Tesla launches its solution to rare but relevant Supercharger problem
Elon Musk Trump’s invite for Elon just reshuffled Tesla’s big Signature Delivery Event Tesla rescheduled its final Model S farewell to May 20 after Musk joined Trump in China. Published 10 hours agoon May 11, 2026 Tesla has rescheduled its Model S and Model X Signature Edition delivery event to Wednesday, May 20, 2026, after abruptly calling off the original May 12 celebration. The event will take place at Tesla’s factory at 45500 Fremont Boulevard in Fremont, California, the same location where the Model S first rolled off the line in 2012. Invitees received a follow-up email asking them to reconfirm attendance and download a new QR code ticket, with Tesla noting that all travel and accommodation expenses remain the buyer’s responsibility. The reason behind the original cancellation came into focus the same day it was announced. President Trump invited Elon Musk, Apple’s Tim Cook, BlackRock’s Larry Fink, Boeing’s Kelly Ortberg, and executives from Goldman Sachs, Blackstone, Citigroup, and Meta to join his trip to China this week for a summit with President Xi Jinping. The agenda covers trade, artificial intelligence, export controls, Taiwan, and the Iran war, following weeks of escalating friction between Washington and Beijing over AI technology, sanctions, and rare earth exports. Trump wrote on Truth Social, “I am very much looking forward to my trip to China, an amazing Country, with a Leader, President Xi, respected by all.” Tesla launches 200mph Model S “Gold” Signature in invite-only purchase The vehicles at the center of all this are the last Model S and Model X units Tesla will ever build. Priced at $159,420 each, the 250 Model S and 100 Model X Signature Edition units come finished in Garnet Red with a one-year no-resale agreement, giving Tesla right of first refusal if the owner decides to sell. As Teslarati reported, the Model S defined Tesla’s early identity as a serious luxury automaker, and the Fremont factory line that built it is now being converted to manufacture Optimus humanoid robots. Musk’s inclusion in the China delegation drew attention given his very public relationship with Trump, and the invitation signals the two have moved past and past grievances. Trump originally brought Musk on to lead the Department of Government Efficiency following his inauguration, and despite a sharp public dispute in mid-2025, the two have appeared together repeatedly in recent months. A seat on the China trip, the most diplomatically consequential v...

Tesla 2026-05-12T16:30:23.250Z Tesla is piloting a digital "waitlist feature" at five Supercharger locations in the US. The feature helps drivers know who gets dibs next on available plugs — and how long they must wait. Without the queue, EV owners typically rely on vague parking lot etiquette to decide who is next. Tesla wants EV drivers to wait their turn. In a Monday post on X, Tesla's charging division said it was piloting a digital waitlist system at five Supercharger locations in California and New York. The feature allows drivers to join a virtual queue when all charging stalls are occupied.We're now testing a new waitlist feature at 5 Supercharger sites. Share feedback through the Tesla app to help us make it better. - Los Gatos, CA - Los Gatos Boulevard- Mountain View, CA - El Monte Avenue- San Francisco, CA - Lombard Street- San Jose, CA - Saratoga Avenue-… pic.twitter.com/epTVzpJxgW— Tesla Charging (@TeslaCharging) May 11, 2026 Without a formal queue system, EV drivers at busy charging stations often rely on informal parking lot etiquette to determine who plugs in next. Unlike gas stations, where drivers typically wait directly behind an open pump, EV charging layouts can make it less obvious which vehicle is next in line.Tesla's feature effectively creates a digital single-file line at crowded charging stations.A Tesla owner shared a video on X showing a new "Join Waitlist" button appearing on their car's infotainment screen. After entering the queue, drivers could see how many cars were ahead of them and receive estimated wait times for an available charging stall. The drivers said other EV owners can still bypass the queue, though the system will notify users that they're skipping ahead.Tesla reposted that video.The company also confirmed in a separate comment that the waitlist is also available for Supercharger-capable non-Tesla vehicles through the automaker's app.Not all Tesla owners are convinced the feature is necessary.Leslie Snipes, a Tesla Model 3 owner, told Business Insider that wait times at Superchargers are usually manageable and that drivers can often find another nearby station rather than wait more than 15 minutes."I could maybe see it work at extremely busy chargers where there are constant wait times," Snipes said. "But for most st...
