It is not in my cars either and we planned on stopping there.
What "other online routing services"? Google maps? Are you looking at it in advance and using the time option that takes into account traffic at that time of day?Any good reason why Tesla and other online routing services send me to the original Louisville Supercharger rather than this one when going north on I-65? Have not tried in the car yet. Hate driving 5 miles east on I-264 and 5 miles back. Always 30 MPH bumper to bumper traffic often complete stop.
“Have not tried in the car yet.” Why not? If you are using nav other than what is built into your Tesla, don’t be surprised that it routes you suboptimally. In-car navigation systems have a bad rap, such that many new Tesla owners refuse to try the built-in system. I always use it, even if going to a place I know directions by heart. Traffic will guide you (my heart cannot) and may start heating the battery, if it might prove useful (no other navigation system can do that yet.Any good reason why Tesla and other online routing services send me to the original Louisville Supercharger rather than this one when going north on I-65?

No Google for me.What "other online routing services"? Google maps? Are you looking at it in advance and using the time option that takes into account traffic at that time of day?
I would think that ABRP and Tesla take into account the version/charging_speed of each particular Supercharger (v2 150; v3 250).
I have only owned the car 8 years. I have learned not to blindly trust the fool navigation. Have often seen outrageously wrong routes. Perhaps the worst was when it insisted I take US-231 from the Bowling Green Supercharger through Gallatin TN to Nashville rather than I-65. There was no traffic or accidents on I-65 on the Tesla map or Waze. I-65 worked fine but the car nav kept trying to turn off.“Have not tried in the car yet.” Why not?
No Google for me.
EV Trip Planner is one that routes through the north Supercharger. I thought Tesla’s Find Me also provided a route but I can’t find that now. What I found just now did nothing but point to point via Google Maps.
supercharge.info was another.
A lot has changed in even the past year in the routing AND with the number of superchargers added in the past couple years. Meaning I don't think your 8 years of car ownership as far as navigation lessons is relevant anymore. Not trying to be mean just saying a LOT has changed in my several years of ownership and probably 80K of roadtripping.I have only owned the car 8 years.

I want to know a sane solution ahead of time to have something against which to judge what the car suggests.
The in-car routing does not allow multiple waypoints. You get the waypoints and Superchargers the car chooses. You can not force stops at intermediate Superchargers to explore optimizing stops. The only choice is to simply drive your route anyway and let it recalculate.
What I am finding is that I should stop at most every Supercharger to charge faster at lower SOC. Studying options to possibly bypass Bowling Green because it is so far off I-65. Splash and go at Elizabethtown, and maybe the same in Fishers IN. Sure would be nice to have something between Louisville and Indianapolis.
The in-car nav does now allow you the ability to add intermediate waypoints. That was a relatively new addition last in 2021 and I know at the time was only available if you have MCU2. Given @N4HHE says they've owned their car for 8 years, it's clearly was originally an MCU1 configuration, so if not upgraded to MCU2. That may be the difference in views on this capability.The in-car routing does not allow multiple waypoints. You get the waypoints and Superchargers the car chooses.
