I completely agree with regard to the map on the Tesla website, I was referring to the maps in the car or on the app, where this station is not listed yet. Just a long way to go if you find out this message board and supercharge.info didn't get the latest update one morning and the Thanksgiving...

The problem with V2 chargers at Flatonia was that when you pull up and 4 people are charging you never know which of the remaining 4 to choose. Choose correctly and you are pulling down over 100 kWh as the person next to you is almost done, choose incorrectly and you get the remaining 35 kWh not...

I've got a post from nearly a year ago on here as well - the third one on this board - about how badly needed this is, and how Flatonia is over run. I don't blame Flatonia for being the problem here, as it's 6.5 years old (prior to even Model 3's being on the road), and was at the time a...

Couldn't agree more. We do need more redundancy along I-10 as the largest gaps in that network from Los Angeles to Jacksonville are: *El Paso, TX to Van Horn, TX - with it's new now 20 stalls (130 miles) *Van Horn, TX to Fort Stockton, TX (121 miles) *Ehrenberg CA to Buckeye, AZ (116 miles) *San...

The word 'planned' is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that last sentence. They have had a supercharger coming dot of one kind or another in central San Antonio since at least 2018. I didn't have a Tesla before then, so I can't speak to how much sooner it may have been, but 5 years and counting...

Can't say I understand this, but congratulations to those of you passing through. Van Horn, TX: 20 stalls Houston, TX inside the loop: 8 stalls San Antonio, TX inside the loop: 0 stalls

Between this one, Luling, San Antonio - Broadway, and San Antonio - E Basse Rd; I wish someone would offer odds on these being open before or after January 1, 2024. I'd be hammering the after, and sadly cashing in, in about 7 months. I guess the question is, all 4 of the above open first, or a...

This area is also very unlikely to be ICE'd, as it behind the shopping center. For those who are charging, there is a nice walk through sidewalk to get to the food, restrooms, and grocery stores in the front of the shopping plaza. With the amenities and quick access to 2 highways (99 and I-45)...

I've got to applaud Tesla. With the opening of 16 charging stalls in Big Spring, TX; there are now 24 stalls to charge at on the 170 mile trip from Odessa to Abilene - combined metro population: 510,610. Assuming the 8 stalls in Midland aren't useful for east bound travel. Meanwhile, there are a...

To say this can't come soon enough, would have been true 2 years ago. Now it's well past time. Some general numbers of chargers outside metropolitan areas in Texas between major cities (travel from city to city): San Antonio to Austin: 80 miles, 52 charging stalls. 1 stall every 1.5 miles on...

Construction is right where the GPS coordinates are above. This is going to be a great spot, with 16 chargers, walking access to lots of choices for food, and quick access to both 45 and 99.

While I appreciate the enthusiasm on this I must say, horse, meet cart. At this point and after all of the start and stops this has had, anywhere in College Station would be an overdue welcome. Heck, Navasota would be an improvement over the nothing that’s been done.

This "central San Antonio" dot has moved a few times since 2018, but as you said, always where Google puts it when you type the words in. It was previously at "San Antonio" then "Pearl District" and now "Alamo Heights". None of these have been real, nor has anything on the east side of town...

If you want some examples of accuracy: *Beaumont, TX - was on the Tesla website as 'coming soon' in 2019, then left the map entirely in 2020, and has now come back on the 'coming soon' for 2022. This was never included on supercharge.info, and is now listed as permit applied for, which is where...

Was here twice this (non-holiday) weekend. Both times at some point someone pulled in and had to wait for a charger. This desperately needs to be expanded, much like Waco was or this Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas season are going to be a mess along this stretch. I know the Luling...

Katy works wonderfully for going from San Antonio to Houston, especially as it's outside of 99, so you can go in to the city or around without a detour to the charger. As for going from Houston to San Antonio, that Katy supercharger is just about useless as it's just a few miles in to your...

Honestly, any of the small towns along that stretch with a gas station along the highway would be a good spot. From what I've read, most gas station owners make their money from sales inside the store, not on the gas itself, so anyone in Marion, Seguin, Kingsbury, Luling, Harwood or Waelder with...

I really hope Tesla reevaluates this stretch soon. From the outer loop of Austin (130) to the outer loop of San Antonio (1604) there are now 60 chargers at 4 stations across the 50 mile gap. Meanwhile, from the outer loop of Houston (99) to the outer loop of San Antonio there are 26 chargers at...

Thank goodness for this, as I don't know what greater Austin would have done without it's 14th supercharger location. I can't imagine the hardship people faced before this one to make a 2.4 mile diversion to the closest location. People in Beaumont, Corpus Christi, College Station, Lubbock, or...

Can't wait for the new cars coming from the Austin Gigafactory that can fill up on paperwork, rather than actual chargers. I assume this is correct as this is the only installation Tesla is doing these days in the state, so it would make sense that with non-Tesla's being able to charge soon in...

Could someone who has been to this please post specific directions on how to get there? I know there are at least 5 garages (yellow, blue, red, brown, or orange) not to mention parking across the street at Dillard's. *Which road do you come in off of? - Westheimer, Post Oak, Sage, McCue...

@Chuq @BlueShift based on the photos above, this may be ready for a cone on the supercharge map?

And we have our answer for how long would it take for this supercharger to get over run and be full like Austin. The answer... 15 minuets. Those of you who took the over will take the loss, and those who took the under can collect your winnings at the window. Also, thanks to those of you on the...

I do not mean to insult you personally, as that’s not the point at all of this message board, but I honestly have no idea what this sentence means. I think we generally disagree about the speed of Tesla’s roll out of superchargers in Texas and its surrounding states, which I don’t feel like...

