A couple visits to West Texas superchargers: Jan. 14, Clyde, TX Jan. 15, Big Spring, TX Lubbock, TX

In light of Texas having its own electric Grid, and the complete failure of deploying electricity in Feb. '21. Causing literally hundreds of people to die from freezing to death in their homes. And Superchargers don't work too well without a (reliable) source of electricity.

Quanah, TX opened today.... I expect Temple, TX to open in next several days (if the extreme cold doesn't delay it further). All 48 stalls...

8425 Precinct Line Rd North Richland Hills, TX First to check-in They used precast modules for supercharger and electrical equipment, power is from several transformers mounted on adjacent power poles.

The attached photo was posted on North Texas Tesla Owners Facebook post. Two fully assembled modules, being shipped to Buc-ee's @ Temple, TX for installation. Streamlining the process.

I became more curious about the possibility of precast panels when I noticed this on Nov. 9 at another new supercharger opening In McKinney (7703 Stacy Rd). The digging had caused some damage to existing irrigation system piping, so the ground had not been properly leveled and manicured to...

3526 W University Dr McKinney, TX First to check-in Noticing module of four chargers with one large single white electrical equipment cabinet at several recent Superchargers. Wonder if the concrete piece is precast with all the conduits installed, so they can dig a large hole, level the sub...

I do wonder, if in addition to Tesla Wall Connectors/Destination Chargers IF for the Urban chargers (78 kW)if that device might be able to be used? Or, is it simply that DC power at Superchargers is not compatible with VW's architecture and charging capabilities? If the power source must go...

I apologize if this is not in the correct thread. Yesterday, I was charging at Melissa, TX, and a VW ID.4 pulls in. After the driver got correctly aligned with the supercharger stall and charge port extension wire, I asked her two questions: "Is this your first EV?" And "How much research (of...

Melissa, TX First to check-in Another day, Another Buc-ee's

Stopped @ Madisonville, TX Another Buc-ee's in the fold Lots of chargers Pods of four seems to be their build module.

First to check-in College Station, TX 1910 Texas Ave. S Next large HEB And their gas station...

First to check-in Red Oak, TX They do have fried pies inside. Bulk of the building and site is under major renovations, and improvements. Lots of mud...

Allen, 939 W Stacy Rd, TX First to check in

Addison, TX FIRST Day opening

Had a quick visit to parts of Austin this past weekend for one of my nieces' wedding. Prior to that, Nov. 9: McKinney, Stacy Road,TX **Opening Day, first to visit Nov. 11: Round Rock, TX Nov. 13: Bee Cave, TX Nov. 14: Austin, Brodie Lane,TX Austin, S Lamar Blvd, TX...

First Day visit to new Supercharger at Buc-ee's in Ennis last night. 24 new stalls, all kinds of foods and goodies inside. Several more superchargers are currently slated for other Buc-ee's locations.

It's been a while since I have visited new (to me) superchargers, Please add: Dallas, S Riverfront Blvd, TX Sept. 15 Denison, TX Oct. 8 St. Louis, Mcree Ave, M0 Oct. 9 Urbana, IL Oct. 9 Veedersburg, IN...

Visited a couple of new Superchargers: Abbott, TX, April 18 Centerville, TX, May 3 Houston, TX 9633 Westheimer, May 4

Lindale is somewhat 'busy' on weekends. More so around holidays, people going to Shreveport for the long weekend to gamble. One of my sisters lives in Tyler area, so I visit there consistently. I have never seen Lindale's superchargers more than half full. There are broken up into two groups...

I had about 60 miles, so maybe 27%. I was in my Model S, 2013. Pretty sure my Model 3 will get a better charge rate.

Charged at Park Lane in Dallas, TX (first) Had anticipated 250 kW Charging at 75 kW At least there are 16 stalls.

Am at the location now, charging. Maybe 75 kW Certainly not 250 as indicated on supercharge.info Another Urban charge location in DFW? At least there are 16 stations, an improvement from 11 stations at The Hill.

There is no fee to enter that 3 Level garage. It can be entered from: ** top level outside Whole Foods via down ramp. ** 2nd level from Blackwell St. straight into garage at Supercharger on your right. You are able to cross Dart Rail on Blackwell St. from Greenville Ave. ** If you head...

The best way to describe the parking structure with the supercharger location is this: There is a Dart Rail on the East side of the Property. Greenville Ave. is adjacent and to the East of the Dart Rail. The superchargers are on the Southeast corner of that parking garage on the 2nd Level, just...

Agreed with most points by johnny_m_b about the site. Blackwell St entrance brings you at the right end of the Superchargers, at the correct level of the Parking Garage. There are at least three other ways to get to the Superchargers, including via Park Lane, and then go up to Level 2. I had...

I stopped by Denton for a charge on Sunday afternoon. It was full, and at least two cars waiting to charge. LOTS of traffic going both ways (especially North bound), as Ardmore Supercharger had the same issue. Just need a bit of patience until others had their charge completed.

