That's cool. I had no clue. Thanks!

Where's the kidney? :)

BTW, I've been doing ground surveys around Denver, and it's amazing what you find out when you're on the ground. It's also amazing what you don't find out from aerial imagery, and you can often tell when people do "armchair mapping" as OSM puts it, because they get stuff wrong that would be obvious if you were on the ground.

supercharge.info has pretty good info overall, but there are gaps. The main problem has been lat/lon, and the reason that's mostly wrong is they add a location when they first find out about a new charging station. They can get away with that because they're not actually editing OSM; they're just using it as a basemap. They don't have a formal process in place to track it, so when a station gets built and it's at a different lat/lon, nobody checks to see until someone like me comes back later, takes the time to get the lat/lon correct for OSM, then flags the supercharge.info team, who then updates their lat/lon. So the bulk editor guy didn't know this, and he didn't even come to the place where most of this Supercharger activity happens. If he had, we would have told him, "Whatever you do, don't use the lat/lon from supercharge.info!"

We are still cleaning up that mess and probably will be cleaning for another year.

The DWG (Data Working Group) got involved and the bulk import author got upset and basically packed up all his toys and went home.

Looks good. Yes, we're lacking aerial imagery there at the new Rove Charging Center. It's an interesting situation regarding licensing. Starting with the teslamotorsclub.com forum, I and others will post info from city and county building permits, news reports, plugshare, wherever. We'll also take photos of charging stations at various stages of construction and post them there. Then, the supercharge.info team takes that and plops a pin (not a way or relation) in their database, which uses OSM as a basemap. supercharge.info gave permission to OSM to use its info, and on 2025-06-22 a bulk import from supercharge.info into OSM was done. It was half-baked and added a lot of bogus data to OSM including: 1) overwriting good lat/lon with wrong lat/lon 2) creating duplicate stations 3) making L2 Tesla Destination Chargers into Tesla Superchargers 4) adding some bogus info that didn't even come from supercharge.info. I was the first OSM user to flag this and the discussion didn't go well. Read the whole saga at: https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/bulk-import-of-tesla-superchargers-in-the-united-states/131561

That wasn't clear. Please retain [ name= Tesla Supercharger ] and use branch for the location name, like [ branch=San Jose, CA - Lincoln Avenue ]. This is the way Tesla names the stations on their website.

@stillhart be careful that you delete the new node/way/relation because I've seen a few duplicates where the old one was delete, which loses the history.

Also, please don't rename them "City Name Supercharger" and leave the name as "Tesla Supercharger". The location belongs in the branch, which I've been adding. It's like banks. Chase Bank is Chase Bank at all branches, but each branch is named for the location.
