Interesting- so they plan to relocate them? The original drawings had them in front of the pumps near the new entrances.They are lit up now. Talked to Buc-ees manager that said these are temporary until the store next door opens. 16 right now.
Well put - San Antonio is definitely underserved for a large city with 3 interstates.I've got a post from nearly a year ago on here as well - the third one on this board - about how badly needed this is, and how Flatonia is over run. I don't blame Flatonia for being the problem here, as it's 6.5 years old (prior to even Model 3's being on the road), and was at the time a "large" help for those of us going Houston to San Antonio. When charging then we would be asked lot of questions from people at the gas pumps about what electric cars were like. I feel like we converted a lot of people at that station over the years.
The problem since has been Tesla's complete lack of care about this route, and from my previous statistics:
San Antonio to Austin: 80 miles, 52 charging stalls. 1 stall every 1.5 miles on average, and 10.6 chargers per million residents of the two areas.
Austin to Dallas: 195 miles, 50 charging stalls, 1 stall every 3.9 miles on average, and 5.05 chargers per million residents of the two areas.
The 48 in Temple bring these numbers way closer to San Antonio to Austin.
Houston to Dallas: 240 miles, 76 charging stalls, 1 stall every 3.2 miles on average, and 5.17 chargers per million residents of the two areas.
With 39 added to Fairfield and Ennis since this post.
Houston to San Antonio: 200 miles, 14 charging stalls, 1 stall every 14.2 miles on average, and 1.42 chargers per million residents of the two areas.
0 Added in a year - this is a problem.
You still have the issue of, charge in Flatonia when going west or make it all the way across San Antonio to the west side, with no back-up if things change along the way.
Tesla has shown for years they don't care about this stretch of I-10, as demonstrated by the numbers above and the fact the Converse, Seguin and/or Luling all have been 'coming soon' for years now.
At least they are seriously working on it now. Several under construction or just completed.Well put - San Antonio is definitely underserved for a large city with 3 interstates.
Goodbye Flatonia! Still grayed out and showing "coming Q3" on tesla.com supercharger locations.
I have stopped by there plenty of times to "deep charge" including when its been full. So what you describe is normal for any other V2 location. Yes, V3 along with more stalls would be better, but Flatonia as it currently operates is not that bad all things considered.
I've never encountered any "priority" behavior. Whenever I've been on a V2 and someone else was plugged into the paired charger, I got ~75kW (unless my SoC was too high to accept that much) and it didn't matter if I was first or second to plug in. I didn't ask the other cars how much power they were getting, but since I was getting about half the nominal amount, I assumed they were getting about the same. Next time I'm unlucky enough to be sharing a V2, I'll pay more attention....paired chargers shared the 150 kW, and that the first to plug in got priority;
Same here. If the other car drops below the 72kWh draw then you get more.I've never encountered any "priority" behavior.

V2 shenanigans is exactly why Flatonia will never see my MYLR again when I drive through. As for the map thing, Tesla is building a 12-station SC site in my town (Hendersonville, NC) to be finished by the end of November and it isn't showing up on any Tesla map so the map is behind reality.The problem with V2 chargers at Flatonia was that when you pull up and 4 people are charging you never know which of the remaining 4 to choose. Choose correctly and you are pulling down over 100 kWh as the person next to you is almost done, choose incorrectly and you get the remaining 35 kWh not being used by the car next to you.
I would also caution anyone using the Luling station to be careful as Tesla doesn’t list it as open, so you’ll be back tracking 35 miles after driving a further 35 miles to get there in the first place if you arrive and this is being worked on again

Additionally, we are also unlocking 145kW charge rates for our 12,000+ V2 Superchargers over the coming weeks.
When vehicles occupy both stalls for a single V2 Supercharger cabinet, the power is divided between the two vehicles. The first vehicle gets the most power, but the second vehicle will get at least 30 kW. As the first vehicle charges beyond 50% SOC or so, the power is tapered down to protect the battery. The excess capacity is then diverted to the 2nd vehicle. When the first vehicle completes charging or leaves, the second vehicle gets the entire capacity of the Supercharger.
I completely agree with regard to the map on the Tesla website, I was referring to the maps in the car or on the app, where this station is not listed yet. Just a long way to go if you find out this message board and supercharge.info didn't get the latest update one morning and the Thanksgiving travelers now can't get to the west side of San Antonio and their only option is to back track to Flatonia.V2 shenanigans is exactly why Flatonia will never see my MYLR again when I drive through.

Should be 16. Buc-ee’s has so far only used the pre-fab charger sets which come in groups of 4.Is it 15 or 16? Find us says 16
