[thedanl]

The Tesla supercharger map (online, not sure about in car interface) as well as plugshare are showing this site as open, can anyone verify?

Dot needs to be moved to 34.071707, -106.892957.
At the moment it's on California St.

As of Saturday afternoon! Super close. Obviously need the "green box", the transformer. According to the owner of the Best Western, should only be a week or two... We will see.

If you look at Google Streetview, I find it quite funny that the only cars in the lot are parked where they put the Supercharger.

FWIW Socorro Springs Restaurant and Brewery is not far. I remember good eats several times but it’s been over 15 years now since we’ve been to Socorro.

Can anyone here recall when Socorro was first listed on the Tesla website as a future Supercharger? TIA.

Archive.org doesn't load the Tesla map and I don't immediately see any other mentions on Google

At least since 2017: Tesla Supercharger network

I'm charging right now. All stalls work, however, the lot was just paved and is blocked off. You can still plug in, but you need to park in the street as seen in the photo. Some guys just pulled up and are marking the lines now.

Ha ha! That’s pretty cool!

Yeah, they still need to paint stripes and install those parking stops. I’m really surprised they turned it on already!

Has anyone tried this recently? What is the status? I am going to be this area in a week or two and could really use this stop.

According to PlugShare, it’s in use. Last person to post was on September 21.

It's in the Nav and functioning.

Charged here on April 6, 2024 and saw my first Cybertruck pull up right after I did. Something else I noticed is that the tire stops seen in the Aug 15, 2022 photo are now gone and you can see where they originally were. However, after looking at the 2022 photo again, it looks like the tire stops were closer to the concrete than the dark spots on my photo. Not sure what happened.

 

[AudreyHTX1]

That’s right. Most of the stations we visited these past two weeks have had their tire stops removed. Only two still had them.

Your photo looks correct to me in terms of the location of the tire stops.

In Montrose CO Tesla removed the bollards/signs between stalls when the station went to Magic Docks. It allowed non Tesla cars to nudge closer to help the short cables to reach. I would guess that is why curb stops are being removed from stations that are now open to non Tesla cars.

I've read that as well, and I guess Telsa isn't having too much of a problem with people backing into the chargers, though I saw a photo of one bent over at about a 45° angle in CA, forgot which station. This is interesting because Socorro isn't a MagicDock station. Well, at least the stall I used wasn't. Maybe Tesla has plans?

It's a NACS location, meaning non-Teslas with NACS or an adapter can charge.
