Can a Tesla Semi Charge on the East Coast Now?

Tesla listed its first East Coast Megacharger for the Semi on Oct. 7: eight stalls in Conley, Georgia, on the southeast edge of Atlanta. Tesla has not posted a price, a charge time or who is allowed to plug in.

Can a Tesla Semi charge on the East Coast now? Yes, at one Tesla Megacharger so far. Tesla Charging posted “New Tesla Megacharger: Conley, GA (8 stalls)” at 8:55 p.m. ET on Oct. 7, 2026, and the Tesla Semi account called it the “First Megacharger on the East Coast.” Tesla has not said which Semi operators can use it, what a session costs, or how much power this site delivers.

Key facts

  • Where: Conley, Georgia, about 8 miles southeast of downtown Atlanta.
  • Size: 8 stalls, per Tesla Charging.
  • Hardware: Tesla rates a Megacharger post at up to 1.2 MW, with each cabinet shared by 2 posts.
  • Claim: Tesla Semi calls it the first Megacharger on the East Coast.
  • Not published: Price, hours, site power, charge times and access rules.

What Tesla announced

Tesla Charging, the company’s charging account on X, posted the Conley site with two photos and a link to its Find Us map listing. The post does not give a street address, a price per kWh or hours.

Minutes later, Tesla charging executive Max de Zegher replied: “First east coast Megacharger!” Tesla Semi quoted the post just after midnight ET on Oct. 8 with the same claim.

The earlier Megacharger openings we could find were all in the West. Electrek reported in March that Tesla opened its first customer-facing site in Ontario, California, and Drive Tesla Canada listed the other two at Tesla sites in Lathrop, California, and Sparks, Nevada. We found no report of an earlier Tesla Megacharger on the East Coast.

Where it is

Conley is an unincorporated community in Clayton and DeKalb counties, at Atlanta’s southeast corner. Site plans shared on Tesla Motors Club put the Megacharger on a truck-parking lot on Rock Cut Road, just south of I-285. Tesla has not confirmed that address, so use the Find Us link to navigate.

East Coast here means the region, not the shoreline. Conley is in metro Atlanta, a long way from the I-95 corridor that runs along the coast.

How much power

Tesla’s Semi Charging for Business page rates the hardware, not this site:

  • Megacharger post: 1.2 MW max output, 1,500 A continuous, 0–1,000 VDC, MCS 3.2.
  • Megacharger cabinet: Up to 1,200 kW, shared by 2 posts.

So do not read 8 stalls as 9.6 MW at once. On Tesla’s spec, two trucks on one cabinet split up to 1,200 kW. A post reaches 1.2 MW only when it has that cabinet to itself.

Site ratings can also come in under the hardware. Tesla’s Ontario, California, Megacharger was listed at 750 kW when it opened, Electrek reported. Tesla Charging’s Conley post gives no kilowatt figure.

The same Tesla page says, “With up to 1.2 MW of power, Megacharger can add up to 60% of range in 30 minutes.” That is Tesla’s product claim for the hardware. It is not a measured Conley session, and Tesla has not posted one.

Who can plug in

Tesla has not said. The Conley post is a listing on Tesla’s public map, but it does not state whether every Tesla Semi customer can charge there, how sessions are billed, or whether other MCS trucks can use it. When Ontario opened in March, Teslarati and Electrek reported it was open to Tesla Semi customers. Tesla has not made the same statement about Conley.

Passenger Teslas cannot use it. Megacharger posts use the MCS connector built for the Semi. A Model 3, Model Y or Cybertruck still charges at a Supercharger.

This comes two weeks after Tesla started high-volume Semi deliveries from its Nevada plant the week of Sept. 24.

What fleet operators should do

If you run or have ordered a Tesla Semi in the Southeast, start here:

  1. Open the Find Us listing before you route a truck to Conley.
  2. Ask your Tesla Semi contact whether your account can charge at Conley and how sessions are billed.
  3. Plan for shared power, because two trucks on one cabinet split up to 1,200 kW on Tesla’s spec.
  4. Log your own session times before you build schedules around 60% in 30 minutes.
  5. Keep depot charging in the plan, because Tesla has not dated a second East Coast site.

What Tesla did not say

  • Tesla did not post a price for a Conley session.
  • Tesla did not say who can charge there.
  • Tesla did not post a site power rating or a charge time for Conley.
  • Tesla did not claim all eight stalls can run at 1.2 MW at once.
  • Tesla did not give a date for the next East Coast Megacharger.
