Tesla launches its Virtual Supercharger Queue to eliminate confusion over charging order at congested stations. The feature addresses incidents like a fight last year stemming from disagreements on arrival times.
When drivers approach a full Supercharger, the Tesla app displays a message using location data to notify them of wait times, according to Not a Tesla App. Another prompt asks: "There is a waitlist to charge. Are you sure you want to start a charging session now?"
The app informs drivers of their position in the queue and the number of vehicles ahead. It relies on drivers plugging in only when prompted. Tesla had announced plans for such a solution previously.
Teslarati reports queues at sites like Lancaster, PA, where confusion over order arises, though conflicts remain rare.

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.
