    Supercharger - Alvarado, TX

    This was a find by someone on the Central Texas Tesla email list - EAB Data Detail for EABPRJB9805405 No details found anywhere else. Probably not enough data to declare permit or construction. Someone may want to go by if in the area and check it out.

    El Paso time of use electric rates

    Hello, Might be moving to El Paso this summer. Noticed there is a TOU option with the El Paso electric company. Looks like 26 cents per KWH during peak M-F and 0.5 cents per KWH during off peak times. Is that really true? Sounds too good to be true. Considering using this option since we have...

    Austin, TX Owners - Questions For You

    I am currently considering moving from California to Austin, TX for a job. I visited this weekend and looked at a few apartments...

    Supercharger - Webster, TX

    This is NOT currently a location for a grey pin on Tesla's map so could be some time in the works. However Rudy's BBQ appears onboard for this location as they are happy with results so far of co-locating SCs at their stores. Supercharger- Richmond, TX It would also be nice having a SC for the...

    Supercharger- Richmond, TX

    Trenching for a Tesla supercharger station is starting at the Rudy’s on US 59 (I-69) in Richmond. I wonder if this will take the place of the Sugarland location showing as “coming soon”.

    Supercharger - College Station, TX - Texas Avenue South

    Just a place holder. Looking forward to this one, but I’ve not seen any permits or activity. I don’t believe the “Coming in 2018”is going to hold true, but I hope I’m wrong!

    Supercharger - Fort Worth, TX

    This is old news, but a permit was applied for on March 22, 2018 at 2616 Whitmore St, Fort Worth, TX. The permit has not been issued. The location is a good sized parking lot. Given the proximity to West 7th area, my presumption is an urban Supercharger. Project Description: Tesla Proposing to...

    Anybody interested in a Reus audio upgrade in North Texas?

    I’ve asked a few times, but thought I’d check again to see if anyone else would be interested in upgrading their audio to a Reus system. As I understand it, he will fly out (for travel expenses) and perform all the upgrades on site, and the more people sign up, the cheaper the cost.

    I am starting to see signs going up for prelim elections. One can argue that, with the gerrymandering, they are the only elections that count. Now is the time to start contacting candidates and get their views on auto dealer protectionism or anti-teslaism. Should we start a list?
