    Drove by the alleged site for the Taihape supercharger and no sign of anything yet.

    I wasn't aware there was an alleged site? Has there been some news about it?

    It’s a Coming Soon on the Tesla website.

    I'm not sure that "coming soon" sites necessarily should have a sticky thread, until they're confirmed, under construction, or there's strong reason to believe they're about to be. Sometimes they are "coming soon" for years.

    It’s still Taihape on Tesla.com so have included both names until we know for certain.

    Mangaweka is now live today! Hasn't shown up in the car maps but the chargers are live. Just so happened that I was on a trip to Palmerston North this evening and was one of the first to use it

    I was only to max at 67kW and a person before me only maxed at 77kW on a lower SoC. Seems they might be limited to 77kW like the Timaru superchargers, however neither car was able to precondition due to the cars not knowing of their existence yet:

    Tesla road trip with no COVID. That's nice! If only my car had the right charge-port.....

    As an update, it looks like the charge rate was only limited on the first day of opening. It was delivering the full 120kW a few days later.
