Facility Overview

The Tesla Supercharger in Lindale, Texas, is strategically located at 17044 Interstate 20 West, situated on the grounds of the iconic Collin Street Bakery at Exit 556. This facility features an expansive, open-air surface parking lot equipped with dedicated high-speed DC fast-charging stalls designed primarily for Tesla electric vehicles, alongside ample general parking bays. Because the facility is entirely open-air with no overhead structures or low-hanging clearance bars, it easily accommodates passenger sedans, crossovers, full-size electric pickup trucks, and high-profile SUVs. Drivers towing travel trailers or utility haulers should exercise caution, as individual charging stalls are configured for standard back-in parking, requiring unhitching if standard pull-through space is unavailable.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Conveniently situated directly along the busy Interstate 20 corridor in Smith County, this charging plaza is an ideal comfort stop for regional and cross-country motorists traveling between the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex and Shreveport. Directly on site is the famous Collin Street Bakery, where drivers can step inside within seconds to enjoy freshly baked goods, gourmet fruitcakes, a full-service deli, espresso, and clean indoor amenities. Additional nearby destinations include:

• The Cannery Lindale: Located roughly 3 miles north in central Lindale, this historic packing facility turned entertainment district features live music stages, boutique shops, and local dining options.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Accessing the Supercharger is exceptionally straightforward for freeway drivers. From Interstate 20 (Eastbound or Westbound), take Exit 556 for US-69 toward Lindale/Tyler and follow the south frontage road directly into the well-marked commercial parking entrance of Collin Street Bakery. The wide entrance aprons allow for seamless entry and exit even during peak holiday travel periods. While this rural-suburban East Texas junction is car-centric without direct municipal light rail or bus connections, its immediate positioning along I-20 and US-69 ensures rapid transit flow north into Lindale and south into Tyler.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Charging pedestals operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week; however, indoor amenities such as restrooms, the deli, and bakery shopping observe standard daytime and early evening retail hours. To avoid Tesla idle fees, monitor your charging progress via the Tesla mobile app and relocate your vehicle promptly once the session reaches your target battery limit. During peak holiday travel weekends, charging demand can rise, so aiming for early morning or midday stops can help ensure immediate stall availability.
