That is awesome. Now the family can get to Del Rio and back to San Antonio with no issues.

Agreed. A supercharger at Del Rio would make a non-interstate drive to Big Bend (from San Antonio) a pleasant drive.When is Del Rio? My Dad was Air Force & I was born there
Although that's still 171mi to Marathon, so you'd probably want Sanderson as well. (Sanderson is also at the end of US-285.)
This is great! And it will really help our visits to the west Hill Country, Frio River etc. US 90 west of San Antonio finally gets some love!!

In 2018 I was driving from South Carolina to visit my brother in Del Rio. This would have been very handy. As I was passing Uvalde my car warned me that if I didn’t turn around, I was out of supercharger range. Definitely need one in Del Rio too. Fortunately he had a 14-50 plug in his garage. Good to see this happening
If we are so lucky, even 2 months could be enough. See how fast San Angelo, Carthage, and Henderson are.Finally! Hopefully it doesn't take two years before it's up and running
Checking in on this thread because we're going to Del Rio next April for the eclipse, followed by a few days in Austin. This location will be a huge help if it's open.
I'm curious where the 12 stalls on supercharge.info came from. The BK lot seems pretty small and the valuation in TDLR is $102K.

it was just a guess. They've been putting 12+ in many Texas sites
I recently got an email from Tesla that said
Really? I follow pretty carefully here and supercharge.info and 138 seems way high unless it’s July 2022 ha ha.
Oh, maybe they are counting the individual charging posts?
Gotcha. Based on what we know so far - lot size and project valuation - I was thinking maybe a 4-stall. I guess we'll see. Hopefully they can get this one going by the eclipse, but I'm not holding my breath.

Why Del Rio for the eclipse? Why better than Austin for example?
I was born in Del Rio (Dad was Air Force - we were there 3 full months lol) but was probably doing Austin for the eclipse (and if I'm REALLY lucky, pick up my CyberTruck the same trip)
But now you have me wondering if I should consider Del Rio instead?
We found a pretty awesome AirBnB in Del Rio. We'll spend a few days there enjoying the massive pool with friends. We'll drive out to the path of totality for the eclipse, then return to the ranch. After that we'll go to Austin and explore downtown, the food scene, and enjoy a penthouse condo for a few days.
We were originally going to do Austin for the eclipse but the place we were really after ended up dropping off of the listings right before we were ready to commit. At this point, any rental properties or hotels are probably going to be quite expensive.

Good info. True on the booking part... and I'm a terrible planner. Usually decide the last second so I'll probably be car-camping lol
