Supercharger - Plant City, FL

[N13MS]

Hello, we were recently traveling through the area and came across a future Supercharger, nearest to this location. It is located at a Wawa at 2705 Thonotosassa Rd, Plant City, FL. Appeared to be 8 stalls and probably within a couple weeks of opening. Can someone tag a mod to get this one added to the supercharger.info app? Thanks. (Sorry couldn’t get a pic while driving, but all the charging stalls were upright, so it shouldn’t be too much longer)

I just called this Wawa and the lady who answered confirmed that these are Tesla Superchargers but they are not yet operational.

That's great! That's a typical stop for us on our way out to Orlando. I'm usually not needing a charge at that point, but it may be helpful to top off there depending on circumstances.

I was just there this past weekend while driving to Orlando and saw them! Was looking for a post, figuring that it would already be listed on here since they are so far along.... Anyway, took a few pictures, they looked pretty close to being ready. But due to location and the area, ice'ing might be a problem there (hopefully I'm wrong).

As someone who lives in Plant City, I may have to go take a peak at this.

Current state of the charger.

This one is going to be interesting to see how it works out. It's far more convenient than the one in Lakeland, FL, as it is literally right next to the interstate, however, leaving the charger is a whole other story.

The Starbucks causes frequent traffic backups from people getting in line, then trying to leave. When you actually leave you need to cross two lanes of traffic to get into the 3rd lane to make a U-turn to get back to the interstate.

This is going to be the "preferred" way out in my opinion. The red path takes you to a traffic light controlled intersection where you can make a safe turn north.

Going to be interesting to see how this one pans out to be sure though

I agree with Nakatomi2010, having frequented this Wawa many time on my trips from Tampa back to Melbourne. Exiting the Wawa is very challenging so his route of the area is probably best.

I stopped by this past weekend and took a few more pictures. Doesn't look like much has changed since the previous week. Looks like it is waiting for the meter to be put in?

I live pretty close to this one. I've been checking in the app under "Location" see if/when it'll show up. The tesla.com/findus site has now added the charger there, they're citing Q1 2022, so I'm figuring by the end of the month it should be online. It's pretty damn close.

 

[Nakatomi2010]

I'm still checking the app daily, and I'm still not seeing it yet.

 

[Nakatomi2010]

Did a drive by while testing FSD Beta 10.10.2. Still not open yet.

 

[Nakatomi2010]

Still nothing in the app.

Just got back from spring break vacation. The charger is still not active yet.

Interesting. I just checked my navigation but it does not appear yet. Odd.

 

[Nakatomi2010]

I just looked in the app and I don't see it yet in "locations". I'll try to make a point to drive by in that direction later and see if it is up and running, but as far as I'm aware, it is still not up.

Yeah, I don't see it either, but from what I can gather following other threads, Tesla isn't the best at consistency. It may be whoever is in charge of releasing it to the in-car nav, hasn't done it yet. There are Superchargers that don't show up for a few days, but they are active.

I just went ti the charger and plugged in. It is live.

One ofnrhe 8 stalls cannot be used as they've left the wiring spools there, so it's 7/8 stalls, but the lights are on and pushing power.
