I would be SOL with a massive detour, with my 200 miles of range. What caused the detour?
Came back from the coast with about 5% left...hit 129kw for a brief moment in my 2013 Model S!
The Level 2 chargers are 6.6kw...hosted by Target: free for the first two hours and $0.03 per minute there after.

The car and app give you that info already. Granted, malfunctioning stalls no, but enough data to let you know whether you’ll be waiting in line or not.
Yes. That can be a great feature. Tesla should be able to estimate how many people are waiting at a supercharger location and display on the screen.
Maybe have a check in feature for in-car navigation (charging, waiting to charge, etc).
True, true. When DEQ stations added cameras years ago, it took a lot of heartache out of the bi-annual process.

Can you say pent up demand?
Need to get those last four chargers online.
I drove to the coast last night and I am glad I charged as soon as I got here. Power went out last night to most of the Northern Coast (transmission line failure). Glad I charged as soon as I got here!!!
I may test the new SC tomorrow on my way home with a warm battery.
Interesting. The car nav says only 4 are available with no one charging. I did tri #5, 8, 9, 12 from the left of the picture and all were working. Yea, I left a chance that the #6 7 10 11 were the dead ones

Likewise for me today, both car nav and app were displaying anywhere from 1-4 available, but when I arrived only 2 cars were plugged in. I’ve seen several cars come and go, and as far as I can tell the number only updates when someone (un)plugs one of the chargers in bank 2; banks 1 and 3 seem to be perpetually “taken,” but still functional.

I am here now. All lights are on now. Four cars plugged in spread across the four supercharger cabinets. All appear to be working. The NAV says only three stalls available.
I wonder if their system thinks one pedestal is down and also a full supercharger cabinet. That math adds up.
Also, there is an S here with all the windows seriously fogged up. Seems like it has been here for a long time. Weird. I wonder if they are getting idle fees...
Edit: The concept (above) of it only counting cars in one of the banks makes more sense. They probably have two of the banks marked as down.

That's what happens when one of the cabinets isn't "communicating" with HQ. They just get marked as "occupied" whether they are or not. This happens all the time, especially at new superchargers. There are literally hundreds of posts about this topic scattered throughout this forum.
Eating my words as I had to use it for a bit today. Needed to go to Hood River and back this afternoon. With the heavy winds, consumption was in the high 300s/low 400s with butt warmers only. Round trip left me with 9% when I reached Tanasbourne to charge to get me to 30% or so (enough for rest of the night’s plans).
App and car still report 4/12 avail meaning it was empty when I showed up. A lone new Leaf was using the CP stall.
I did break an all time record for my P85D... initial ramp up went all the way to 122kW. Max I’d ever gotten, even before batterygate, was 117kW. Granted, 122kW literally lasted less than a minute, but still.
Quickly tapered down to 100kW, then settled in at 90kW until I unplugged ~15mins later.
