Yeah, 'huge' is a bit generous. They did mention other locations including Texas, more in NY and a planning/funding disclosure in Colorado. Pointed to https://supercharge.info/changes as a place to track these developments.

If you go here:
https://www.tesla.com/findus
... and unselect everything except for Superchargers Open to Non-Tesla, you'll see the actual information, as opposed to whatever these social media influencers are somehow using to fill up seventeen minutes.
Definitely more stations that the initial rollout, although still definitely more of a test basis.

Makes me want to drive to Spokane for the weekend just to check them out ?

Magic Docks just added to the Superchargers in Mackinac City, MI. That’s pretty big news as the area is otherwise a DCFC wasteland…

Meanwhile over this side of the pond we just plug into V4s and rock on ?

Nice - what charging speed do you get? 150KW?

136 kW

 

[Zcd1]

136 kW

What does the curve look like - does it hold at 136KW as long as other brands of chargers do?

 

[WasserGKuehlt]

136 kW

That's, like, 350 EA kW.

It held it quite flat from what I could see for most of the charge. That said I only took it to around 60% or so on that charge, so I don’t know about later in the curve.

These being 0-500v standard Tesla SuC output, it of course won’t run anywhere near as high / deep as a 0-1000v unit and one is capped anyway by the 150kW limit of the on board booster.

Right - I know about the 150KW cap - I just wondered how it compared to the "non-Tesla" 400/500V or 800v chargers you've used.
