Supercharger - Sweetwater, TX

[erewhon]

OK, thanks for the info. How does that work for chargers - same as parking spots? I.e., can that charger can only be used by folks with handicapped tags?

There isn't any other marking so not sure. It's Sweetwater so guessing it wouldn't be enforced unless someone complains.

I don't know about this one, but others i've seen have "use this one last" verbiage.

Just plug in and see if it works? I wanted to do that at Cisco, but they wouldn't let me do it.

The blue sign says something to the effect of "use last". It's not an official handicapped space and you can use it if you need to.

So is the sweet water supercharger on line? Can we use it?

I just called the Holiday Inn in Sweetwater and they told me Tesla just finished all their testing and they are up and running! I'll hopefully be charging there this weekend

I may drive there just to charge. I've never used a Supercharger ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hope you get to be the inaugural person to charge there.
Double virgins: both you and the Supercharger.

Think I'll call Tesla in the morning to get an "official" confirmation, but this is great news for my drive this Saturday to San Antonio! As much as I love Hilton Garden Inn, I'd prefer to keep the $100 in my pocket.

Weird that this one is online before Cisco, no? Wasn't Cisco nearly complete when Sweetwater was just getting underway?

It's gone live on supercharge.info!

Trivia: Is this now USA's most remote SC (relative to other SC locations)?

A lot depends upon when the utility puts in the transformer.

supercharge.info changes superchargers to open based on posts in TMC and other sources like facebook - not vice versa (ie, it's only a reflection of what you see in this thread, not something official).

Has anyone made the trip from DFW area to Lubbock? Getting to Lubbock looks easy now with the Sweetwater SC. However, I am not sure if there is anyplace to charge once there?

I see a Nissan dealership and RV park that's about it. I used Plugshare to locate the EV charging

I drove 90 miles to use a SC just to try it out, when I first got my S85.

That honor would go to the one and only SC in Mexico and Russia....

You can charge at my place in Lubbock anytime. HPWC 80amps

I've got a HPWC at my house in Andrews with 80 amps and it works great (charges at 60 mph). At our house in Lubbock I have a HPWC with 50 amps for the weekend.

Kudos to fellow Tesla owners

Yeah I know - hence the reason I mentioned it here - must have had some other evidence that it is open.
