Tesla App now shows you what your Supercharger will look like upon arrival
AI-summarised brief · reviewed before publication
Tesla’s latest app update (v4.61.0) now displays Supercharger site maps directly on users’ phones, replacing the previous in‑vehicle-only feature. The maps show stall positions, live occupancy, out‑of‑service posts, and the specific Tesla model at each occupied bay. Initially piloted in California and Texas, the feature has expanded to most U.S. Superchargers and is available to all owners, including those with older Model 3 and Model Y vehicles that lacked the hardware for in‑car maps. The update offers drivers a clearer preview of parking layout and stall availability before arrival.
