Is it on? It's showing in the navigation as available according to reports yesterday.
Man this is awesome I have a model 3 SR and my daughter lives in McAllen and I always need to stop at Kingsville which adds more time to a long trip from Austin. So much so that I bought a KIA Sportage Hybrid vehicle for that trip I need to go this week so I will test it out always a more comfortable ride in the Tesla thanks guys for all the updates.

Alice Supercharger is easy to get to - from 281, take the 281 Business route into downtown Alice then eastbound on Main St - Circle K is on south side and Superchargers on on east side of parking lot. Guaranteed No Waiting like on I-35!
Nice fast charging in Alice TX! From there we made it all the way to the San Antonio Leon Springs supercharger no problem.
This place was very much appreciated Saturday. I was northbound to San Antonio from McAllen on a day when a cold front brought high winds and low temps to South Texas.
The wind was a steady 30 mph out of the north, with gusts to 50 and temps in the low to mid 40s. I left McAllen at 100% SOC, but the wind was sucking up electrons like crazy. Normally, I pull into Three Rivers with 20% but by the time I passed Premont, the nav system was telling me I needed to drive 55mph to get to Three Rivers at 5%. Alice was a God send. We juiced up, but stopped at Three Rivers anyway as I had my daughter and 8 year old granddaughter with me. They needed some food!
This is SO much better than having to detour to Kingsville.

Yep, tough driving conditions! I’m sure the car thought you were driving 100mph.
Nasty weather everywhere. We’re freezing down here! Well not literally - but highs in the 40s and constant drizzle several days straight? Don’t even hear any road traffic - everyone is hiding indoors, lol. Sunshine not expected until Friday.

I'm glad they put a supercharger in Alice as it does make going to the valley a little easier in an SR but it does add about 30 minutes plus charge time to the trip since so far into the city wish they would of put it by the Whataburger right off the highway.

Yes, those are usually really nice and we tend to stop there anyway on long road trips.
