Tesla owners can now use their navigation screens to see how many spaces are open at Supercharger stations. It’s a small but sure-to-be-appreciated change that should reduce the frustration of making a detour to a Supercharger, only to find all the charging stalls filled up. The information is available in the map app of the center screen in Model S and Model X vehicles. Late last year, Tesla began charging a fee to owners who left their cars at Superchargers after they had completed charging. The fee — which is $0.40 cents per minute in the US if a car remains at a station for more than five minutes after charging is completed — is meant to encourage turnover at Tesla’s charging facilities.
Owners of Tesla 's Model and Model S X vehicles will now be able to see whether Supercharger stations are full or not, thanks to the map app in their navigation screens. The move is set to be welcomed by drivers frustrated by full stalls. Tesla has also implemented a fine of $0.40 cents per minute for car owners who leave their vehicles at a station after charging is completed.
