Tesla is testing a new system at its Supercharger stations. The goal is to stop drivers from skipping ahead in line. While this doesn’t happen often, when it does, it causes problems.
The test is being done inside the company right now. Max de Zegher, who leads Tesla’s Supercharger team in North America, shared an update on X. He said they are trying out a “virtual queue” system. Here’s what he posted:
“Pressure testing virtual queuing with the awesome @TeslaCharging teams, including for corner cases & bad actors. Public pilots next.”
This system will likely show each car’s place in line on the in-car screen. That should make it clear who’s next. It could stop arguments and reduce confusion.
Tesla hinted at this feature in the past. Now it’s being tested with employees. If all goes well, Tesla will open a pilot version for public use at certain Supercharger sites.
Tesla’s charging network is one of the biggest in the U.S. It’s growing fast and now allows other EV brands to charge too. That means more cars at each station and more chances for problems. This queue system could help make the process smoother.
The company hasn’t said when it will roll out the feature more widely. But early signs suggest it’s getting closer.
