    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 nice:(

    I think Tesla should start off in NL with a soft run, and then diversify the locations over time

    1st run:
    Mountainside General Store - Doyles NL (6)
    Deer Lake Big Stop - Deer Lake NL (6)
    Canadian Tire - Grand Falls-Windsor NL (6)
    Canadian Tire - Clarenville NL (6)
    Canadian Tire - Mount Pearl NL (8)

    2nd run:
    Canadian Tire - Stephenville NL (4)
    Eddy’s Restaurant - South Brook NL (6)
    Gander Mall - Gander NL (6)
    Irving Oil - Whitbourne NL (6)

    Otherwise, ditch Clarenville and put in the Goobers Big Stop and the Blackmore Gas Station.

    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.

    Really appreciate all this discussion. I am going to be there in under a month(NL), and am literally flying naked. With all the recent storms. I am trying to figure out the charging infrastructure at Channel-Port aux Basques then continuing to highway one to St. John's. If anyone feels inclined please PM so thread can stay on topic. I can see plugshare, but not often updated.

    If you're worried buy/borrow a chademo adapter to give yourself more options
    I believe if you're a member of the TeslaOwnersClub.ca you can borrow the adapter for free - at least the Ontario chapter

    Tesla Owners Club – Ontario

    I'm personally not a member but others in the "Tesla Owners of Ottawa" facebook group are

    Any 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.

    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.

    It already was delayed to 2021 unofficially. This just made it more apparent. :(

    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.

    Are you still visiting your family while living in Maine? If so, how?

    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.

    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.

    Atlantic bubble now allows "free movement" between all 4 provinces, just slow downs at the crossings...

    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.

    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.

    I sent a note to plugshare as it has the Lincoln and Aulac superchargers marked as 120KW. I have witnessed both of these charging in the 130s. Either they have been upgraded to 150s or perhaps the first people testing them only had cars capable of taking 120? Not sure, either way, they are definitely now 150s. I have a feeling this is also the case for Enfield and St.Leonard as both of those are also marked as 120. If anyone is using these chargers soon make sure to take note and update plugshare accordingly.
