Just went by there this evening. Looks all done except for the transformer.

The view as of last night (April 5):

Was by there last week, didn't see anything going on yet.

The two chargers closest to IH20 (southernmost) aren't working. On Friday I tried charging on the one on the end and got a charging error message on my screen. Same thing happened on the next one over. I was getting nervous thinking that this was a problem with my car. Then I went over to one of...

Went by there this morning, still nothing going on.

Hot dam! Just what the doctor ordered. Will definitely help relieve congestion at the Lindale station.

"Could use one or two further east but this is a good start."

Nice, less than 10 minutes from my house. CityLine parking lots are often full of Teslas. Finally a SC station within the metroplex east of 75 (not counting those right on 75). Could use one or two further east but this is a good start.

Good. Now hopefully Fuel City will install these Superchargers at their other locations soon.

So I went by today and the answer is "I don't know". They are obviously completely installed but I didn't see any in use so it's not clear if they received the final clearance. I didn't drive there in a Tesla so I couldn't try it for myself.

I'm going to that Fuel City Wednesday to make a delivery so I'll see then if the chargers are up and running.

I saw 12 stalls. The left side of the area fenced off could easily take on four more but it doesn't look as if they're going to install anything in that portion. I think they're using that space to put construction-related stuff like a trailer and spools of cables. You can sort of see what I'm...

Coincidentally, I had to deliver some popcorn snacks to this Fuel City today, so FWIW I went ahead and snapped some pics of the progress:

Yes, Fuel City's are like miniaturized Bucee's.

That would be outstanding if it comes to fruition. The Wylie and Mesquite Fuel City locations are no where near existing SC stations.

Made a quick drive by on my way out of DFW this morning. They’re still working to finish this up:

Yep. Was there yesterday starting out at 32% SOC and that's pretty much what happened.

Don't want to speak for @homero89 but I think he's referring to what pulled up when he clicked on the pin's link. Preston Rd is no where near where that pin is placed.

Thanks. I realize this thread doesn't really belong here, I'll delete it in the next day or so.

That would explain what happened several years when I previously saw this pin there. It turned out to be the Shops of Legacy location. So what, if anything, can we take from this? That they are planning a SC station somewhere in Plano that we're not yet privy to?

Looked at Tesla's Supercharger map today and found where a Supercharger station is planned next quarter right in the heart of downtown Plano, at 15th and Ave K. I have a vague memory of seeing this location tagged for an upcoming SC station before some 3-4 years ago and it never materialized, so...

New Braunfels Buc-ee's is best Buc-ee's (in Texas) according to this guy. OK, so not very on-topic but having Superchargers didn't figure at all into his rankings and my admittedly biased self thinks it should. Nonetheless, a pretty decent read...

Interesting, it's 3.3 miles/7 minutes from the Supercharger station they are planning for Allen, also on Stacy Road. Sam Rayburn travelers will soon have a lot of options.

It's updated now.

Agreed. And so close to Toyota's North American HQ, it feels almost like trolling :cool:

That helps for sure, but those locations are outside of DFW.

Then they need to put one on 121, not another one off the Dallas Tollway in Plano.

Then why not just expand/upgrade that one? There's certainly room for it instead of putting a whole new one just 5 minutes away with less restaurants/hotels/living units within walking distance and also further away from 121. I could not agree more the the entire DFW area is very underbuilt...

That checks out. It just doesn't make a whole lot of sense for Tesla to put a Supercharger station there, at least at this time.

Even after all the issues that have come out with the MME, some in the media are still in love with it. This reads like a "Paid Content" type article: Ford’s Mustang Mach-E electric crossover is a hit with industry insiders — that could help it take on Tesla

In all fairness to Rivian, they expect to deliver R1T’s before the November IPO. And for all we know, they may have already delivered 80 delivery vans to Amazon.

Supposedly, the ranges that Ford are quoting is with 1,000 lbs of cargo, But I'll believe it when I see it. https://electrek.co/2021/05/28/ford-f150-lightning-range-cargo/

The hits, they just keep coming... https://electrek.co/2021/08/20/gm-expands-bolt-recall-to-all-chevy-bolts-blames-supplier-lg/

It's Business Insider, what do you expect?

Yeah, I miss listening to all those Tejano music stations but what can you do?

Was just coming here to post that. I'd also add that Rivian's pickups aren't quite as massive as the Lightnings (about 15" shorter), they could carve out a nice niche selling to customers who'd like to be able fit their trucks in the garage.

I know that the Echo Auto can be USB powered, just not sure what kind of USB cable comes with it. I have the console with the USB-C ports, too, but I figured I can get the right USB adapter (or cable) for cheap regardless of what kind of USB cable actually comes with the Echo.

It was still selling for $20 today so after reading through this thread, I felt like the Echo Auto was well worth the risk for that price.

I saw that about blind-spot detection but thought you were discussing the rear cross-traffic alert. That said, I was wrong. They do use cameras for some safety features, but not the rear cross-traffic alert. I found elsewhere that radar is used for that. It's halfway down this page: Subaru...

Nope. Subaru does it with cameras: Subaru Drive

I've used Smart Summon a few times just for sh!ts and giggles, as recently as yesterday. After watching this video, it's clear that I should quit doing that while I'm ahead.

You won't get to pick which factory your MY comes from. If it goes like what Musk had said in the past, it's going to depend on where the car is to be delivered, i.e., east US deliveries from Texas, west US deliveries from Fremont. It could take up to a year before Tx MY's get the 4680...

Thanks for breaking it down for us @Just a Reader According to this article below, the EQS price is estimated to be about $113,000. That's a little cheaper than an S Plaid, much more expensive than the base Model S. Supposed to arrive in the US this fall...

I hope you're right about that, but these reports of Bolts catching fire have been in the mainstream news. I'm no GM fan either but I want to see public acceptance of all EVs and from afar, the Bolt looked like one of the best EV values out there. Even though this isn't applicable to the current...

More than a week later, this finally triggered a recall to replace the batteries: https://electrek.co/2021/07/23/gm-announces-recall-after-a-dozen-bolt-ev-fires-6-key-questions-we-need-answers-to/

Looks like the Mach-E purchasing experience is just as terrible for some as the owning experience. Holy 🐮 indeed: https://cleantechnica.com/2021/07/19/ford-mustang-mach-e-buyer-shares-horrible-dealership-experiences-extreme-price-markups-random-1000-dealership-fees-enraged-salespeople/ Some of...

Power outages were pretty common for the 13 years I lived in SA. Maybe CPS has upped their game since then but it's still all under the ERCOT grid and the entire grid was minutes away from a complete shutdown last February. Hope your luck continues, though.

Was fully expecting this after not hearing a peep from Rivian as their prior July deliveries timeline arrived. Reading between the lines, it sounds like the main culprit is the chip shortage that's impacting the entire auto industry; not much they can do about this. Hopefully, the start of...

For all the media hype over the Mach-E, the Bolt sold more than twice as much in the US for the first four months of the year (13,611 vs 6,104). It was America's best selling EV that's not a Tesla. Given that these two models were the closest to M3 and MY sales and both are experiencing...
