The pin for the relatively rare 'Temporarily Closed' and 'Reduced Service' have a subtle ⊘ symbol present, as opposed to the small lightning bolt that predominates. Take a minute, each day, as you start your car, or park it, to scan the country. I find the contrast before the map tiles fully propagate helps to make the 'odd' pins stand out.
Yes on NAV--in your case, I'd just call Tesla and ask for a status update. I vaguely remember waiting for an out of commission SC to go live on my most recent trip and I called--actually I remember, now--there was a vital stop that was down for parking lot repainting and I was told that it would be open at 8am the next day. So naturally, I went at 3 AM and went under all the police tape since the paint was dry. On second thought, it wasn't vital, just needed to plug in for 5 minutes to add it to my list
They haven't given you old-timers free nav yet? Seems like they should just enable it for the "end of range anxiety" that the energy planner gives, and nowadays supercharger status. Unless of course you don't actually have a GPS receiver in your car at all. I haven't followed the excruciating details of Tesla for that long (back when tech package was a thing and I played with the design studio, I always checked the box, cause I would consider it an essential feature).

I need to update my list after the last trip. There was a point when I realized I hadn't taken pictures at all of them and had to take a few deep breaths. Maybe I'll just go back!I can introduce you to some others if it would help

Then again, maybe I'm just not "one of you".
I can prove three at least! Wait though, we also have a picture of NKYTA tying me at Gillette, WY and taking the lead at my home charger, Sheridan, WY, so 5.
We'd love if you'd get a quad and start taking photos of your stops. Not for proof, just for visual aid in our Aerial Supercharger thread..I took a picture when I took first place last summer (Kelowna, BC) then another at #300 (Kingsland, GA) and again at #350 (Dows, IA). I could be totally making this list up as I've been accused by someone who said it was impossible to drive 1000 miles in a day
I can vouch for Gillette or maybe it was Sheridan, they're starting to run together. The place was full up after the Custer Tesla rally and you graciously unplugged for me on my return back to WA State. Thanks for helping out. This was the only place I've had the red ring fault happen when trying to charge. After rebooting, all was fine.
Yep, Sheridan--less than a mile from my office. That was NKYTA's car, but you can imagine I've plugged in there before. Solely for research purposes, of course
You evil, evil man. I was disappointed when I got back from tidying up my New England chargers earlier this summer to find construction on a new New Milford station. And Danbury and Leomister have since popped up so besides the reason to go back I'd now have a functional reason to revisit old stops if I got a quad. Birthday present idea!
