SuperCharger Outages

[RaeW]

Tesla needs to be more proactive about outages. What happens when an SC is down, but appears normally in navigation app? People may rely on such information when low on power reserve only to get to the site and find it not working. Such is apparently the case with Wareham, MA. Twelve chargers & not one working on February 28, 29 & March 1. Come on Tesla, you can do better. The technology exists to warn owners.

If a supercharger location has a power outage, is that apparent in-car and in A Better Route Planner?

Friends in Florida are still waiting for power after hurricane Ian. They don't want to drive to an unpowered supercharger.

In car, I can pan the map to Fort Myers, FL and see "n chargers available." What does it say if they're "available" but unpowered?

ABRP doesn't want to browse superchargers, just plan routes, and it's persnickety. Getting a route from Cape Coral to a Fort Myers supercharger shows 5 red "in use" pie segments and 9 green "available" segments (segments equal chargers?) which is a good sign.

What does ABRP show for chargers and locations that are unpowered?

Are there other areas they could drive to maybe 15 to 20 miles away Have they tried calling FPL

 

[Transformer]

Have they tried calling FPL

Good idea. FPL should know whether the area has power.
