Haha, one in Clyde but they couldn't come the 10 miles over and put one in my home turf, Abilene? Don't get me wrong, I'm always for more superchargers... So my comment is more tounge-in-cheek

As a side note, Is it possible that it's an EA site? Nothing about it specifically says Tesla.

Looks like they might start building more superchargers on I-20 west of Tuscaloosa. I didn't hit a single V3 supercharger in October 2020 driving a length of I-20.

3 things that point towards Tesla. The RAS, the Tenant and the Design Firm. The RAS and Design firm doesn't fully confirm it but the tenant does. He's appeared in many other filings in other permitting sites for Tesla. @MarcoRP and @mociaf9 are way more knowledgeable on this btw, they may be able to provide better insight.

Here's what I do to play around with the search function:

Go to:

TDLR TABS - Project Search

www.tdlr.texas.gov

For RAS: 472
For Design Firm: "GPD Tesla Dewberry Paulicon Horn" (search uses the OR operator here)

You'll see a pattern, and you'll see Rivian and Volta use the same RAS and Design Firm.

The only one that comes to mind (at least post 2019) that didn't fit into that search was Denison.

Good to know. Thanks.

Thats a newish Valero station there. I drive by there from time to time. It doesn't even show on the Google Satellite images yet...

@corywright @MarcoRP

Even better. I'm seeing a completion date of September 2022.

Hopefully we'll eventually see one in Abilene for locals. Next just need one in Lubbock (coming soon) and San Angelo to fill some gaps in coverage.

What is with this 8 stall crap? When is TX going to get a Kettleman City or Firebaugh style charger?

 

[PeteC89]

I keep looking for one right on I-20 between Lindale & Cisco so as to not have a stop in the Dallas-Ft. Worth craziness. I have an early 2018 M3 LR so it has been doable by charging to 100% @ either end, but it's rather a long drive & I don't like to go below 20% unless it's necessary.

I agree with you and the things you mentioned were the same things I looked at and recognized in the listing. It'd be nice if Tesla showed Clyde, TX (or something close by) on their map with a coming soon pin, but they leave them off regularly enough to not make it a concern.

If I could just stick to I-20, I'd be so happy. Hoping the Buccee's in Terrell opens soon. I did notice some CCS chargers on I-20 when around DFW area.

Well, there is Ft. Worth, or you can nip up 360 to Arlington, then with a full tank continue West on 30 which will dump you back to 20 anyway the other side of Ft. Worth. The Arlington location is quite nice.

I live fairly close to Clyde, so I took a quick trip out earlier to see if there was any work being done yet.

I think this may be under construction. Lots of trenches dug up with conduit being laid and what looks like a concrete pad getting ready to be poured. I did not see any "Tesla" specific equipment though. Workers were actively working so I was trying not to be creepy and didn't get very close but looks like they were storing equipment in a U-Haul truck.

@Talmen Any way we could get updated pics?

I was planning on driving out tomorrow after work to look.

Thanks! Looking forward to seeing any progress.

Wow!! I went out earlier to check the site and was super surprised. They not only have made a lot of progress but there are a lot more stalls than I thought there would be!

There are going to be 20 v3 stalls. Not sure who to tag to update supercharge.info but I guess the Clyde, TX entry needs to be changed from 8 to 20 stalls on there.

The stalls are not active yet; I did try and plug in but absolutely nothing happened.

Once active, this will be a nice option heading west form DFW. Just as a reminder, this location is about 10 miles east of Abilene on I-20.
