Can the Mach-E now use the Tesla Super Charger stations?

Has anyone had the opportunity to do this yet?

Last I saw, there are only around a dozen in the US so far that have been opened to non-Teslas.

Hi I use it on the road often, but only works with Tesla App for SuperChargers available for non -Teslas. It is activated only through the App. Also note the lead is on a very short lead for Teslas to back in. You almost need your front bumpers within an inch of the charger with your left front fender aligned with available plug side to reach Mach-e port. If it’s a unit with two cables, another Tesla might not be able to use it depending on how your parked, … so be prepared to get told off by an occasional arrogant tesla owner.?. Fact I often have to try another charger because some fail to connect when your blue led charge port leds start flashing RED!
On 350KW Suoercharger, best I got with 30% at 12C was 78kW.

So, here in the US: if I download the Tesla app for SuperChargers, will I be recognized? Will I be able pay through that app like with other charger companies? And will the app show maps of SuperChargers that accept non-Teslas?

Yes, but there aren’t any in Oregon. They‘re mostly in NY.

Just used the ‘famous’ Brewster one for the first time. Very easy if you have the Tesla app. You activate the particular charger and it releases the hose with the right attachment on it.

Isn‘t it impossible if you don’t have the Tesla app?

Correct.

At this point, there are a handful in NY (9 locations) and CA (2 locations), that's it.

You can see them in PlugShare. Set plug to CCS, and network to Tesla SuperCharger.

Yes. Multiple threads on this. NY and CA only.

AFAIK, all the magic dock Superchargers are V3 which max out at 250kW for a Tesla and 150kW for non-Tesla's. The V4 supposedly will supply 350kW but the first ones are just now being installed in Arizona I think.

I’ve used the one in Parish NY a few times. Works like a dream. I just make sure to pull up to the one on the far left of the row and pull in from the side, like I’m curb parking. That way I’m not blocking anyone else. Though honestly it’s a bank of 8 chargers and I’ve never seen anyone else there. Works great and faster than any CCS I’ve used yet.
I didn’t realize how limited these were until reading this thread. Weird that I love so rurally in Northern NY and I of all people, have great access to a well located Tesla Charger.

I didn’t realize they were so extensively located on those parts of New York. Just did a trip out to Indiana plus Ohio and Pennsylvania (trip report coming soon) and went through New York for the first leg. No real problems charging with the mish mash of vendors (except in Oneonta) but I prefer as much plug and play as possible which is why I like EA and will probably unfortunately give Elon some charging money in the future now that I have seen how it works.

They appear to be near regions by the factory in Buffalo or Fremont area. Which makes sense.
