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 S and Model X vehicles will now be able to see whether Supercharger stations are full or not , thanks to the map displayed in their navigation system . The move is set to be welcomed by drivers affected by full stalls . Tesla has also implemented a fee of 40 cents per minute for car owners who leave their vehicles at a station after testing is completed .
