It's definitely been a thing in the US for a long time, not sure about the rest of the world. Ford and Rivian were the first to gain access, then GM a couple days ago. Hyundai, Nissan, Lucid, etc still can't charge at superchargers in the US right now.
This location was $0.44/kwh, another one nearby was $0.62/kwh. The Electrify America station near me is usually $0.45/kwh.
It just rolled out to GM a couple days ago.
All the Tesla app knows is that I have a Chevy Bolt and I have an adapter, it doesn't seem to care what adapter it is.
Threw this together to explain the issue, not sure if all Tesla stations are like this. Here's how the chargers are supposed to be used by Teslas:
I can use the charger to my left like this, but then I fuck over that spot while leaving an unused charger unreachable.
If I really squeeze close to the chargers, I can use the left one, but then I fuck up the spot on the other side unless it's another car with the same charger location as me.
Notes on my first charge at a Tesla station:
Holy shit these cables are short, I'm lucky that this stall with a more accessible charger opened up.
The first two chargers I tried didn't work.
The Tesla app sucks, I had to restart it twice before it let me start charging.
I'm using the A2Z Typhoon Pro adapter, works great!
Can we reschedule? I have plans tonight
I would love to see what someone could do now in the same vein.
Genki is finally making a new TXR, got announced a few days ago.

I have a work-in-progress list here, strictly games I would consider "must play" in the genre. Notably missing the Ridge Racer and Tokyo Xtreme Racer games because I haven't played enough of them to have an opinion.

Mostly arcade and simcade racers though. If you're interested in sims:
For modding, Assetto Corsa is basically the modern rFactor.
For offline racing, Automobilista and Raceroom have pretty solid AI. Note: Raceroom's pricing model is dumb, kind of like iRacing just without the subscription.
For career mode, Project CARS 2 (not 3) is basically the only sim that even tries.
For online racing, ACC and iRacing are unmatched.
For rally, you're already playing DR2. Richard Burns Rally is also shockingly good for its age.
I hate Tesla and especially the Cybertruck as much as the next guy, but this was a highway test and that sounds like a completely normal result.
I own a Bolt EV which is rated for 259 miles of range. On the highway, that's more like ~220. That sounds bad, but the other side of it is that I get ~300 miles of range during my normal work commutes through the city. This is just how EVs are, the estimated range is based on a mixed test. EVs are backwards compared to ICE, you'll get ~20% less range than the EPA estimate driving highway speeds and ~20% more doing purely city driving.
I know they’re probably joking, but the Steam forums are so generally unhinged that I wouldn’t be surprised if this person is serious.
A 10% to 80% charge is about an hour.
