We were staying in Dildo Run when all this was going on. On our way from Port Au Basques to St John's and back. Superchargers would have been niceEven St John's to Dildo is 100km.
ArgentiaRelatively small population, most of them in the are of St John's, and the EV market isn't very strong, so not a priority to get in and serve the island's population.
For visitors, to drive a Tesla to Newfoundland you first need to drive to North Sydney, NS.
It's 419km from the Supercharger in Aulac, NB to the ferry in North Sydney, NS. So Tesla first needs to build its planned Superchargers (see their findus page) in the New Glasgow, NS and Auld's Cove, NS areas.
Then you need to catch a ferry, year round to Port aux Basques, NL, or summer (and an extra 105 per car and 65 per person each way) to Argentina, NL.
Argentina, NL to St John's, NL is 131.6km.
Port aux Basques, NL to St John's, NL is 1080km
So, to provide reasonable service Tesla will need to:
- build the planned Superchargers in Nova Scotia
- build a bunch of Superchargers between Port aux Basques, NL and St John's, NL.
Not saying it'll never happen, but you have to be realistic that it's not going to happen quickly, it'd happen _after_ connecting Cape Breton, NS, and the multiple Superchargers required properly to cover the whole of the TCH in Newfoundland, would probably make it a low priority.
Assuming they eventually do it, I would expect them to work west from St John's, NL to start with the most populous area first.
Now I have to go back and edit my post to stick an apostrophe in St JohnsArgentia
As the crow flies or is that road distance?Even St John's to Dildo is 100km.
Huh? The drive across the island is over 800km.As the crow flies or is that road distance?
Kinda suspect Tesla planners think a full charge will get around NF so there’s not much need of Superchargers there.
Huh? The drive across the island is over 800km.
Nothing new on the supercharge info spreadsheet. supercharge.infoAny update on the New Glasgow or Aulds Cove superchargers in NS? Broken ground yet?
There’s been no confirming evidence at either site yet. Odds are there won’t be until the bulk of the COVID restrictions are lifted.Any update on the New Glasgow or Aulds Cove superchargers in NS? Broken ground yet?
It already was delayed to 2021 unofficially. This just made it more apparent.Just a random thought, if people who enter the Atlantic bubble need to quarantine for 14 days, how is a Tesla employee post to come and organize supercharger installations?!?
looks like Atlantic is delayed till 2021.
Are you still visiting your family while living in Maine? If so, how?So sad to hear this. Because of the uncertainty IRT Auld's Cove, we broke down and bought a CHAdeMO adapter. I simply was not comfortable visiting family located throughout Cape Breton without access to charging beyond L2.
Any business can submit a workplan to the jurisdictions that indicate how the employees can work with correct protocols to ensure no transmission. Cody has to do that just to get across from NS to NB to work on our car. Same is true from the US, if you have business to do you can apply to cross and do work so long as you're being careful. WorkSafe NB has a plan you can find on their website I believe.Just a random thought, if people who enter the Atlantic bubble need to quarantine for 14 days, how is a Tesla employee post to come and organize supercharger installations?!?

Sadly, not at this time. With dual citizenship and active domiciles in both countries, technically we could probably cross the border into Canada at least once on the premise that we would be returning home. However, we would have to quarantine for fourteen days and then remain in Nova Scotia indefinitely--casual travel between Atlantic Canada provinces is currently prohibited and it is doubtful that we could easily re-enter the US. Our kids are all living in the US, so we decided to hunker down at our home in Maine until the borders open back up. I bought the CHAdeMO so we can make the trip as soon as the borders reopen. IMHO the borders will open long before Auld's Cove is completed.Are you still visiting your family while living in Maine? If so, how?
Atlantic bubble now allows "free movement" between all 4 provinces, just slow downs at the crossings......casual travel between Atlantic Canada provinces is currently prohibited
Possibly easier to move south than the trip north, though if you have proof you have property in the region the north trip isn't difficult. There's no provincial officials at the international border, they are relying on CBSA to do that.and it is doubtful that we could easily re-enter the US.
LOL, that depends on two independent variables, one of which includes the current occupant of the White House, and the other the timeliness of the supercharger buildout team... two truly independent variables.IMHO the borders will open long before Auld's Cove is completed.
