Whoa, I jumped the gun here. I'll check with Control Central on 'doable route' vs 'official route'.
I did discover that HawthorneCA SC is only ~3 miles due east from El Segundo Beach. But on the East Coast WashDC is 124 miles west of Rehoboth Beach, DE so doable in an MS85 with a bit of care. 'Coast to Coast' is a valid concept.
Someone mentioned that CranberryPA SC is not needed since an MS85 can make it to Somerset SC without assistance. Likewise I can't comment on HagerstownPA.
Moab is not needed since Blanding > Grand Jctn is only 174 miles via UT128 shortcut. But how does one get from the Coast to Blanding? (Rhetorical question, don't answer).

My point, that I have made elsewhere, is that for a truly useful and fun Supercharger Network, you need to be able to drive without having to worry efficiency and should not have to charge beyond 80% (slow and boring). That being said, I drove Grand Junction to Blanding on Wednesday via UT128. I did have to charge for 1:15 at a pretty boring mall, then drove on I-70 at 65 mph when the speed limit was 75. Luckily, with the price of diesel, I was in a group of semi's going the same speed for efficiency. On the bright side, I had forgotten how beautiful UT128 into Moab is; I drove it during sunset, and red rock was amazing!

While it may not be the true Golden Spike, Cheyenne is, to those of us on the Front Range, our Get Out Of Jail Free card. I exchanged phone numbers with the lead electrician at Cheyenne yesterday. He promised to send a text when the Supercharger goes live. We shall see; it ought to happen Monday, but it's out of Tesla's hands at this point. If it does go live on Monday, wycolo, I'll meet you there on Tuesday, as well as anyone else who wants to make the jaunt.
Could not agree more. Hopefully, Tuesday will be a day to meet for a Cheyenne charge and lunch and discuss what metal is appropriate. :wink:
