1. Austin, TX - Downtown | Tesla
2. Beaumont, TX | Tesla
3. Boerne, TX | Tesla <<<<<< New (coming 2019)
4. Brenham, TX | Tesla
5. Cedar Park, TX | Tesla
6. College Station, TX | Tesla
7. Dallas, TX (Downtown) | Tesla <<<<<<< New (coming 2019)
8. Dallas, TX - Mesquite | Tesla
9. Dilley, TX | Tesla
10. Falfurrias, TX | Tesla
11. Fort Stockton, TX | Tesla
12. Fort Worth, TX | Tesla
13. Fredericksburg, TX | Tesla
14. Houston, TX | Tesla
15. Houston, TX - Katy | Tesla
16. Houston, TX - Uptown | Tesla
17. Lubbock, TX | Tesla
18. Pecos, TX | Tesla
19. San Angelo, TX | Tesla
20. San Antonio, TX | Tesla
21. San Antonio, TX -Walden Meadows | Tesla
22. Sugarland, TX | Tesla
23. Wichita Falls, TX | Tesla

Not too sure about BOTH a location in Boerne and "Walden Meadows". They are only a few miles apart, and would serve the same areas/routes. The expected location is at I-10 and Fair Oaks, but the mailing address is in Boerne. I think they just forgot to remove the Walden Meadows entry, which is actually a subdivision with little commercial development.

I tend to agree on Walden meadows.

I’m still confused by San Antonio. They have the permits with nothing really done at 410/I-10. The have the 311 at the Wal-Mart. And then the Borne/Walden meadows thing.

Interesting times!

That's 21 locations with 'Target Opening' sometime in 2018. Does it seem realistic to anyone that Tesla will actually open all of these? I'd be pleasantly surprised if one-third of them are operational by the end of the year.

If they only do Wichita and Fort Stockton - that alone will be a big win.

I think that 20 openings could be manageable. A few months ago Tesla was looking for a person for a position based in Houston titled Supercharger Construction Manager, South region. Said the person should be able to manage up to 20 projects at a time. In the Stockton SC thread, someone posted that there is a new boss based in Houston that is managing the project there. Possibly they found their guy and he is getting started in the task of finishing out the south region.

x2 on Wichita. Ditto for Clayton NM as that completes the northwest 287/87 dog-leg to go from TX to CO and vice-versa.

Do you mean Wichita Falls?

Yup. Wichita Falls.

Do the drive from Houston to Colorado ~2-3 times per year. Can make it with the existing SCs but the longest stretches of the journey are on 87/287 and both of those locations (Wichita Falls + Clayton NM) will make it far easier!

Katy site may be at the HEB at the Pin Oak Rd. exit off I-10 (25675 Nelson Way). Tesla is having a utility survey done there. This doesn’t always result in a supercharger though, it’s just a site evaluation.

 

[TexasEV]

A supercharger may be coming to Eastland, a small town off I-20 just east of Cisco. Tesla has ordered a utility survey for the Walmart parking lot.

Vidor, TX Walmart too...

Vidor, TX Walmart too...

Have to say I'd happily drive miles out of my way to avoid Vidor.

Here’s an unexpected one— Tesla is doing a utility survey at the CEFCO convenience store on 290 in Giddings, just east of Buccees.

That would be a huge help with a weekend trip to College Station from Austin or SA.

they do seem to have College Station earmarked for a supercharger as well as Brenham - but I do realize that those coming soon markers are probably more aspirational

Currently sitting here at the only Austin supercharger with 5 cars on a waitlist to charge. This is ridiculous. Austin needs to be the one place they put more than anywhere because it is the central city in Texas where everyone goes to charge.

Austin is very time sensitive.
It spends most of the time empty, except at popular times like the middle of the day or dinner time.

Actually we did just fine for four years before the supercharger opened. There are superchargers within 100 miles to the north, east, and south, and dozens of J1772s and HPWCs in Austin for destination charging.

This. It’s probably the locals that really don’t need it, but are saving money.

Katy has a survey site 25675 Nelson Rd at Pin Oak exit of I-10

in the HEB parking lot. Ready for @BlueShift ?
