Tesla launches solution to end Supercharger fights once and for all

Key Points:

• Tesla is introducing a Virtual Queue system for its Superchargers to eliminate disputes over charging order at congested locations, notifying drivers via the Tesla app when it is their turn to charge based on their location and queue position.
• The Virtual Queue relies on drivers adhering to app prompts to start charging only when notified, aiming to reduce tensions and confusion during busy periods at popular Supercharger stations.
• Tesla North America has launched a new incentive offering one year of free Supercharging for new orders of the Model 3 Premium (Long Range) and Performance variants, aiming to boost sales amid growing competition and lost federal tax credits.
• The free Supercharging offer can save Model 3 owners approximately $800–$1,200 annually on charging costs, enhancing the vehicle’s value proposition and encouraging more frequent use of Tesla’s charging network.
• Tesla has begun mass production of the Cybercab robotaxi at Giga Texas, debuting a new glossy champagne gold finish on the first unit, signaling a shift from the earlier matte prototypes and advancing Tesla’s goal of deploying fully autonomous ride-hailing services.
