With Tesla opening up a part of their Supercharger network for non-Teslas to use, has anyone taken their Mach-E to one to try it out? If you have how did it go?

There are only a handful of them available right now (NY and CA).

Not yet, the one they have in Houston is downtown so not convenient for me but a great spot for travelers passing through as all the major highways coverage in that area.

I posted about this on the other forum last week. I used the one in Red Hook NY last week. Worked perfectly, only issue is the cable is about two feet too short.

you needed an adapter/ Where did you get it?

The adapter, called a 'Magic Dock', is part of the Supercharging unit, and comes out when the app authorizes you to charge. Supercharging units are being retrofitted with this adapter.

Comes out of the supercharger??

It is locked into the Supercharger and unlocks when you authenticate using app.

Yes. You have to use the app to use a Tesla Supercharger.

The adapter you see has been added to the Tesla SC handle. When you pull up to the stall you want to use and then enter the number into the Tesla app it releases the handle and adapter. This worked better than any other charging experience I have had in the 2 years I have had this car.

Which app did you use?

It's in the Tesla app.

I see the comment that only a handful of Tesla SCs in CA and NY have been retrofitted so far. Is there a way to find out when others become so modified? I live in PA and want to travel back and forth to northeast Ohio, but need a place to charge to make the round trip. I believe that there are Tesla SCs at the Ohio Turnpike rest stops. Would like to when those would be available to charge my 2022 GT Mach-E.

The only way to know which chargers are modified is the Tesla app. Haven't seen anyone post that you can set it up to notify you of a change in charger configuration though. I'd look to see if I could save locations as favorites, then check them every now and then. They will be converting / installing about 3,500 between now and 12/31/2024.

Thanks. It seems more likely that other, new charging options will become available along that route before Tesla gets around to converting.

Only Tesla knows that answer.

Hey @EVinPA this map from PlugShare showing Magic Dock locations should cover most of them currently live. It's actually listed as "Tesla Supercharger CCS Locations"

So basically unless you own a tesla we are limited to charging stations still 🤷‍♂️

Watch this video from Tom at State of Charge….he explains it all.
