Tesla App Adds Live Supercharger Site Maps for All Owners
Version 4.61.0 removes hardware barriers by allowing Intel-based vehicle owners to view stall status on mobile devices.
Tesla has expanded its Supercharger Site Maps feature to the mobile application, allowing owners to preview station layouts and live stall availability directly from their phones.
What Happened
With the rollout of Tesla App version 4.61.0, users can now view site-specific maps for supported Supercharger locations. The feature replaces the standard street view with a detailed layout that displays stall positions, occupied bays, out-of-service posts, and a real-time count of open chargers. The map also identifies the specific Tesla model currently charging at each occupied stall. This mobile integration mirrors the in-vehicle Site Maps introduced in the 2025 Holiday Update, which initially piloted in California and Texas before spreading to most U.S. Superchargers.
Why It Matters
The mobile rollout eliminates a significant hardware limitation present in the in-car version. Previously, the richer 3D in-vehicle maps required AMD Ryzen infotainment hardware, excluding owners of older Intel-based Model 3 and Model Y vehicles. By moving the feature to the app, Tesla ensures that all owners, regardless of vehicle age or infotainment generation, can access this information. This allows drivers to assess congestion levels, locate ADA stalls, and plan their approach to avoid circling crowded lots, providing greater transparency before arrival.
The Bottom Line
The Site Maps feature provides a visual preview of Supercharger status but does not reserve stalls or alter Fast Charging mechanics. It serves as an informational tool to help owners select less congested sites and navigate unfamiliar locations more efficiently.
