audi and porsche owners gain access to tesla superchargers

After a long wait, Audi and Porsche owners will gain access to Tesla Superchargers across the U.S. and Canada tomorrow, but the rollout isn’t as straightforward as others have been. Owners won’t have access to all the features and conveniences out of the gate, but the automakers say the process will become better over time.

Audi and Porsche are giving the program a soft launch, so there will be a few annoyances for drivers at first, mainly related to the automakers’ EV apps. Neither brand’s owners will be able to control charging sessions within their respective apps. Additionally plug-and-charge will be unavailable at launch, though both features are promised soon.

All EVs from the companies can use Superchargers, except for the Audi Q4 e-Tron, and there’s no indication of if or when it’ll gain access. Neither automaker equips EVs with Tesla NACS charging ports at the factory, though the 2026 Porsche Taycan and Macan EV are expected to gain the feature. Owners of 2025 model-year Taycans and Macan EVs may be eligible for a free adapter.

While the number of public charging locations continues to grow, access to Tesla Superchargers gives owners tens of thousands of additional charging locations across the country.

Porsche and Audi should have avoided this lest they be seen as supporting Nazis

Andarris Here in the Toronto area I haven't seen a 2006-2012 with intact rocker pannels for over two years now. I presume everywhere around the Great Lakes is the same ? They were super cheap dhring the first two years of the pandemic - could get one with less than 85K for around $6500 certified or a little higher mileage for $5000. Glad I skipped it, even in 2021 some of the 10's &11's were displaying corosion like you'd see on a 7 year older Impala, Camry or Accord. Also the mid-model switch to EPS made me balk at the few clean ones I found.

Michael S6 The 3 Amigos better hope that the oil spike is short lived as 4-5 dollar a gallon gas would put a damper on their cash cows especially "Ford's strategic shift" of killing off the escape/Lincoln cousin. Most other automakers have a full line of vehicles with much better full economy. GM is sucking air and its Cadillac devision is mostly EV and geriatric line up of ICE cars and SUV's that were supposed to be phased out this year. The expensive gas may push shoppers toward EV but GM's horrible EV reliability is a barrier.
Tane94 I read the GM press release about first quarter sales 2026 vs 2025 and Buick is getting its butt kicked:Buick Total* 41,654 61,822 -32.6 The future is bleak for Buick.
