Tesla Superchargers: Evaluating Operational Status

Today, I examined the operational status at 13 Tesla Superchargers sites in eastern Oregon and Washington state. To conduct this ChargerAudit, I noted the functionality of the Supercharger stalls as indicated by the navigation screen in the car and the Tesla mobile app. Additionally, I assessed the success of charging attempts and noted the number of stalls occupied by other Tesla drivers at each site. While I couldn’t test every single stall, I made an effort to identify any potential issues by observing the condition of the stalls and driver behavior, such as if they moved to a different stall.

Daily Stats:

Number of Supercharger Sites Visited: 13
Total Stalls: 108
Down Stalls: 1
Operational Stalls: 99.1%

Issue:

There was one stall that was reported as Out of Order on the nav and app. That was stall 3B at the Pendleton, OR Supercharger. I examined the connector and observed that both pins were missing. When plugged in to the car it would not initiate a charge. This one stall is the only issue I found today.

Here is a ChargerAudit tweet from today.

@RateYourCharge @TeslaCharging Stall 3B is correctly noted on the Tesla nav & app as out of order (pins missing). The remaining 7 stalls had cars use them. ✅Good check-in at Pendleton, OR. #ChargerAudit pic.twitter.com/XD1yN3AmkP
