    Supercharger - Mathis, TX

    Would have preferred more than 8 stalls but every new V3 Supercharger along I-37/US 77 helps especially for Starship launches. During the last Starship launch, I was able to skip the very crowded Kingsville SC and make it to Three Rivers instead (still had to wait a little bit). But good to now...

    Supercharger - Temple, TX

    Maybe they are installing stalls with Magic Docks?

    Supercharger - San Antonio, TX - Broadway

    Can confirm that this site is finally operational! No magic dock though but there are trash cans on site which is a welcome surprise. It's right near a few bars and beer garden where a lot of their customers have to park along the street next to this supercharger so hopeful there's no ICEing...

    Supercharger - San Antonio, TX - Broadway

    I already plan on being in downtown San Antonio tonight so I will confirm if they are indeed operational now.

    It looks like there's now a transformer on the pad. Progress....

    Supercharger - San Antonio, TX - Broadway

    I also believe this is exactly what is going on since there is an on-going Transformer shortage.

    No $200 fee in registration renewal bill due in Nov

    Those mail statements are autogenerated a few months ago before the new fee took effect hence why there is a lag behind what you see when you renew online. You can just pay what you received in the mail but don't be surprised if you receive another letter from the state in the future billing for...

    Supercharger - Luling, TX

    I have stopped by there plenty of times to "deep charge" including when its been full. So what you describe is normal for any other V2 location. Yes, V3 along with more stalls would be better, but Flatonia as it currently operates is not that bad all things considered. Trust me, there are much...

    Supercharger - Luling, TX

    Don't understand what's so bad about Flatonia. It has always been just fine every time I have gone there especially considering it's V2.

    Supercharger - San Antonio, TX - Broadway

    As of September 23. Parking lines are painted and there's now conduit and a container on site.

    New Tesla service center replaces BMW Dealer facility

    Yes, Tesla already did the same thing by replacing a former BMW facility with a Tesla showroom/service center in San Antonio at the beginning of this year. So I expect a lot more takeovers to come.

    Supercharger - San Antonio, TX - Broadway

    Some pics I took as of September 4. Lot is now paved but nothing else.

    Supercharger - Post, TX

    Now just need a few more like Roswell and Carlsbad and then this area should all be covered.

    Supercharger - Round Rock, TX - University Blvd

    Fortunately diverging diamond interchanges are becoming more and more common now plus they aren't that confusing if you just follow the signs and road markings. The intersection right next to the Buc-cees at the New Braunfuels supercharger features a split displaced left turn which has greatly...

    Supercharger - Fort Worth, TX - Eastchase Pkwy

    Looks like this is the first site in Texas to utilize the Magic Dock? Tesla restarts deploying Magic Dock adapters at Superchargers in the US
  16. E

    Supercharger - San Angelo, TX

    Damn, didn't know this was already in the works otherwise I would have voted for another site in Texas to get Superchargers in Tesla's SC quarterly voting site.

    Supercharger - Houston, TX - Washington Avenue

    The Post can get really crowded during the weekend so hopefully they place these in a spot that won't get ICED.
  18. E

    Supercharger - Houston, TX - Queensbury Lane (CITYCENTRE)

    Most likely going to be placed within the parking garages at CityCentre.

    Supercharger - Van Horn, TX - Broadway Street

    Depending on where in Houston you're coming from, but it can easily be over 80 miles before reaching Katy. And that's assuming people leave Houston for a high SOC. I've personally stopped at Katy many times on my way to SA since I was at a low SOC. But in the end even though you don't like it...

    Supercharger - Van Horn, TX - Broadway Street

    Don't get what you do not understand about this situation because this makes perfect sense. Van Horn is used for all passing traffic that comes from both San Antonio and Dallas since it is the first location that occurs after I-10 and I-20 merge. So it will get very congested right in Van Horn...

    Supercharger - Georgetown, TX

    And two stalls are already down?

    Tesla Partnership with Buc-ee's (26 New Locations)

    So the permit for the Buc-ees in Texas City has been removed? Does that mean a SC is no longer happening there? With the recent issues at the Webster SC it is becoming important to have another Supercharger site within SE Houston.

    Supercharger - San Antonio, TX - Broadway

    South side? This is a little north of downtown. South side would be King William and below.
  24. E

    Supercharger - San Antonio, TX - Broadway

    This is basically downtown. It's literally less than 10 blocks away from the Alamo and the Riverwalk. How much closer would you want it?
  25. E

    Supercharger - San Antonio, TX - Broadway

    This is great to finally have a Supercharger this close to downtown SA that should primarily cater to all of tourists and visitors who mainly come to San Antonio just for the downtown activities like the Riverwalk and the Alamo.

    Supercharger - San Antonio, TX - East Basse Road

    I mean if you meant any DC fast chargers, then you're even more off on your numbers since San Antonio has 11 DC Fast chargers (8 CCS and 3 Tesla) and College Station has 3 DC Fast Chargers (2 CCS and 1 Tesla). So I have no idea what you're getting at to try to imply that it is so bad in San...

    Supercharger - San Antonio, TX - East Basse Road

    San Antonio has 3 Superchargers, while College Station has 1 Supercharger. Have no idea why you think San Antonio has zero? Additionally, getting Superchargers closer towards downtown is an "issue" with all cities, not just San Antonio. If you're just looking at "inside the loops", then San...

