Since this one isn't on the Find Us map, I'd ask that you follow up with the permit authority for some more details, not that I don't believe it's a Supercharger. I'll go ahead and add it for the time being.

I saw no construction at that address today (as expected), but it Would be a good site if it bears out. Ample free parking, low traffic in the parking lot (a lot of doctor offices), ICEing should not be a problem, easy highway access, and a lot of Tesla owners in the area. I hope it’s for real!

.. but not really on the path to any long distance travel.

I think the supercharger nearby (Shops at Legacy) is overloaded. This one should help with alleviating the wait times. I agree it is not on the long distance travel path. I think this is targeted towards local tesla owners who doesn't necessarily have a home charger.

 

[Electroman]

I really doubt you are going to see many here owning a Tesla and not having a two or three car garage.

I wish this was in 121 (or GWB) just off the highway. The proposed one in Allen outlets is okay, but not terribly convenient.

Another location that would benefit is I30 stretch North-East of Dallas.

Doesn't mention Tesla or Superchargers

That checks out. It just doesn't make a whole lot of sense for Tesla to put a Supercharger station there, at least at this time.

My experience that the entire DFW area is very underbuilt as relates to Superchargers for such a large population. So any addition would be welcome to take the load off. The nearby Shops at Legacy Supercharger is only 72W, is on the top level of a parking garage and was nearly full even last year. So a bigger location in Plano/Far North Dallas is certainly going to get well used.

 

[Electroman]

Agreed. There is one needed right off of 121, in addition to the one being built in Allen which caters to both 121 and 75 traffic and is a mile off both the highways. Ft. Worth needs more love.

Then why not just expand/upgrade that one? There's certainly room for it instead of putting a whole new one just 5 minutes away with less restaurants/hotels/living units within walking distance and also further away from 121.

I could not agree more the the entire DFW area is very underbuilt, but Tesla should focus first on areas that are much further away from an existing station than 5 minutes. For starters, they need to put some east of 75.

That Legacy station is very inaccessible from 121 and is on top of a multistory garage. I am guessing there are some challenges in getting power for a 250 Kw SC station at that place.

Coming soon: Allen, Melissa, Royse City and Terrell.

Then they need to put one on 121, not another one off the Dallas Tollway in Plano.

That helps for sure, but those locations are outside of DFW.

 

[Electroman]

Allen and Plano chargers are in DFW metroplex.

The upcoming Springcreek/121 is an excellent location. Right off 121 and I believe some eateries around.

Looks like Marco has done it again and sleuthed another Supercharger in Plano at the Valero on 7040 Spring Creek Pkwy, Plano, TX 75024. 7040 Spring Creek Pkwy, Plano, TX 75024 Image from permit site that refers to Tesla. @corywright @Big Earl @Chuq

Agreed. And so close to Toyota's North American HQ, it feels almost like trolling

Looks like they are planning to put 10 stalls in according to the site plan.
