Supercharger - Southlake, Texas

[ender3]

Just went by at lunch. Worked like a charm. Actually my very first time supercharging. No one else there at the time.

Visited at lunch time. Two other Tesla’s on hand.

Excuse the poor photo quality. Want to show 9 of the 10 Southlake Superchargers light up at night. 5A does not. I did plug my S in and received power. But at a reduce rate compared to 1A. Our Southlake Supercharger Mayor Bollar do you know who to call for repair?

It was that way when commissioning was completed, so I presume they already know. I also plugged in and saw it had juice, but my battery was fairly full, so didn't notice reduced capability.

I was wondering about the lights being out on a new station -- maybe this is a subtle way to get us to choose any stall other than this one.

This picture was taken a couple of minutes after it opened You can see it was out then. I cropped it out of the other pictures I took.

And just like that, hopes for a "Coming Soon in 2018" Grapevine, TX Supercharger are dashed...

As expected. Surprised they didn’t change it sooner, once word was out.

First time visiting Southlake SC today. 7-9 people there for the entire hour I was there.

You mean they just plugged in and went shopping for an hour..?

You mean they just plugged in and went shopping for an hour..?

a) isn't that what they are supposed to do?

and

b) how would the OP know what everyone was doing?

 

[Kcharwood]

Ya I didn’t take a poll on activities chosen. Just commenting was nearly full the entire time I was there.

Pedestal “5B” is broken. Going on 3 weeks.
May 11, plugged In and normal steps start. 30 seconds later charging stopped.

I called it in to Tesla 3 weeks ago. Hopefully repaired faster than Ft Worth SC.

Yeah, the Supercharger network is the red-headed step-child of Tesla business units. Many (used to be most) are way out in the country. People rarely interact with one more than twice in a week. Tesla hasn't kept pace building the superchargers in corresponding numbers with the number of cars sold. And it is acceptable, to Tesla, to have one not working, and have non-existent real-time reporting in the Center Console of the 'iffy' chargers.

Keep bugging Tesla. I'm driving through Southlake in a couple months. Hopefully, this 'dirty little secret' will soon become 'ancient history'.

Did this supercharger station disappear?

Southlake Superchargers are still there. Only issue was with stall 5B, not sure if its fixed yet. Will test next time I get to go that way.

Fixed. Used it this morning.

Any idea what's up? Yesterday the in car nav showed reduced service, but charged fine for me on 4B

I charged my LRMY here yesterday and I only got 81 kw from 15% to 40% when I stopped. It was consistent 81 kw throughout. There was another Model 3 LR that was charging and he was getting only 52 kw.

He was renting from Memphis, TN from Budget and was loving the experience. Thats a looong way from here.
