Tesla Partnership with Buc-ee's (26 New Locations)

[Pacernow]

Looked at the Tesla website and they are showing a Supercharger being constructed in the first quarter of 2023 in the Terrell, TX. area. I wonder if that installation will be at the Bus-ee's on Hwy. 80 and I 20?

 

[AudreyHTX1]

I read today that the Luling location is getting another expansion, I wonder if SCs are in the mix. I know I10 has a few choices, but it could really use a V3 between Houston and SA.

This is already listed in Tesla map as target opening Q1 2023.

 

[AudreyHTX1]

But I don’t expect to see the Luling supercharger before fall of next year as new Buc-ee’s take 12 to 16 months to complete construction.

Why can't the charger be open during construction of the Buc-ee's center? I understand for a period there won't be any restroom or food services for Tesla customers, but having a charger is still better than no charger, I would think.

Bucees construction crew would probably rather not deal with it. They are getting noting out of it at that point.

That table shows Daytona Buc ees as open but I don't see it on the Tesla find us page.

Yes, the table was wrong. Still under construction.

 

[GOATMaster]

Is there an updated list with progression? I still see no signs of the Royse City Texas one getting Superchargers.

Thanks for the reply.

I am Away From Spreadsheet. When I'm back, if I remember, I'll do an update.

I posted some host type data September 12th.

US Supercharger Host Types

Host Types of current US Superchargers. The list below has Host Types with 10 or more Superchargers Number opened by year, plus those in Permit and Construction status on Supercharge.info. Excludes Urban Superchargers and Long Island* Also, the Mall category is extremely generic. There are lots...

teslamotorsclub.com

At the time, 10 Buc-ee's Supercharger location were Open. There are now at least 100 open at Wawa.

Buc-ees stops are the highlight of any roadtrip…but it’d be hard to get out of there in 30 minutes. Your car will be ready long before you are. It’s a huge store and there’s too much to see / eat / buy.

They are going to need a massive number of stalls, and need to think about idle fees here. On crowded days, you’ll see lines of cranky Tesla owners with 10% waiting for you to finish sampling brisket.

I’m excited to start using these SCs but I could definitely see skipping them when I’m in a hurry.

I’d be fine with half hour.

 

[Electroman]

63% which is 144 miles added? That means 100% is 230 miles? What Tesla is this? an old S85?

Is splitter your way of marking slow superchargers?

Splitter I believe refers to a supercharger that splits formerly long sectors.

and a "pathetic splitter" means what?

 

[ElectricIAC]

and a "pathetic splitter" means what?

If you have a sector that’s 200 miles between super chargers and you put a charger….30 miles in, that can be considered a “pathetic” splitter.

 

[AudreyHTX1]

Wow, they’ve really been cracking considering this list came out a year ago!!!
