Texas Supercharger Locations

[TexasEV]

No, I don't see it. The only opening soon I see in Texas appears to be Arlington. Even Van Horn doesn't show as opening soon. Could Tesla have served up an updated web page by mistake and took it down?

Did anyone else notice that Wichita Falls is showing up as "Under Construction" on the latest Supercharger map?

Yes, I noticed it when the Tesla 2017 map was released. I'm really hoping it starts construction soon.

This can't be what ChrisTX is referring to. The year maps show lots of icons as a goal but many don't happen that year. It's not an "under construction" indicator by any means. Consider the year maps as more aspirational than informational.

False alarm, that is for Arlington.

I am well aware of how the Tesla future supercharger map works. But it is the only map that has a marker anywhere near Wichita Falls. You might also note I said I hope it starts construction soon.

All the buck'es locations would be money too!

Waaay money.
Why has no one gone to headquarters and sat "Beaver" down for a Come-To-Elon prayer meeting? Lake Jackson, isn't it?

I went by the Arlington Convention Center about 10am today and found that work has just begun. The guy I spoke to said they were hoping to get it built for us quickly.

Nearly completed McAllen Supercharger. 8 Stalls near the McAllen Convention Center!

They did and Buc-ee's said no. Not interested.

How can you disagree with a post that says Bucees is not interested in hosting superchargers. You may not like their decision, but it's a fact. People have been suggesting Bucees ever since the first supercharging sites in Texas were being planned in 2013. It's not a new thought. Who knows what their reason is but they have said no.

Given that the person who disagreed also made the subsequent post, it seems it was meant to show disagreement with the Beaver, not the poster.

Yah sorry I didn't mean to disagree on your opinion just that they don't think it's beneficial... sorry

Just got an email saying the Flatonia supercharger was open. Is that the first of the recently announced bunch? Not sure when the McAllen SC was originally announced. I was trying to get some information about the Brenham SC but found no record of a building permit. I guess that one is just in the planning stages at this point.

If you look at how Buccee*s operates I think they don't want people to linger. For instance they serve food but have no tables to eat at. They are a stop and go business. Lingering for 30-60 minutes is probably to long for them. This is just my guess not something I know as fact.

Agree. I think lingering adds to overhead cost - cleanup staff.

Eating a chili cheese dog in the car isn't exactly a great experience, so we go elsewhere these days.

Any info on Fort Stockton?

Which is funny because I can't get my family out of there in less than 30 minutes regardless. Using the restroom and browsing for what they want to eat always takes plenty long enough for a Supercharge!
