We are thrilled. It showed up on my Nav screen this morning as a nearby supercharger.
I have been busy thanking all the locals in Clayton who have been sending me the photos for their help. Clayton will get a lot of traffic stopping there now.
I always try to buy something from one of the local retailers/markets or shops when supercharging. I don’t want to just use their bathrooms and fill up their trash cans, I want more support from local businesses for charger installations.
If you can please support the local businesses in Clayton while you are charging, especially the Ranch Market.

That’s my philosophy as well. We’ll be sure to patronize the businesses going in both directions (to/from Colorado and Texas).

Totally agree. Every time we stop at a Supercharger and use their facilities we always purchase food, snacks, sometimes even baby clothes!
Extremely happy Clayton is now open. But there is still more needed. Lubbock, Clovis, Ruidoso to name a few.

Legit just drove from Denver to Dallas through there. Range anxiety between Trinidad and Amarillo. 92 to 2% on a 3 LR. Can now save a hour not going OKC and Kansas the way back.
Following up on this since I'm at the supercharger, not all stalls appear to be functional yet, location says 4 of 8 were available but there are 8 stalls. So for the time being, if you see 4 available none are being used. My guess would be to stick to the 4 nearest to the boxes.
It's pretty common for one of the cabinets to not work in the early days of a v3 supercharger. Each cabinet serves 4 stalls. Let's hope the other one doesn't fail!

I'd like to see coverage on both sides of the US-Canada border. Many times of the year, it can take more than an hour to get to the other side. Inconvenient in the summer, deadly in the winter.
Sault St. Marie Michigan/Ontario set the example. It's a good idea.

Well TMC, we did it. Time to stop watching this thread. See you all sometime in Clayton!
Just charged here this morning! Only the 4 stalls closer to the transformers are active so far, but that’s more than good enough from the 90 minutes I spent at an Rv park last week!

I know it’s a different topic, but just noticed in supercharge.info that a permit was issued for College Station! Some progress, slowly but surely!

If you charge at Clayton, post some photos! Would love to see them.
Some good photos at the temporary Plugshare listing for this site: PlugShare - Find Electric Vehicle Charging Locations Near You

Thanks for the link. It wasn’t showing on my PlugShare app but your link opened it! The PlugShare app filters are flaky. I have the Coming Soon filter turned on and it still doesn’t show it.

I’m glad you said that about the PlugShare filters. Those things are making me crazy! I can’t seem to find logic to getting them set to my liking. Some buttons seem to turn things on others seem to filter things out.
ok done venting now.........
I think the problem here wasn't plugshare filters per se - rather, the initial plugshare pin here was a temporary listing (as a "wall" plug) as a kludge because plugshare only allows superchargers to be listed from the official Tesla feed. That feed has now been updated to include Clayton, so the the listing has now become an official "supercharger" entry here: PlugShare - Find Electric Vehicle Charging Locations Near You
This news is just the best. I've been waiting for this for many years! We'll be driving through there on Sunday from Denver to Austin. Looking forsard to checking it out.
I think it's more likely they'll just continue to build new v3 stations. Gaps won't truly be filled until we have stations every <50 miles and charging is just not something anyone has to think about. Would be a waste to remove perfectly good v2 stations before we hit true saturation.