Three new visits on Oct. 8: Concordia, MO Brentwood, MO Collinsville, IL Also drove by two Superchargers under Construction: Nevada, MO --All the equipment seemed to be in place, but there is a major bridge under construction a couple of blocks away, Bridge is due to Open Summer of 2022...

Visited a couple new Supercharger locations: Friday 5/21 Van Buren, AR Joplin, MO South Main St (Drove by original location in Joplin, at least two cars were there charging) Saturday 5/22 Waterloo, IA Sunday 5/23 Hannibal, MO Monday 5/24 Brinkley, AR Sadly, the Kroger in Brinkley was...

Visited new Grapevine Supercharger today. It is the first V3 Supercharger in DFW area. Business is not yet open, although they were running some cars through the adjacent car wash.

Visited new Austin Supercharger at Century Oaks Terrace today. There are a lot of charging Options at this location, serves as a base for the local Tesla Gallery. They had at least two Stealth Performance Model Ys parked amidst their available inventory, one Red with some mileage, and a Black...

Since you are heading East (through Montana), maybe you could swing by Devil's Tower? Just West of Sturgis, SD. Historic National Monument designated by Teddy Roosevelt.

Ozark, Arkansas Supercharger location is open (re-opened), And ready for full operation. I-40 should be ready for East-West travel.

This may be a bit off-topic... I visited and spent the night in Dubuque on July 5. Across the (Main St.) street from the hotel, this mural had been painted on a large outdoor wall. Newspaper headline was about too much traffic at Local Starbuck's, and City was taking them to court.

Ditto that. Demolition and Construction I-35 has been a quagmire for at least last six or seven years. A segment gets done, then they move to next segment. Several overpasses and bridges had to be torn down, and temporary roadways have to be provided. Then the real building gets underway...

Just made it to new Superchargers @ Ozark, Arkansas. Car navigation did an interesting routing, Sulphur Springs, up to Ozark (243 miles). I had been planning to route Ardmore over to Catoosa (Tulsa) then to Ozark. Car is capable of the mileage, I left Sulphur Springs with 283 miles, nearly...

But, Collin St. Bakery will give you a free coffee (during business hours). Just need to show them your key. Same for the Lindell (East of Tyler) and Corsicana locations. Show some support for businesses that have supported Tesla Superchargers. They have actively supported Tesla since 2013.

Roads being impassable due to storm surges and 12" to 20" of rainfall sort of preclude even making it to these Superchargers, much less possibly continuing their journey. Operational or not, I suspect getting there will be the more daunting task. From reports of weather I have been watching, my...

Especially a Texas Summer During a Pandemic. Luckily, this Summer has been relatively mild, at least in Dallas. Only two days over 100 degrees, so far this Summer.

I have driven thru and used this Supercharger twice recently, once in May, and again in July. The Supercharger stall closest to the equipment storage area was damaged, might have not been operable. This location was in poor condition both times, there was also damage to the service station and...

Maybe the Waco routing was to route me away from bulk of (typical) traffic leaving Houston area via I-45. Large road signs were flashing: "Fill Your car with Gas" and "Large Storm in Gulf Be Prepared " There was a good size storm headed to Corpus Cristi, and Nature will be Nature. Never...

Charging at Katy, TX Hope it is a 'first day charge', showed up this morning. 12 stalls (definitely) Car's dash info indicated that 7 of 7 stalls were available. (?) Then 6 of 6 stalls available. Slightly out of synch with reality. Also, Katy Supercharger location already showed up on my...

Maybe try: Little Rock Lowell Catoosa (Tulsa), OK OKC There is a slight jog in your journey to Lowell, but it might be better (shorter distance) than Sulphur Springs routing. Be sure to bring coins and Dollar bills for toll roads in Oklahoma. Best of Luck!! BTW, I have been to Bentonville...

If you sat there for a bit destination charging while eating, might not be a problem. I socially distanced, checked in, brought my stuff to my room, and went to bed. I don't know if any dining facilities might be open or available... The Quality Inn did have a large room available for use for...

Thanks for the correction. I spent the night there, and got a destination charge good enough to get me to my next stop in the morning. Look for the Moose out front.

I took the tip from JSergeant, there is a Comfort Inn in Escanaba with two Tesla destination chargers. Out front, on the left corner of the building. If you are tired (and check in) or PATIENT Enough, you can go either way on the South face of the Peninsula - TODAY.

I visited and charged at Fargo a couple of days ago. On the way there, the screen had: "Supercharger Temporarily Closed Supercharger Fargo, ND Reduced Service" I arrived at Fargo, started charging, and a local owner came and also started charging his Model 3. We chatted, I finished my...

Just one today: Colby, KS At Parry, OK, Landlord is doing some repairs and renovations to their building from previous damage. Baby steps... Fence around the Supercharger equipment and one of the stalls is still a mess.

Finally made it to Estes Park today, it looked to be out of service as I passed through on May15. Drove over on 34, through Loveland and Big Thompson Canyon Road. Scenic drive, stopped a couple of time to take photos, which would never happen if I were driving at more standard speeds. First...

Stopped to admire and photograph some of the wildlife... and the scenery also picked up a couple more locations: Dickinson, ND Glendive, MT Miles City, MT Evansville, WY
