    Minor error, they did not include the distribution chargers. We really need someone to accurately count them and send a message to the developers. It would also help if a charging session reported their use if visiting a casino.

    So far, we've seen YouTube videos of Long Range Model 3 reaching ~195 kW, peak rates. Model S 85 has reached ~125 kW. It is in a parking space that requires a code from your Tesla to enter. There is a complex parking fee setup that if you have a Ceasar's player card makes it free. In addition to the 24 V3 SuperChargers, there are distribution chargers.

    About a dozen, the distribution chargers are typically free from idling fees. One trick would be to reduce the charging rate while feeding your kids tuition money to a slot machine. Or in my case, having fun at the craps table.

    Happily, Motor Trend did a fair review: Tesla V3 Supercharger: We Put the Latest Fast Charger to the Test - MotorTrend

    What is a distribution charger? A Destination charger?

    Fact-fingered typo. <grins>

    Now the site has two 'pins' so both SuperChargers and Destination charger filters work:

    • SuperCharger - if you are transiting on a trip, very important but due to 'idling' fees.
    • Destination chargers - if you are going to 'sleep over' so the car will be fully charged in the morning.

    The Destination Charging (electricity) is free, but the parking is not. They get you no matter what.