So to recap: Tesla has different rates for Supercharging depending on location and what’s allowed in each state/city. - those of us on free supercharging for life aren’t as up to date on every small detail of this. Texas, and all of its surrounding states (LA,AR,OK,NM), now looks exactly like...

nediver, I had an argument further up this same board with SammichLover about Tesla's lack of build out in Texas, and all I'll tell you is there is no winning. He's always right... Yes, Tesla does need to do something about the disparity between per kWh and per minute charging especially if it...

I honestly no longer care about this supercharger. I don't understand why they couldn't put this at the service center, much the same way they did at the North Houston location if they are so outmaneuvered. If Tesla doesn't care enough to put a supercharger in the largest city in not just the...

sorry, I erased the post because i found EV's registrations by state and will use that instead of raw population which will give us a much more reflective data set.

Unless there is proof that the car dealerships are lobbying the 'Tree' department of the permit office, I'm more convinced than ever that this is the fault of Tesla. The most recent permit here: <Reviews> shows explicitly what needs to be done here <ReviewDetail> and all other parts of the...

Yep, you win. Sorry those of us on this message board were speaking about the lack of progress on a San Antonio supercharger and how that was frustrating to us. I guess we'll go back now to being happy about Austin having 8 stalls, with more coming, and the wonderful scenic drives around San...

First, 'soon to open' in this thread, or along I-10 in Texas in general (see Ft. Stockton) has been a perpetual state of permits and survey flags. So sorry if I don't get too excited for about to open, in the future, sometime. As for the time frame, sorry I arbitrarily picked things like...

I'm sorry, I guess I missed some. Could you please point out to me where the in the entire state, we've had new superchargers open in 2019? Ft. Worth closed, and still hasn't come back online, so where is the continued roll-out you speak of? Last I checked, and I must admit I haven't driven all...

electricglider, you’ve both missed and proven my point. You used the following phrases to try to claim these work: “Obviously you’ll need the long range Tesla models” “Just fine going the opposite way” “Staying at a destination charger or AirBnB with 240V outlet would be required” That’s the...

<Tesla’s service in Texas is now safe after pressure from owners against weird new bill> ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^This^^^^^^^^^^^^^^This right here^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This is what I meant for my, the owners come through and help out the company, but the company then adds 0 new superchargers to...

One quarter down and Texas (not a big state population wise or anything...) now has fewer supercharger stations than it started the year with, thanks to the closure in Ft. Worth. Live in a Austin, Dallas, San Antonio or Houston and want to go pick your kids up from college in Lubbock or College...

I know right. It's almost like people who are going to actively use this thing have an opinion. What goof balls... :rolleyes: San Marcos adds a half a hour, not just 8 miles. And not all owners are going down to Laredo, please see the previous post about cars with Mexico plates coming up to...

Kart meet horse in this city. As for the location, and sorry in advance to anyone who finds those of us who frequent the city for giving an opinion about the location (see above), but this is less than ideal. At this point, anything within 20 miles of the city center is better than nothing though.

We just really want a supercharger (or maybe even 2) in San Antonio. The who deserves it more will always be an opinion, but I think most of us here think the city has a strong case for why it should be a higher priority than it seems to be with Tesla.

2 months down, 10 to go... But good news, California had 5 new supercharger stations open because heaven forbid you have to drive 10 miles or wait in a line to use a supercharger around San Diego (cough, Austin, cough) without running in to a new one. And before PlusEV tells me I'm only...

1 month down, 11 to go. Though in everyone's defense, maybe I-10 and I-35 aren't 'major' highways anyways.

Sorry. I meant the TX/LA largest needs. This was commententing on the AndrewTX post above it when he mentioned the manager in charge of Texas and Louisiana. For the overall needs, I’m sure there are cities that have needs, but I still feel San Antonio is the largest single need in the country...

AndrewTX, thanks for the update. Yeah, i'd say San Antonio, New Orleans, and then probably College Station are the three largest issues for Tesla in 2019 and moving forward, but as we all know, there are 'many similar situations' around the country, so we can't hope for much. The permit is only...

BerTX, I've got to ask, how did I change the criteria? He simply made a statement, I think asked him to clarify and defined what I thought 'similar' would look like. If he had a different idea of similar, he could have given that idea as well. The fact that he said, 'many similar situations'...

SpireWare: I think we are on the same page of an hour+ detour if you are coming from Houston, and this not being a great alternative if you’ve got an other means of charging (friends/Tesla destination/3rd party chargers). Hope any trips you made over to San Antonio during the break were...

I'll do this one last time, and after this I'm done arguing here. SpiceWear: The whole point was, and I mentioned, coming in from the east on I-10 (Houston) - assuming you top off in Flatonia - then drive from there to Lackland area, then try to drive back to Houston with the 'detour' through...

Exactly. The detour is much shorter if you aren't in the city, and instead coming from the northern suburbs. The Model X, which they still sell today, has a rated range of 237 miles in the base model. As for earlier models, the Model S 60 kWh has a rated range of 210 miles. If you're driving...

You clipped the previous line there: and the amount of people who live and drive in this area, I'd consider this the largest hole in the supercharger network in the country. I'm not saying it's the largest hole, I-94 across North Dakota and Highway 1 across central Canada have those spots on...

BerTX, i'm going to have to disagree here that those are remotely the same situation. Philly has a charger to the northeast (Burlington - coming from New York), that's 41 miles away and one to the southwest (Claymont - coming from DC) which is 25 miles away. So anyone coming in to / out of...

The best bet for location at this point is probably the Rudy's in Selma. It is less than 2 miles off of 1604, which is probably going to be used by people traveling I-10, and it's directly off of I-35, so it's good for that as well. It's a bit outside of the city proper, but it's as close as you...
