Supercharger - Sealy Texas

[corywright]

Tesla removed the Sealy "Coming Soon" from the Find Us a while back, and now they are planning instead to build Superchargers at two Buc-ee's on this stretch of I-10. Given this, and that it's been in "permit" for nearly 2 years, I've removed the blue dot for Sealy from supercharge.info.

What do you think about the Fort Worth - Clearfork location? That one has been in permit for even longer and there an urban SC 5 miles away, Alvarado is 22 miles away, and the Buc-ee's is 26 miles away in the other direction. TDLR also has that one as Project Closed.

Sealy back for round 2, this time ~18 miles east at Kathy's Korner 9027 SE I-10 Frontage Rd, Sealy, TX 77474.

That's a great pit stop with a convenience store and restaurant, but only for east bound traffic based on my last trip through that section of I-10.

From Google Maps, westbound travelers need to use a different entrance.

But why?

Katy has 2 Superchargers, 1 for each side of the road, with one being a large Buccee's install, less than 15 miles away.

Replacing or enhancing Columbus would be a much better investment imo

maybe their plan is to replace Columbus but filling in around it.

As someone who has done many drives between San Antonio and Houston, more charging spots are BADLY needed along I-10. Flatonia is so bad, I never stop there anymore. Columbus the max I’ve ever gotten is 56 kW. The Sealy and Luling spots will be a very welcome addition.

Whats wrong with Flatonia superchargers?

 

[gbrgbr]

I've stopped at the Flatonia SC dozens of times. It's a pretty good well above average SC. FWIW I've used over 300 locations.

 

[Munky.]

Flatonia is good. Not 250kW good, but good.

 

[dmat909]

Glad to hear the Flatonia SC has been working well for y'all. Must just be my luck lol. Every time I've stopped there I've had issues. Either no charge or like 11 kW max.

Seems opening

Is it a Magic Dock?

Is it a Magic Dock?

On Tesla website only comes up as a supercharger not one open to non Tesla.

Went from permitting to open without anyone noticing construction?

Went from permitting to open without anyone noticing construction?

Right? And on I10? The one that was permitted in the other side of Sealy I checked a few times on and it never even started construction.

 

[fetar30310]

Went from permitting to open without anyone noticing construction?

I find that pretty unlikely tbh.

Could anyone go by and physically verify?

I'd be surprised if Tesla themselves goofed on this, but the chances are slim that we'd go from Permit to Open with no one noticing.

It does really seem to be open. Tesla posted about the Sealy site on their Tesla Charging X account... with a picture even.
