Hello I was wondering if anyone here has used the Tesla SC in Selinsgrove, PA (Target) .

Tesla App, ABRP, and Plugshare all seem to suggest that I can charge there. I don't have a Tesla adapter. ABRP pegged me to arrive at this station at 30% full. I need to double-check if I can indeed charge here. It is not fun to be stuck in a pickle.

Thank you very much for your input.

Ps, we'll be traveling on route 15 north through Williamsport, PA. If you know of other reliable chargers near Selinsgrove I'll be much obligated.

You can check the tesla dot com / findus map. Some chargers have built in adapters so you don't need to bring your own, some you need to bring your own, and some aren't open to non Telsa EVs. You can filter the map for superchargers that have built in adapters.
Edit: I looked at the Tesla map and it says adapter included for other EVs for the Snelingsgrove location. You can also check plugshare and read the comments.

 

@Jenn PlugShare says the Tesla SuperChargers at Target (501 Marketplace Blvd, Selinsgrove) are Open to Non-Tesla, and the comments and listing indicate the 16 stations all have MagicDock adapters as well.

If you've never used the MagicDock adapter, you press and hold the button on the regular NACS plug for two seconds, then push it up and into the adapter to withdraw. But you do need the Tesla app (FREE) and have your Bolt entered into the app for the adapter to come out (also need to enter CC info into the app for payment).

We were planning a trip in the area (Knoebels Amusement Park in Elysburg, PA) and you're right there's not a lot of DCFC nearby. There's L2 chargers at Knoebels which we were planning to use since we'd be spending the day there.

Good luck.

 

THANKS to all who chimed in.

I did check all three apps before posting. Tesla App, ABRP, and Plugshare all imply that I should be able to charge there. However I was hoping to perhaps get a confirmation from someone who's actually used it (to hear from the horses mouth so to speak hahaha). Unfortunately the only person who claims to have actually used it said it is not compatible. This is mind-boggling.

Oh boy, I wish there was a Tesla equipped with MD near me so I could get some practice. I've bookmarked your notes to bring on trip. Thanks again.

 

In Tesla app you set your car as a bolt and the correct year. Then you tell the app whether or not you have an adapter. Then the Tesla app will guide you to the proper charging station.

Chevy app has slightly improved charging. Silly app requires you to use map not planner to easily select "charge here" to allow GM discount if any. No other app can guide you to Teslas with or without adapters correctly. Only Tesla app.

 

I have charged my Bolt there, but you need the adapter

 

You shouldn't need to buy an adapter (if you don't already have one). Both the Tesla app and PlugShare indicate that the CCS adapter is on each of the (16) stations. They call that the MagicDock.

 

I have had one instance of Plugshare showing "Open to Non-Tesla" but the Tesla app didn't show that location so I wasn't able to charge, just one.
All the other times the Tesla SC's with the drop down adapter (Magicdock) were the smoothest charging experience.
If you downloaded the Tesla app, input your CC info and car info and the app shows that charging location when you open it, you should be good to go (literally).

 

I didn't check the Tesla app since others already did so, but Plugshare makes it about as clear as can be that it has Magic Docks. And there are lots of checkins and pix from drivers of other brands.

 

To keep up to date I'd use the Tesla app to search.

 

Tesla.com says that site is a magic doc(aka has the adapter ). Always trust Tesla website or app when in doubt.

 

Tesla shows you don't need adapter.

 

You are correct those are V4 chargers with Magic Dock when I was there I didn't check I just used my adapter because I am so accustomed to using it at Tesla chargers.

 

sorry to see nevada lose! great competition though

 

Agreed. The game actually was a lot closer than the score showed. NV didn't hit too badly, just too scattered. Those unearned errors/runs didn't help either.
