Supercharger- Houston, TX - Northwest Freeway

[MrTofuDragon]

290 Supercharger is LIVE...

Just in time for my family's road trip early Sept. Thanks for the update!

It’s still not showing up in the nav yet.
While I was looking for it I also noticed hat Channelview was displayed differently. Instead of bright red it was grayed out.

It’s not live on the map probably because not all stalls have power. I went today for lunch. Plugged my car in and the screen said “no power” or something like that. Moved it to another charging stall and it worked. They’re probably still working out some final kinks

Do you remember which stall worked? I’d like to stop there on my way back from Houston to Austin this evening.

It was stall 1A. The first one. The one I tried in the middle didn’t work. I’m not sure about the other ones but 1A works at about 86kw

I used station 1A tonight and it worked fine.

2A worked great Friday night, 96kW - 300+ mi/hr @ 20%SOC

4A was going good Sunday morning - 117kw & 462 mi/hr

We charged our S85 at noon Monday 20Aug18 without incident.
There was no other traffic at the chargers.
BBQ was pretty good.
Great location for Austin - Houston traffic.

The site is not on the Tesla Chargers map yet.

Stopped by tonight. There were two other cars charging. I have a feeling it’s gonna be a pretty popular spot. If you want to be entertained from your car just try to keep count of how many times the security guard circles Rudy’s in his golf cart going 30mph

 

[TexasEV]

What goes on at that Rudy’s that they need a security guard? Or should I say what would go on there if they didn’t have one? I’ve never seen a security guard at a Rudy’s in the Austin area.

Nothing really, It's not the best part of town but its not the worst. It's a pretty quiet area but I guess they keep one for precaution

FYI still not on the in-car map (3) or on the website.

Went at lunch time today (stall 3B) and the parking lot was 90% full and no slots were ice'd. The security guard in the golf cart did stop for a while in the end spot. That may help in preventing Ice'ing.

Went and had some BBQ and thanked the manager for 'hosting' the supercharger. The moist brisket is much better than the lean brisket.



The in-car Nav shows a Tesla supercharger on the map, but the supercharger is not yet listed in the charger list. Probably a matter of days.

Awesome!

I keep looking for this topic in the Texas Supercharger locations subforum, then remember it's in the Texas forum. Who can move it to where it belongs?

Is this location just insanely busy or is it offline? Been showing as 100% occupied when I’ve checked for the last few days and nights.

I've never seen more than one or two free stalls when I've driven past.
Thankfully the one at Rudy's on 290 is more convenient for my travels.

I happened to be on the app recently (Saturday night?) and it showed 0/0 available in the "nearby chargers" section, and has shown 0/8 available since then.

If the 290 Rudy's location is not what you consider the Houston NW Freeway spot, then which one are you referring to?
