Supercharger Live Status

[BerTX]

I think only those that are in range are fully red - others are more feint (at least that's what it looks like on mine)

I must admit I do miss the old Superchargers list on the nav screen...

Not sure what list you are pining for -- you can get a list by clicking the lightning bolt icon on the lower right corner of the map.

It's not the complete list as we used to have.

Most of you are also on a 8.0 firmware version, not 7.1. That's what I meant when I said an update is required [from 7.1 to 8.0].

It's all a trick to get you holdouts to update.

So are we assuming that this is the same data Tesla is using to calculate the Supercharger loading to trigger idle time charges? If so, those using the Junction, TX or Three Rivers, TX for charging should not plan to eat meals there. Those have showed that they are more than half full since this data was provided to us, and I'm sure there is nobody there. Overstaying by 5 minutes will always cost you at those locations (and there are certainly others I don't know about).

You might want to make a habit of checking what the loading being reported to Tesla is at the SC you are charging at, and compare that to reality.

I've always been able to finish a meal at a supercharger before my 60 gets to 100%.

@Ingineer has showed that the car pulls JSON encoded data from the mothership. My guess is that my car on 7.1 is downloading the same data, but the GUI does not have the function to pull this data and render it on the map.

That is why a firmware update is required.

Ah, you must not have kids!

That's what I figure. It's could actually be receiving the data but just not know how to process it.

 

[ecarfan]

I did that. It's not showing up in 7.1

I would not expect it to. You need the latest firmware version.

Not entirely true. I'm not on the "latest" firmware version (I'm one behind, can't update due to 12V battery dying), and I see supercharger statuses.

 

[Brass Guy]

Hmm, I may have to consider updating from 7.1. Well, I'll at least wait until I'm on a road trip.
I definitely see this as a valuable tool. Case in point, the image posted by @andrewket in post #8. If you're traveling along i95, you can make an informed alteration of your charge plan and avoid Woodbridge when you see it is pretty busy.

It's not the complete list as we used to have.

A Tesla sales guy and I sat in the showroom car for a while, when I was trying to convince myself to update. I found that if you zoom the map out before touching the lighting bolt icon, it will display a longer list but not sorted in any way. Very disappointing.

My list of Superchargers is sorted by distance from my current location.

You took my quote out of context. I did not expect it to work either. I was responding to this comment:

I didn't see it at first until I actually selected one of the closer Superchargers, then the status started showing for that one and all the nearest ones.

I also said above that a FW update was needed, which I clarified to mean 7.1-->8.0.

 

[ReddyLeaf]

And while you are doing that, I'm going to direct my car to the other one -- since you and all of your buddies are going to the 'apparently empty' one. ... Oh crap! who am I kidding? The really smart ones will do like I do ... and I'm going to be in line behind one of those geniuses. I think this is how Trump managed to get elected as president.

Superchargers at service centers are not shown on the "live" map. The Chicago 2-stall SC on Grand isn't visible, which is a shame because it's nearly always full.

I assume they don't want to encourage people to use them. They don't list them on the website either. Same situation with a couple in my area.

 

[oktane]

Would like a feature showing how many cars are en route to a particular SC and their ETA. Also would be nice to show when next car is scheduled to complete their requested charging. Hopefully these other features will be implemented with time, the occupancy status is a nice first step.

 

[ecarfan]

Are you aware that topic is being discussed in two other threads for days now?

 

[hingisfan]

Sweet!
