I take a fair number long trips. I also live in a very hot place. Any thoughts about the Hankook's ability to deal with heat?

Actually, Supercharge.info posted it as open on April 5.

It's on the phone app -

The old one is still open - and it shows as being full. Since the new one doesn't show up in the app yet, perhaps there will be enough who don't about the new one and you can get a charge there.

And in the app.

Has anyone tried auto lane change and passing yet?

Progress is being made. They were putting the transformer in place. There is still a fair amount of work to be done as well, such as finishing the concrete work in front of the stalls.

Wow! Tesla is really saturating the routes into the Brownsville area - presumably for SpaceX launches. Besides this one in Robstown on I-69E, new and existing SCs include: Existing near I-69E in Brownsville Permitted in Brownsville to supplement the existing one (closest to SpaceX) Existing...

It's hard to say. This permit is only a month old. There are some permits that are well over a year old. There are a lot of things that go into building a Supercharger - things like getting the power to the location, timeline for the contractors, how long it takes for the local utility to...

Yea!!! Maybe the Supercharger desert that is SE New Mexico is about to be populated!!

I'm in trouble. My wife loves IKEA. This could get expensive having an SC there.

No - I went to the first one, and it was a mob scene! Not for me. I was like most and watched it on television.

I'm posting this during the afternoon of the third SpaceX Starship launch. And, as expected, the SCs on the routes back north are loaded up. The traffic is clearing on the ones in deep south Texas as the "herd" moves north. Harlingen - 5 open McAllen - full Kingsville - full Three Rivers -...

Thanx to @Guacahummus for posting all these new NEVI sites. It will be a great way to follow the progress of NEVI in Texas. Plugshare has a number of NEVI sites posted as "Coming Soon." Many of them are listed as having both CCS and "Tesla" plugs. (I assume they mean NACS plugs.) An example...

Yes YES YES !

Interesting too that Love's applied for another charger at the Three Rivers Supercharger location. I assume some will be NACS plugs and the rest CCS. Looks like many (most?) of the big travel center chains are putting in chargers. From a business perspective, this makes sense to me.

The photo above shows the Travel America logo.

I live about 2 1/2 miles from the current SC. One the one hand, I can't say this is a surprise. The current one stays pretty busy and its not that unusual for it to be full. On the other hand, there is another NEVI site going in at the Love's Travel Center just north of Edinburg on...

No on either question.

I took delivery of my Model X LR on March 1. It is my second Tesla, having owned a Model Y for 3 years, 4 months and 70,000 miles. The delivery could not have been more painless. I was cheerfully given as much time as I wanted for an inspection. I found three gaps in body panels, only one of...

Good job - and thanx. This will allow me to by pass the SA Superchargers on the way back to the Rio Grande Valley.

Checked it an hour ago. Still zip, zero, zilch.

Just picked mine up on Friday, March 1st after three happy years with a Model Y. I'm loving my new X! One niggling problem is the lack of internal storage (when compared to the Y). The only thing I have found so far are under seat storage boxes. Any other ideas? Anybody have a brand of...

Still not up.

Still not up. Chargers all set, cabinets there, transformer there - even the meter. I even tried to plug in, but no juice. Maybe they're waiting for the mayor to cut the ribbon. Anyway, the old place is still there - and it works.

Woo hoo! When the southeast trade winds howl at 30mph, this will make the trip from Three Rivers to the Valley less "interesting."

Great location! I like this better than the one at Toot 'n Totum.

Looking forward to using this one during a planned trip to California. I even have a nearby hotel booked for my return trip. Will be nice to have something to eat in beautiful downtown Ozona.

Happy to see this. For my trips from the Valley to Denver, I had to charge at the Amarillo Bivd site among the hotels. It was often full and always slow. It was also off my route. This will solve those problems.

Looks like another company's chargers. For one thing, it specifies only three chargers - or "dispensers" as it written. In two different places, it refers to "charge point" in lower case letters. That might be a clerical error referring to Charge Point. Mercdes Benz has partnered with Charge...

Interesting that the project application actually says V4 posts. I wonder when we will see actual V4 installtions rather than V4 with V3 cabinets. This will be on the direct route between Giga Texas and Giga Mexico, so it's plausible this could be an actual V4 used as a real world test.

Went by today. As you can see, the meter is installed. (The transformer was there before the permit was even granted.) The stalls are striped, though as yet, there is nothing to keep cars from backing into the chargers. As Get-Atty posted above, it is a split site. The main site is where...

Charged there for the first time - and was not surprised at seeing problems with the location. Having it at the Quarry Market is great, but behind the shops in a tight place caused this. You can't really fault the delivery truck - the driver had no choice as parking in front of the...

Perfect timing! I'm in San Antonio now, and that will be my "go home" charge.

Excellent! EXCELLENT!

Thanks for the report.

Come on meter!!!

Oh yeah!!!! Now, get the meter installed and for CPS to turn on the juice!!!

Actually, that is a fun trip. I did it once on my motorcycle.

I've wondered the same thing. I do know that the city owns the power company in San Antonio. I wonder if there is some sort of opposition to EVs within the utility - or than again, it might simply be that transformers are in short supply.

Went by today to take a look. The cabinets and the transformer (when it gets there) are enclosed in a locked enclosure. I was able to shoot two photos: one pic of two cabinets and the other the pad for the transformer. This is a different set up. There are six pull-in stalls and six...

I was disappointed to see no change to the site since I last checked on November 15. While the equipment is in place, there is still no sign of actual construction.

70, eh? Damned kids!!! Hee hee. My wife has Parkinson's. She could drive in a pinch, but we agree she is no longer safe, for herself or the public. No - never tried calibrating the camera. There have been all kinds of "fixes" mentioned on the forums, but nothing that seems to actually work...

Fair question. It's just that my circumstances are different from most folks. At age 80, most likely this will be my last car. As I wrote earlier, I'm spending my adult children's inheritance - and all three have strongly encouraged me to get the X. Also, my wife can no longer drive for...

After a demo drive today, I am even more impressed with the MX. The demo car had a yoke, and it was not as bad as I had anticipated - but if I buy, I'll get a wheel. A couple of things - and I'd like anyone's input. The so-called sun visors are a mere wisp. My (very) short wife normally...

And it appears that Tesla equipment has begun. Looks like construction has started.

When I test drove the MS, I was surprised at how quickly I adapted to the buttons. Sure sure - when I needed to turn on the signals quickly to make a lane change, muscle memory sent me to the stalk, but I don't see that as a problem. I didn't try the horn - as many of you have said, I hardly...

I was about to start a thread on this topic, then I found this. I've owned my Model Y for three years - and love the car! Since we are long retired, we've traveled to see the son in Florida three times, the older daughter in California once, and my brother in Denver twice. With over 61k...

The proper way to rotate tires is to swap fronts and swap rears?

I've thought that where 1604 joins I 37 south of San Antonio would be a great place for a SC.
