Tesla Launches Virtual Waitlist Pilot for Superchargers

Tesla has launched a pilot Virtual Waitlist at five Supercharger sites to resolve sequencing issues and prevent line-cutting disputes. The system automatically adds drivers to the queue via navigation and supports non-Tesla EVs as charging network usage increases.

Tesla Launches Virtual Waitlist Pilot for Superchargers
TL;DRAI · 60 sec read

Tesla rolls out Virtual Waitlist pilot at five Supercharger sites in California and New York. Vehicles automatically join the queue when set as navigation destination and get notifications showing position in line. Non-Tesla EVs access it via the Tesla app. This resolves rare queuing confusion and physical altercations from line-cutting.

Tesla has launched a new Virtual Waitlist to address a rare but relevant Supercharger problem. The feature solves sequencing confusion when there is a line to charge at one of the company's locations.

The development follows Teslarati reporting last month on what was called the Virtual Queue. In rare occurrences, there were physical altercations at Superchargers when someone might have cut in line. Tesla started to develop a system that would resolve this issue, and it is now rolling it out.

The pilot program, which Tesla is calling the Waitlist, was announced on May 11 on the official TeslaCharging X account. It is currently active at sites in Los Gatos, Mountain View, and San Francisco in California, as well as San Jose, California, and the Bronx, New York at East Gun Hill Road. The specific California addresses are Los Gatos Boulevard, El Monte Avenue, Lombard Street, and Saratoga Avenue.

Drivers are encouraged to share feedback directly through the Tesla app to refine the system before a potential broader rollout. The TeslaCharging account posted that it is now testing a new waitlist feature at 5 Supercharger sites and asked users to share feedback through the Tesla app to help make it better.

Tesla released a video to showcase the feature. It automatically joins the waitlist when a vehicle has the Supercharger with the wait as the destination in the navigation. There is also a notification that lets drivers know their place in line. In the example shown, the wait is less than five minutes with two cars ahead.

Having a wait at a Supercharger is relatively rare but does happen. It is even more frequent now that there are more EVs allowed to use the Supercharger Network. Non-Tesla EVs can also join the queue using the Tesla app, according to the social media release of the pilot program.
The program should help alleviate the rare risk of incidents at Superchargers. Tesla will expand this program as it sees fit and gathers valuable data and reviews from users.

The Circuitry is a passion project I've always wanted to build, and I love the work behind it.

Running it costs real money. APIs, hosting, time. To keep improving the site and growing this into something useful for everyone, those costs have to be covered.

Any contribution is appreciated. If not, no pressure. Thanks for reading.

Tesla and SpaceX confirm Terafab chip fab in Texas

Tesla and SpaceX have confirmed Grimes County, Texas as the site for their Terafab semiconductor megafactory, with the first phase costing roughly $16.8 billion. The project targets the largest chip manufacturing facility on the planet to supply over 1 terawatt of compute per year that exceeds current and future global production capacity.

OpenAI Urges Federal Judge to Throw Out Apple's Trade Secrets Complaint

OpenAI has filed a motion asking a federal judge to dismiss Apple's trade secrets lawsuit, describing the claims as meritless. The dispute, which follows a July suit and this week's injunction request from Apple, highlights tensions after their prior partnership on Siri and OpenAI's hardware push.

Meta introduces Muse Code, its terminal-based coding agent

Meta has released an early beta of Muse Code, a terminal-based coding agent driven by the updated Muse Spark 1.2 model and positioned against Anthropic's Claude Code and OpenAI's Codex. Substantially lower rates, including a contributor plan at $0.10 for every million tokens received, may encourage migration away from higher-priced options such as Anthropic's Sonnet 5.
