Also worth noting that if you are a Eurotard like me you can now write “supercharger” in the native nav to find Tesla stations again (which then allows for precondition and all the goodies). Change happened a couple of days ago and maybe somewhat related (strange that these two different things happened so close to each others).

Google also has EA live status, got that about a month ago, but Apple is still missing that info. Be aware, those statuses are actually about 2-3 minutes old, likely due to the time it takes for Tesla/EA to communicate to Google servers.

At least in the Bay Area, for a handful of superchargers around here that I spot-checked against the Tesla app, both the available and the total number of chargers were wrong in Google Maps (+/- 5-10, so it’s at least directionally correct, but even a 5-10 minute lag doesn’t account for the inaccuracy) and my Apple Maps isn’t showing either number (I’m on iOS 26.0.1).
Weird that they even got total chargers wrong… <grumpy old man voice> software these days </grump>

Wait…. Did you just break news that Superchargers are part of native nav in Europe? Going to try this at lunch!

Seems so
It worked before (from at least 2021/2022) until a year or so ago when US got access, and has since been hidden. Now you can find them (search for Supercharger, not Tesla), and even if they have a symbol indicating you cannot charge there it still will precondition the battery in advance if you select to navigate to that charger. Note that Tesla har opened up about 80% or so of their chargers to all in Europe, so not all chargers will be available.

Here’s what I see in the US with a 2024 Maybe this was available before in the US, but my mental model is that Europe gets better stuff faster.
Here’s the finding on type-ahead. I noticed that it didn’t find nearby superchargers. These seem to match with only Magic Dock stations that I can reach with my range. It doesn’t seem to understand adapter stations. This explains why I didn’t see it but why European members might pay more attention. Our EU friends have standards
Interesting, if I keep typing, I get non-Tesla DC fast chargers.
Here’s the Apple Maps view:
I don’t see the available stations.
Google does it better if you add your adapter (Apple Maps is constantly crashing on me right now, so I can’t check the equivalent feature).
Then I can search and see availability

Maybe @Ford Motor Company could share some more info on this?

I'm confused. I can find no support in Apple Maps to show Tesla supercharger station availability. (I'm running iOS 26.1 on my iPhone 17 Pro.) Your images are all from Google Maps. Do you have evidence that Apple Map supports station availability? If so, can you please tell us how to access the feature? Thanks.Live availability info on Tesla Supercharger stalls are now showing in Google Maps and Apple Maps. They show the number of open stalls, charging speeds, and other supercharger site info.

The total chargers is not wrong, it excludes chargers that are out of order. Drove near a site today with 24 chargers, but Google indicated 12/20. The Tesla app showed 4 chargers out of order. The total in Google is the number of working chargers.

Alright, guess we can’t have good things, because this morning this feature does not work anymore. Why you do this to us @Ford Motor Company? Tesla chargers are and have been for the last handful years, open to all in Europe. Can you PLEASE adhere to this? It should not feel like my navigation and charge experience is degraded over time as a Ford owner. This worked until 2024, but you removed it for whole of Europe when America got access to some chargers in US.

I suspect that the difference was all the standards shenanigans the US went through. The EU never went through the shenanigans, our friend across the Atlantic always had CCS2 for all vehicles (both protocol and plug).
I’m on record moaning about the time it’s taking for Ford to update their nav for “adapter Tesla stations” in the US. I do want it to happen faster. I also want to acknowledge that the US has a problem that the EU didn’t have, due to a more muscular regulatory framework.
I don’t want to hold the apple accountable for failing to taste like an orange. But to strain the analogy, I want the apple pie faster.

It seems the factory nav updates are that are letting you pick having a Tesla adapter and route to Tesla superchargers is rolling out to 2024 F150 trucks now. So by some miracle, may see this in 1-3 months. It is incredible to me that this is taking almost 2 years to roll out. GM did it within a month.
Ford is so disappointing to me with progress, don’t think will buy another one.
