Seems like tesla is upgrading all the chargers at the sites with magic dock. Which means they better get rolling on adding new supercharger sites in urban area. Its crazy in SF, we only have one real supercharger site that doesn't cost money to park at. Tesla needs to just rent some warehouses and install chargers inside and put a lounge/restroom for customers. Plenty of rentable properties, very little open space for outdoor chargers in the city.

Generally, most chargers should be empty - they have to be built for peak use, not median. So that one holiday or hour they max out at is the target.

And the Tesla app is getting better and they hope to have predictive use to tell you to use the charger on the other side of the highway so everyone doesn't pile into one lot. Even to the point of doing traffic distribution and predictive modeling to help alleviate congestion.

This new station in Tulsa Oklahoma should solve the problem with those pesky EVs with ports in awkward places.

Brilliant.

Granted some locations are tight for space, but I've been wondering when space is not a constraint, why they kept installing the old configuration.

We’ve been seeing drawings of this beast for months. Many of us expected to see them before the end of last year. I’m sure it’s no coincidence that these started popping up in a bunch of places right after the Biden meeting.
