Supercharger - Wytheville, VA

Proud TSLA/SCTY shareholder since 2013.
A near miss! Returning from western North Carolina on Wednesday; first SpC stop will be Wytheville.
I just looked at PlugShare to get the restaurant name near the charger but the Wytheville supercharger was missing from the map. What ????
After enabling all filters in the app the supercharger showed up but is listed as "Payment required." I'm not sure why someone would change this since the only superchargers that require money are located inside a parking garage although the charging part is still free.
A few months ago, I tried to suggest that PlugShare add some new superchargers that were being installed but they said they get a "feed" directly from Tesla that populates their maps for them and I've tried to edit a location and add a Supercharger but it is not permitted.
If this is still listed as "payment required" in a few days when I check again then I'll edit or let them know that it should be listed as "free."

It isn't that "Parking" is Free or Not Free ... it's the "Cost" that is listed as Payment Required when it shouldn't be (or wasn't for many months that I looked at the map).
Go to the "Edit" option for this location and see if it is listed as "Payment Required."

Your screen shows “may be required “. That is correct if you are driving a Model 3.

I guess now all of the Superchargers are technically payment required for Model 3 owners. Maybe that has something to do with it?

Right, just what I was going to say. The description of payment may be required is correct.
Then why does the first screenshot show every other supercharger in the area as "Free" (i.e. NO Payment Required)? If PlugShare wants to indicate it costs for Model 3 then all superchargers should have been updated at the same time with this -- not a single one. I guess that's my point.
Just like every sign everywhere that states, "Road may be icy." Yep, and it might NOT be icy.

Darren,
I'd go back and fiddle with your original filter settings as it may have been something else that excluded the site besides payment.

Actually, no need as I took a peek this morning at PlugShare on a browser and the Wytheville supercharger was back to being listed as "NO Payment Required" (which is what my default setting is on ... Superchargers or Tesla HPWC chargers and No Payment Required). So I changed nothing and it is back to being listed the way it was a week ago and earlier.
That, to me, means it wasn't a filter or setting on my side. It's sort of a moot point since I don't go to a supercharger with only the app on my phone but am in my car and it is listed on the in-car nav but if I were already en route to Wytheville and trying to look at route options on my phone I would have been a bit worried that it wasn't there or was not working. When all of the others were still listed as 'free' then I wouldn't have initially thought to enable the "Payment Required" filter to see a supercharger.
Just got here to find 3 cars plugged in but no power. One of those owner said power had been out since 2:30am.
I need to get to Charlotte and am kicking myself for not charging more at Mt. Hope. I’m currently on the J-1772 at the Nissan down the road.
Can’t imagine too many people are going o read this but maybe I can save someone a headache.
Tesla service person on the phone said she’d try to get it marked out of service on the nav.
