Tesla has a possible fix for chaotic charging lines

Tesla is piloting a digital "waitlist" feature at five Supercharger stations in California and New York that lets drivers join a virtual queue, see how many cars are ahead, and receive estimated wait times. The feature — visible on Tesla infotainment and available to non‑Tesla vehicles via the Tesla app — aims to reduce disputes and create a clear single‑file queue at busy chargers. Tesla operates the largest fast‑charging network in the US with more than 3,000 Supercharger stations and roughly 40,000 connectors; the move could improve customer experience and throughput at congested sites and may encourage wider Supercharger adoption by competitors’ EVs. Early reaction is mixed: some owners see it as helpful at busy locations, while others view it as unnecessary complexity for typically short waits.
