That’s true, because you didn’t even spell it right lol!I've drivein Tucson to SD countless times and have never heard of Tanca lol.
Same here. Crazy.I've drivein Tucson to SD countless times and have never heard of Tanca lol.
I see now. It's a brand new Shell station:
Tacna Shell Travel Center
FWIW, the pic looks very similar to the Shell Station in Willow Beach, AZ (between Vegas and Kingman) which is also rumored to be a future supercharger location. Not sure if the Shell in Willow Beach is new like this, but it looked new ish when I stopped in on March 1st. There were some extra transformers, an excavator, and some pipes sticking up out of the ground, but nothing that specifically looked like supercharger construction just yet. I took some pics but didn't bother posting because there was nothing concrete.
Laslty, the most recent supercharger opening in AZ at New River was also a Shell Station. So perhaps there is some agreement and many will go in at Shells.
Better to get a pleasant surprise than watch something take weeks and months to materialize. But thanks for the heads up on the Kingman/Vegas info.I can confirm that there will be a V3 supercharger at that Shell between Vegas and Kingman. The company that owns that station owns the Tacna and New River stations. (I have a personal friend who is a knowledgable insider with that company.) I actually gave people a heads-up about Tacna and New River in one of the Arizona Tesla groups on Facebook. So -- get on Facebook and don't be surprised when stuff like this happens! ;-)
I hope they can stay open, the shell/subway that is. If not, the SC will still work. That was a risky thing to do - open a sandwich shop in the middle of nowhere. We shall see - I wish them good luck.I see now. It's a brand new Shell station:

Do they own the one on Rita road as well? (SE of Tucson on I10)I can confirm that there will be a V3 supercharger at that Shell between Vegas and Kingman.
