Supercharger - Austin, TX - Frontage Road

[karki]

A new "Coming Soon" pin popped up on Tesla's Find Us map on the corner of William Cannon and I-35. I wonder if this is more "real" than our Downtown Austin supercharger. Hopefully its a full supercharger, not an urban one, and can take some of the stress off the north Austin charger

I wouldn't read into the pin's location. The "coming soon" pins have always been placed on a label on the map, not the intended location. In this case, there's not a label that can be distinguished so I'm not sure what's going on.

dang. what an inconvinient location.
pin shows right along I35

I met a person connected to Tesla (his wife works for them) at the Linc Super Charger late last summer. He mentioned that a new site was being planned south of the river (he wouldn't tell me exactly where), but that it would be closer to downtown than the Linc site (which is about 5 miles north of downtown). That would imply a south location that it's at least north of Ben White, I would think.

Depending on time of day, you might be waiting longer in traffic than to charge....

Rumor has it that Tesla has a non-binding agreement with Target to pursue a supercharger at the Southpark Meadows location.

Yup! Southpark Meadows at #1 on this listing in this Tesmanian article:

We'll be saturated in the Austin area for a while... in the meantime I would have to drive 3 hours out of my way to get to Santa Fe because there is nothing in Brownwood or Lubbock. Really wish Tesla would focus more on semi-rural areas right now.

I confirmed that the Setec CCS adapter does work at the HD dealership in Lubbock this weekend. 22kw...fastest DC charger in Lubbock! Lol. better than nothin.

 

[mbdionio]

This is good news! More superchargers along I-35.

HD? Home Depot?

HD? Home Depot?

Harley-Davidson would be my guess.

 

[Hydrocarbon302]

Yes, Home Depot.... If you buy charged and return dead drill batteries you basically have FUSC.

Lubbock's omission is glaring at this point... of all the major geographic voids within the lower 48 it stands out as the only one that has a significant population center (~260K) w/ a major university smack in the middle of it.

A building permit was just filed on Austin ABC

It’s under construction (ground still dug up) but looks like it will be a good number of stalls.

 

[XHabjab]

Perfect construction weather we're having here.

Anyone have any recent photos on this one? Can't wait to see Austin with extra super chargers!
