Henrietta TX has a Tesla supercharger station. It does NOT show up as available for NACS adapters in the Tesla app.

But PlugShare shows it as being open to NACS adapters.

I would love to be able to use it in trips from TX to Colorado.

Does anyone know whether it's available for my 2023 Lariat ER? How would I engage it--with the Ford app? (I couldn't use the Tesla app I'm assuming since it doesn't show up on the Tesla app map as compatible.)

PlugShare shows the same thing for the Buc-ees at Smith Grove, KY, however Tesla’s App shows open to all EVs (Magic Dock). I have plans to go there today and confirm one way or another. I think PlugShare is slow to update their site,because I watched this status on Tesla move from Coming soon to Tesla Only to now All EVs.

We’ll see later today.

You can't go by anything other than TESLA themselves, thru the Tesla locations MAP, with only the FILTER used: " NACS Compatible "... this will show you all FORD Compatiable locations, with your own adapter.

Don't rely on PlugShare or Ford or anyone else.

These also showing Tesla Only in PlugShare, but are definitely V4 W/Magic Dock.

Yep, that’s my Lightning. Works like a charm. Plug and play with a magic dock adapter.

Mine also lists tesla only and it shows it as a 150kW station. Looking at the pictures, they have a silver collar on the handle which would indicate a v2 and 100% not compatible. I have however had plugshare show Tesla Only for locations that I have successfully used. Granted there were comments indicate successful charges and the Tesla app showed it as compatible.

I drive by that station 4 times a year. Pretty sure it's still a V2 station. It is a great location with food and restrooms and plenty of chargers - just not for us.

But you can use the eight V3's at the Sonic in Quanah. It's usually empty when I drive by. Will get you to Amarillo.

And supposedly there is a 12-stall at the CEFCO in Vernon open to us but I've never looked at it.

Not on mine. Says "NACS".
My plugshare app shows "Tesla Only" just as the above screenshot shows, and my Tesla app (which only shows stations open to Ford based on my user profile) shows "nothing in range" when I search on that city. So I wouldn't count on having a charging location there.

I used the Vernon one in April, no issues...

Tap to select the location and it should take you to another screen with photos, reviews, etc

Yeah that screenshot doesn’t say it’s open to non-tesla, it just says it’s a Tesla charger, I believe they call it NACS now. When you tap that and go into the details about the station it clearly says Tesla only.
