Somebody should call the architects, maybe they’ll talk, HA!

From what I’m hearing, there will be a supercharger there if Tesla follows through on their end. Construction of the Toot N Totem starts in Q4 . I’m sure we will see a separate TDLR approval for the superchargers when we get closer to construcation.

Of note, this building is significantly larger than the size originally specified in the alcohol permit. It’s now almost 11,000 feet which suggests a travel center and specifically includes a quick service restaurant.

Okay, now I gotta go check this out.

 

[Cigar Man]

Yea! It’s ready and I can go through Lubbock on the way from south Texas to Denver.

YEP! Saw that yesterday. Doesn't show as a Supercharger, but shows Service Center charging available when I planned my route to SanAntonio.

So…..is this Supercharger open for ANY Tesla to charge at?

Yes.

I’m charging here now. It’s not in the Nav though. And I’m skeptical that this will be open to the public long term.

Yes, it’s not on my Nav here in Amarillo. Other nearby stations showed up 1 - 2 days after commissioning.

There isn’t enough service business in Lubbock to justify keeping this restricted to service customers. I’d wager that it will be publicly available at least until we have a highway based supercharger built.

Did you get billed for charging?

It shows up in the Tesla App.

I suspect that if it remains as a "secret" supercharger, i.e. not being in the Nav and not having the Nav route people through it, that it would suffice as a 4-stall location for a while. But if they put it in the Nav, I think it could get overwhelmed on busy weekends. I know this is oil country, but it's a massive hole in the supercharger network, and road tripping is going to be HUGE this summer, especially among Tesla owners.

Sure does, thanks for pointing that out.

This is great news. My EV route finally mirrors my ICE route from ABQ to San Antonio!
