You would think Tesla could put one of the many planned for Austin in Lubbock instead. With the factory in austin, there will be a lot of need but I would think they should be slow chargers at the factory where people can charge over their shift.

Probably because the population density in West Texas is much less then in East Texas along the I-35 corridor so it was not as high a priority. Lubbock is getting it though. Along with it being on the map with a more specific opening date of Q1 2022... there are several accounts of mobile tech's saying they have already been asked internally if any of them want to relocate and work out of the Lubbock Service center. There is enough evidence to say that Tesla does have plans moving now on a Lubbock presence. They just recently opened up a location to do Test and Demo drives there too. I asked my mobile tech last time I had one in Abilene about Lubbock and he said there was lots of internal chatter about the Lubbock location.
I think its coming and will be sooner then later now finally... Instead of some nebulous time in the future without any plans actually being made. The only other big gap I see missing after Lubbock is in the middle of Texas between Abilene, DFW and Austin. Having one in Brownwood and/or San Angelo would be good locations and facilitate routes through central Texas.
and *please* put one around Marfa... even if it's only a 4 stall mini urban charger whatever.... I would love to do Big Bend NP in my Tesla. Big Bend has to be one of the fewer NP with zero nearby Supercharging (defined as within 100 miles)
Amazing, isn't it? Tesla builds a factory in Texas, but you still can't buy a Tesla in Texas, and you cannot travel everywhere you want to go in Texas. I know Texas is big, but Tesla needs to give us more love!!
WE'VE GOT OUR LOCATION!!!! Just just just filed on TDLR
Woot! I literally just saw this too. Usually check over my lunch break. Looks like it will be the service center location based on Google Maps and what I see around there. Not sure if they will be putting the supercharger at that site as well or somewhere else...WE'VE GOT OUR LOCATION!!!! Just just just filed on TDLR

The project page indicates:WE'VE GOT OUR LOCATION!!!! Just just just filed on TDLR
Type of Work: Renovation/Alteration
Scope of Work:TENANT IMPROVEMENT TO INCLUDE NEW FINISHES, WALLS, FIXTURES, AND PAINT
Square Footage:18,720 ft 2
So this is probably for the service center (although could also be the supercharger if co-located).
I've never seen anything more beautiful in my life! Thanks for sharing!WE'VE GOT OUR LOCATION!!!! Just just just filed on TDLR
Well, it's a location for a service center. Given they have the space, they might want to put a Supercharger there, but it's in the SW of Lubbock, so not good for US-84/US-87/I-27 travel.WE'VE GOT OUR LOCATION!!!! Just just just filed on TDLR

Agree, it seems out of the way for a supercharger. Tesla has done better at picking locations lately, and this one doesn’t sound right.
It will be great for those of us in the Panhandle to have a service center in Lubbock. I’m sure I will be using it, and far far more convenient than Dallas or Ft Worth.
Hey, my name is Jordan and I'm in a huge bind. I poorly planned my long distance trip and, since we always pass through Lubbock on our way to New Mexico, I didn't make certain there was a supercharger in town. I know this post I found is years old, but any chance the offer is still good? I'm hitting the Overton Hotel first, to see if I can get enough juice to reach the next super, but I'm panicked if it doesn't pan out.
I'm now seeing permits being issued by the City of Lubbock for a Service Center, Alignment Building and Showroom/Gallery. Looks like it will be three separate buildings at 6626 82nd St.
Still nothing on the Supercharger. Hopefully we'll start seeing filings on that soon.
