San Marcos is home to the first Tesla supercharger station in Texas. The station is discreetly located behind the San Marcos Premium Outlets. Tesla manufactures electric cars such as the Model S. The cars are pretty expensive, though -- starting at about 60-thousand dollars. The Model S has the capability of traveling 150 miles with only a 20-minute charge. Tesla car owners are able to use the service free of charge and can shop at the outlets while they wait. The company says it plans to open at least five supercharger stations across Texas by the end of the year.
