Tesla Brings Supercharger Site Maps to Its App With Stall-Level Layouts and Live Occupancy

Tesla has put a more useful view of the Supercharger network in drivers’ pockets.

Supercharger Site Maps are now live in the latest Tesla app, giving owners a stall-level look at supported charging locations before they arrive.

The maps show more than a pin and an available-stall count. Drivers can inspect the site’s physical layout, see how traffic moves through it, identify individual charging stalls and check which spaces appear occupied.

That can save a surprising amount of confusion at large shopping centers, parking garages and charging plazas where the navigation pin gets you onto the property but not necessarily to the right entrance.

Tesla Charging demonstrated the feature in a short video:

Not a Tesla App reports that the mobile rollout begins with Tesla app version 4.61.0 and later. The phone view uses Tesla’s own overhead canvas to show charging stalls, parking spaces, lanes, vehicles and current availability after a driver selects a supported Supercharger.

The phone and car versions serve the same trip but behave differently. The in-vehicle map can be explored as a rotatable 3D scene, while the mobile map is a fixed overhead layout that drivers can zoom in and out.

The phone view is built to answer practical questions quickly, including the entrance, charger row, trailer-friendly stall and direction of approach.

Tesla introduced Site Maps in its 2025 Holiday Update as an in-car pilot at 18 locations in California and Texas.

The company’s mapping team later said it was adding more than 300 sites per week, and the coverage now extends across most U.S. Supercharger locations in the vehicle interface.

The mobile rollout adds one curious detail ahead of the car software. At supported locations, the phone app can display a dedicated Cybercab model instead of representing the autonomous two-seater as a generic vehicle.

That is mostly visual polish today, but it hints at the larger purpose of accurate site mapping.

A human driver can improvise after turning into the wrong aisle. A Robotaxi needs a reliable digital understanding of stall geometry, traffic flow and where charging equipment sits.

Tesla North independently confirmed that Tesla Charging’s September 18 demonstration shows individual stalls, occupied positions and availability inside the current app. The video moves from the broader road map into Tesla’s custom charging-site canvas, making the feature’s purpose clear without relying on a static release note.

The report also ties the phone rollout to Tesla’s earlier car-side expansion. That earlier work grew from a limited pilot to hundreds of newly mapped sites each week, creating the station geometry that can now be carried into mobile trip planning.

Moving the view beyond the dashboard matters because drivers can inspect the property before they are committed to an entrance or lane. It also gives passengers and non-Tesla owners using the charging network a clearer way to understand an unfamiliar site from the same app used to find and pay for charging.

Tesla has not published a complete count of mobile-enabled locations. It also has not said that every Site Map already available inside a vehicle is mirrored on both iOS and Android.

That limitation is worth keeping in mind during the rollout.

If a location still shows only the normal map pin, it does not necessarily mean the station is closed or missing. The richer site canvas may simply not be active there yet.

Tesla Support explains that the app already handles Trip Planner routing, charger discovery, payments, charging history and station details. Drivers can use the selected location’s information to find the entrance, check a gate code, identify a parking level and see pricing or congestion-fee rules.

Site Maps bring those separate pieces closer to the actual experience on the ground. Instead of arriving at a broad address and hunting for a bank of chargers, a driver can study the property layout and open-stall positions before making the final turn.

The upgrade should be especially useful at complicated mixed-use sites and for drivers towing trailers, where a wrong approach can mean circling a crowded lot or backing out of a dead end.

It is a modest app update compared with a new vehicle or faster charging hardware. But it solves a real problem that grows with the network: finding a charger is not the same thing as finding the right way into the charger.

Tesla’s latest app closes that last stretch of the trip.
