So in all of Texas there is just one Supercharger location with Magic Docks, what’s up with that? I was able to get 122 kW with 20% SOC, which is not bad but it’s still far less than the 170 kW I can get on some EA chargers. I wonder if 120 kW is going to be the norm for charging the F150L using a NACS to CCS1 adapter.

If it's consistent, I'll take it over EA any day. Had a stop add 2 hours to my trip waiting for a charge due to 2 not working, 1 derated to 30kW and the last only gave 100kW.

In all of the United States, there are only 12 Supercharger locations with Magic Docks. I'd say you're lucky to have one.

So far yes. I am hopeful that with the passage of the new NACS requirement to get federal funds distributed through Texas, that Tesla will add more MagicDocks or new installs with them.

My buddy @GDN tried it out at 43% and maxed out at 129kw.

I hope to try it on my PRO soon if the Temps break since i ride 🚴‍♂️ in that area. Too far just to try it.

But on a road trip I would be glad to see that speed.
I recently did an Austin RT from DFW and hit 2 EA stations with the new equipment and it was great! Hit 160kw before leveling out at 120+. But then I recently went to the EA in Denton and it was horrific! First 350kw charger was limited to 83kw. Fine, but then tried the other 350 and it initially ramped to 123kw before faulting 2x. Finally connected and got a solid 43kw 👎. After that I cancelled my EA account and got my balance refunded. I won't use their chargers again unless needed.
I also hit up a 350kw EvGo station that was operable according to the app, only to find it Frozen and unusable.
I CANNOT WAIT TIL TESLA SC ACCESS IS A REAL THING! I will take my Model 3 on any long distance trips until then