    Supercharger - San Antonio, TX - East Basse Road

    San Antonio is 60% of Houston? No, try more like 30% considering the metro areas (which obviously include Superchargers also) for Houston is 7.1 million while metro San Antonio is 2.5 million. And with greater Houston having 18 Superchargers and greater San Antonio having 5 (or 6) Superchargers...

    Supercharger - College Station, TX - Texas Avenue South

    Tesla has been putting 250 KW superchargers at all new installations for a while now. Had this supercharger in College Station been built a few years ago, then it would have been installed as a 150 KW site with shared stalls. So the long delays at this site ended up working out better in the...

    Supercharger - Temple, TX

    Hearing that these are finally online now. Picture stolen from facebook.

    281 Corridor - Lampasas / Burnet

    Don't know how many you think "a lot" of people is that would be able to skip I-35 by going up 281 instead. For anybody going between Dallas/Fort Worth and Austin/San Antonio (which is the vast majority of people), detouring to 281 is just too much out of the way. And even for me if I have to...

    Supercharger - Lubbock (SC), TX

    I've been in the same conversations before and in additional to this example, I also add that EVs support ALL energy industries since EVs are agnostic to where it receives its power from. EVs give you the option to CHOOSE your energy source so you can be a lot more energy independent than...

    Supercharger - Kingsville, TX - E Corral Ave

    Yep. Unless you constantly travel through any particular area at different parts of the day to truly get an accurate view on how congested a SC location is, I would trust the supercharger site location decisions Tesla makes since they ultimately have the best data to work with.

    Will you go to the Telsa store tomorrow after the price drop

    So do you also think that during these past two years when Tesla jacked up the prices you should also have talked to the manager to give more money to them to make up the difference for your now cheaper Tesla? Do you seriously feel the same way about any other product or asset that you own that...

    New Model Y LR cost is 53000$ today onwards (excluding Tax rebate of 7500$).I bought my model Y in December for 65000$

    So what did you say when Tesla was increasing the prices the past 2 years? Tesla is still a business at the end of the day that is subject to the market. These current prices have now essentially placed them back to what they were 2 years ago before the prices dramatically increased. And any...

    Supercharger - McKinney, TX

    Luckily the maps within Tesla Navigation and within the Tesla app is up-to-date most of the time which is what really matters when trying to plan for a trip. The website seems like it is run by the IT/admin/marketing department who wait a long time to get their latest information from the...

    Supercharger - San Antonio, TX - East Basse Road

    Great! This will definitely help relieve the congestion at the Huebner Oaks SC since the majority of people that go there usually come from downtown.
  38. E

    Supercharger - Round Rock, TX

    It's better to just go straight through that intersection and turn right into McDonalds. No left turn needed.

    So few s-chargers in San Antonio!!

    Where are you getting that percentage from? Regardless, the percentage doesn't really matter since the population size (especially greater metro area) between Houston and San Antonio is much greater. 1% EV adoption in Houston might equate to 10,000 EVs while 1% EV adoption in San Antonio might...

    Has your car shut down before it hits zero?

    So yesterday, my 2018 Tesla Model 3 performance with 105,000 miles on it just shutdown when it was at 3% while I was driving. But I actually had my original HV battery replaced under warranty at around the 50,000 mile mark so I only have around 50,000 miles on this current HV battery pack. I did...

    Tesla Partnership with Buc-ee's (26 New Locations)

    It was their first location, however since it was their first location it is a relatively small location. Therefore they plan on expanding that location to be their next largest Bucc-ees ever which is when I would assume they will be installing the Tesla superchargers.

    Tesla Theater blank screen

    This happened to me a couple weeks ago and couldn't figure out how to bring it back after a couple of resets. But the Monty Python trick worked for me! Glad I found this thread.

    Supercharger - Van Horn, TX - Broadway Street

    There's simply not enough people (less than half a million annually) that go to Big Bend to make it worthwhile for Tesla to build a supercharger just for it, at least for now. Tesla did build a supercharger just for the Grand Canyon because that gets much more traffic.
  44. E

    Supercharger - Van Horn, TX - Broadway Street

    Maybe this is the start of Tesla installing stations/stalls that other non-Teslas can use?

    Supercharger - Corpus Christi, TX

    Great that these on finally online. Hopefully 8 stalls will be enough especially during holiday weekends when a lot of people from outsides areas like San Antonio, Austin, and the Valley want to take a trip to the beach. Because 8 would definitely not be enough if these were V2. Looking forward...
  46. E

    Supercharger - Katy, TX - Katy Freeway

    This will be a better option than having to rely on the V2 superchargers at the nearby HEB.

    Supercharger - Flatonia, TX

    I remember when this supercharger was first announced people questioned what was the point of it since Columbus was so "close" by. But it's now my go to spot to charge. I haven't caught it though during a very busy time but another supercharger at the Luling Buc-ees would be ideal.

    Supercharger - Corpus Christi, TX

    On my latest trip to Mustang Island, I charged to 98% at Three Rivers, arrived at the beach around 51%, left the beach at around 46%, and made it back to Three Rivers at 6%. I would have charged a little bit at La Palmera Mall just in case though.

    Supercharger - Coalinga, CA (LIVE 15 Dec 2022, 80 stalls)

    If full level 5 autonomy becomes a thing, then ideally a family could travel during off-peak hours while they sleep towards their next destination. People already travel during off-peak hours including myself to maximize our vacation time by taking red-eye flights, overnight trains with full...

    Horseshoe Bay Destination Charger

    My buddy has a couple of properties right next to Horseshoe Bay resort and is looking to convert them into AirBnBs. Currently working with him to have level 2 EV charging capability on all of this properties.
