Tesla has added Supercharger site maps to its mobile app, giving owners a visual layout of charging stations before they even pull in. The official Tesla Charging account confirmed the rollout on September 18, and the feature is available now in the latest version of the app.
What exactly is a Supercharger site map?
It's a visual layout of a specific Supercharger location — showing stall positions, entry points, and how the site is organized. Rather than arriving at an unfamiliar station and figuring out the layout on the fly, you can now see the physical configuration of the site directly in the Tesla app before or during your trip.
Is this different from what's already in the car's navigation?
Yes. As @wholemars noted, site maps were previously only viewable on the in-car display. The app update brings that same information to your phone, which is useful for planning stops when you're away from the car — or for passengers who want to scope out the layout while the driver focuses on the road.
Did this feature exist before in any form?
According to background reporting, a 3D Supercharger site maps pilot began in late 2025, initially covering a limited set of locations. What's new now is the broader rollout through the Tesla app, making the feature accessible to owners across the network rather than a handful of pilot sites.
Where do I find it in the app?
Open the Tesla app and navigate to a Supercharger location — either through the charging tab or by tapping a station in the route planner. If your app is updated to the latest version and the site map is available for that location, it should appear within the station detail view. If you don't see it immediately, check that you're running the current app version and try a few different Supercharger locations, as coverage may still be expanding across the full network.
Does this work for all Supercharger locations?
Not necessarily all of them at launch. Site map availability typically rolls out station by station as Tesla adds the layout data. High-traffic and newer stations tend to get coverage first. Expect the library of mapped locations to grow over the coming weeks.
For owners who regularly plan long-distance trips, this is a quiet but genuinely useful addition — the kind of detail that makes a charging stop feel less like a logistical unknown. Keep an eye on your app's charging section as Tesla continues filling in the map. For more updates on the charging network, we'll be tracking coverage as it expands.
