Is there coffee at Superchargers?


FYI for Tesla owners in Cali; if you're taking the trip between NorCal and SoCal, make a stop at the Kettleman City supercharger. It's massive, and you get access to a private lounge, espresso bar, air conditioning, nice bathrooms, and even a small play area for little kids.

(Just don't use the vending machines there; got some expired snacks :/)

In my experience, Superchargers are ALWAYS near 1) coffee, 2) food, 3) bathrooms.


Although sometimes the food is limited to Carl's Jr.


Fair enough, sometimes the food selection is limited to fast food or fast-food-like.


The one time I took my Model X on a road trip (before I sold it and bought a PHEV), one of the stops was in Lima, Montana. The greasy spoon restaurant in that dirt parking lot was... an experience.


To be fair, you're stopping in literally middle of nowhere in a city with a population of 221[1]. I wouldn't expect much.

Perhaps a “how the other half lives” one...?


I don't know if this is a serious question. The superchargers in my area are in the parking lot of grocery stores in which coffee shops are present.


It was, and thanks!
