickers are only issued to brand new cars sold by a new car dealer recognized and registered with the state... I can't find any new laws that would have modified that rule, so I assume it's still valid. Tesla...

Tesla Charging twitter account posting about San Angelo.

Yep, shows up in the app now too. Not on the in-car nav yet but that always seems to lag behind a bit.

I like this too. Prior to us switching from our ICE to the Tesla for trips between Abilene and Levelland, Post was our mid-trip stop when we needed one. Having this Supercharger (once open) means we can do that again with the Tesla.

New TDLR listing for a Supercharger in Post, TX at a CEFCO off of US-84. 905 N. Broadway St Post, TX 79356 https://www.tdlr.texas.gov/TABS/Search/Project/TABS2023027013 905 N. Broadway St. Post, TX 79356

Technically yes... but that new law does not go into effect until Jan 1, 2025. So, for the rest of 2023/2024, we still have to do the annual inspection.

Lol, I did the trip in my ICE car since the round trip milage on that route would have exceeded my Model Y's range. Ended up being about 4hrs round trip. Just turned-on Spotify on my phone and cruised. I was also bored that day and had nothing else going on.

I'm sorry, didn't remember you from some previous posts that I see now. Must have missed some. I apologize for that. Glad there is someone local.

I don't know of anyone in this thread that lives there. Haven't made it back down since my last trip to check when I drove by both the Brownwood and San Angelo locations.

Thats on I-20 so hopefully more likely for someone to notice. I won't' be out that way for about a month myself.

Glad it does look like it will be paved. Can't wait for this one to be open... Will be by far the most coinvent for my constant trips to the Waco/Temple/Kileen area. Going straight from Abilene to those cities pushes the limits of my range (especially coming back) and if I had any issues mid...

Decided today to visit both the Early and San Angelo sites today. No signs of any construction in Early yet. Hopefully with the San Angelo Supercharger practically done (just missing the utility's transformer) and the Hamilton Supercharger in the middle of construction, this one in Early isn't...

Decided today to visit both the Early and San Angelo sites today. San Angelo does appear pretty much done with the exception of the transformer not being in place yet as stated in some previous posts. The cabinets and posts are installed. Doesn't look like they went with pre-fabs on this...

Wonder if it will stay dirt or if they are going to pave it.

Pleasantly surprised that they are putting one in by Big Bend National Park. Think the Supercharger voting map is like what you say, a "coming soon" map. This location in Terlingua itself is on the current voting map. The voting, may if anything, slightly determine build out priority. Both...

Well then, I have some really good news then for you... lol. There is a permit for a Supercharger in Santo, TX at the I-20 and US-281 crossing :)

Yay. Glad to see this coming finally. It may be up in time for my next trip to Central Texas. San Angelo is pretty far along and hopefully Early (Brownwood) is not far behind.

Yes, Toot'n Totum applied last year to change the address from "Zenith Ave" to "E Slaton Hwy (US 84)". They could do that since the property has frontage to both roads. Not sure exactly why the name was changed but I'm guessing it is so Toot'n Totum can use the more widely known street name in...

SCs for the most part, especially in rural areas aren't necessarily there to serve the locals. They are to facilitate long distance travel. Based on what I can see on supercharge.info's map, it looks like they are trying to electrify a direct route from Houston to Shreveport and this would fall...

Holy cow that was fast. Some of these sites stay permitted for months with no activity and then ones like this and Clyde go under construction relatively quickly.

The I-14 designation is fairly new and also known as the 14th amendment highway. The I-14 designation was approved in 2015. The segment in Killeen/Harker Heights was only just signed in 2017. This was the first signed section of the new interstate, mostly because it was already up to interstate...

I drove through wo weekends ago. I'm also checking the CEFCO station across the street. I'm doing that incase the TDLR filing isn't completely accurate. Think we've seen it be off or with an incorrect address before and there are other SCs in the area going in at a CEFCO like Hamilton... and...

Tesla seems to be opening a corridor between I-10 and I-20. Look at the new permits on supercharge.info in west central Texas. As a practical matter for me, I live in Abilene, and I make trips to Temple and Waco areas several times a year. I would definitely like to use this one. Also, as said...

New TDLR filing for a Supercharger in Harker Heights, TX. Looks like it will be located at the Market Heights shopping center along I-14 per the TDLR filing. 201 E. Central Texas Expy Harker Heights, TX 76548 201 E. Central Texas Expy, Harker Heights, TX 76548...

TDLR Project has been registered for this location. https://www.tdlr.texas.gov/TABS/Search/Project/TABS2023021292

Drove through Lubbock yesterday. The Toot'n Totum is coming along. Still no signs of Supercharger activity either in person or via permits (city & TDLR).

Guess I should have clarified, CCS1 in North America is effectively dead. This has no bearing on other world markets. As an example, CCS2 is necessary in Europe due to prevalence of 3-phase power which NACS can't accommodate. I was all for Tesla going CCS1 on new builds from the factory...

I don't think cable length is dictated by NACS. The short supercharger cables were just because only Tesla's could charge at them and the ports were all in the same spot on the car, so they only had to design for one scenario. V4 chargers have longer cables and I expect any other NACS station...

With the Ford and GM now on board with NACS, CCS1 in north America will now be effectively dead. I predict we will start seeing more auto makers in the US market switch to NACS on new vehicles. I also believe we'll start to see existing CCS charge posts converted to NACS or new NACS posts...

TDLR project has been filed for a Supercharger in San Angelo at the HEB. 5502 Sherwood Way San Angelo, TX 76901 Note, I've submitted to have the thread title modified by removing the "(Maybe)" from the title since it looks like it's happening now...
