Hello all,

The day has come; magic dock is here! Wow, I never thought the day would come, but you just can't understate the importance of this moment. Out of spec already has a YouTube video:

So, as magic docks are installed in your area, please post them here and let us know! Also, post your experiences using them.

I hope that Plugshare will come up with a "Magic Dock" filter, or "Charge Your Non-Tesla" if copyright restricted. This seems to work, although you have to set the filters yourself:
Plugshare –> Filters –> Plugs (1 of 9) –> CCS/SAE –> Networks (Toggle All Off), then –> Networks (1of 25) –> Checkbox Tesla Supercharger

I'm not smart enough to figure this out. I don't see Tesla in network, or are they "supercharger?"

You can also use the Tesla app, they have a filter for "Charge Your Non-Tesla"

There are only some in CA and NY at this time.

Thanks for sharing. This is a big Tesla supercharger station near me at it at a Target. Store I was wondering of the night when I roll through there. When will it be at times I can plug the Lightning up to this thing! Looks like the time is coming up soon. This is really good news!

Yes. I fixed the post.

It’s $$……Tesla could be prioritizing states like NY that provide significant tax breaks and monetary incentives for being a public charging provider. They also seem to be retrofitting low traffic sites to lessen complaints regarding CCS vehicles blocking chargers due to their charging port locations.

Somewhat relevant to the opening up of the Supercharging network, Eric from the YouTube channel News Coulomb discusses the pros/cons of large EV installations. I was surprised that EA has advantages due to balanced charging.

But, I'd think we will see regular expansion so folks should post them here as they happen!

There are several more that popped up in New York State today since I set that Plugshare filter. They're probably keeping a fairly close radius around Giga Buffalo (or whatever it's called now).

Placerville CA. All 8 Supercharger stalls have Magic Docks. The Tesla app works very similar to the EA and ford app when you use the app to start charging.

 

[StephenD]

In CA, the only chargers I could find in the whole state are Placerville and Santa Cruz.

The ones near Santa Cruz are working:
It was great to meet @everiklevine who had graciously allowed me to charge my Lightning up in the Sierras. I declare we were the first pair of Lightnings to charge at a Supercharger at the same time!

You can now filter to just show chargers open to non-Teslas on Tesla’s map. Find Us | Tesla

So far in CA and NY

The non-Tesla supercharger pricing is about 20% above EA. .52 vs .43. Speed seemed a little slower than EA. The supercharger was a 250. It was charging at about 120 for me with about 60% soc. I usually get around 150 on the EA 350 charger. I wonder if Tesla is throttling? Small sample size though.

Two Lightnings ‘hogging up’ the Tesla Super Chargers. 🤦🏻‍♂️ 🛻🛻


Over my 32 min charge, I averaged 110 kW. Yes $0.52 is more than EA, but it’s a price we’ll have to pay to gain access to their larger network. As has been pointed out by others, as more networks come on line, we’ll be able to shop around for better rates and faster chargers. For now, though, it’s all about more access.
I understand for $13/mo you can get a Tesla charging membership and get a lower rate.

There are definitely places in AZ I'd gladly pay that price!
