Because it is still faster if I can skip one or two superchargers. I used to drive long hours nonstop. I can still do so if needed.

I would dive as you would normally, in my case I am on the faster side and I set cruise at 135, stop in Kingston for 15 mins and you will be fine. To lower your speed just doesn't add up in the long run (my 2cents)

I don't mind A&W, but my wife hates fast food, and it seems we always arrive at Comber around meal time.
Nice. How far of a walk is it?

According to EV trip planner you'll need 543 rated km for your 433 km drive with a starting 100% charge. This does not account for any head wind or wet road. In other words, charge in Kingston.
Peter's Kitchen is a 1km walk south of the Supercharger in Comber. I dropped the family off before plugging in and then we all walked to get the car after eating. Peters Kitchen - Comber, ON
That's really pushing it. You would have to drive below the speed limit to have any safety margin. I would not attempt it.
Also remember that we're coming into colder temperatures now. If it's getting down towards 0C you're going to start losing some range.

Unless that's you final destination, I wouldn't. The Cornwall charger is pretty far from the highway( equal to Lawrence from the 401). Speed up and stop at Kingston. The time is about the same.
I went Toronto to Montreal and back last week and on the way there I used the Kingston and Cornwall chargers and on the way back only did the Kingston charger.

Pretty sure that's right, we stayed multiple nights in the nearby hotel (great pool slide by the way!) and saw all of the charging bays in use at various times.
Woodstock / Houlton?
Has anyone done any prowling for permits for Woodstock NB / Houlton Maine? It is still on the Tesla Supercharger map for 2016 although I have my doubts this late in the year. I am kind of wondering if there is anything to be found on this. This is a pretty critical location for the Maritimes. Any news?

Add one year to whatever's on the map and you'll be about right. Sometimes, you will be disappointed when it ends up being two years after the posted year, but other times you will be pleasantly surprised when Tesla meets its posted goals.
Well, as a Maritimer living in South Carolina, let me chime in and say that Tesla just opened a supercharger in Columbia, SC with no blue dot on supercharge.info or other rumor. It was a huge, but welcome, surprise. Point is, you never know. I agree Woodstock is pretty critical. But what ever happened to Levis???

It has already been two years, because it was posted on the map back when the Rivière du Loup SC was posted. I figure it will be another Rivière du Loup and might get done by next fall but it will eventually come. When it does it truly will be very useful for getting to and from the Maritimes. I have made many trips now to Nova Scotia and each new SC expanding the network east is a lovely thing.
That is true, the projected New Brunswick site has been on the map since January 2015, but only when clicking on "2016". This is the image from then of "2015."
I believe Levis/Quebec is the only location still missing from it. However, if you include 2016 there was Ottawa, North Bay and Sudbury as well as Woodstock, NB.
Note that Montreal doesn't appear, though the two stalls at the Montreal Center were just waiting for utility hookup at the time.

The on again off again saga of the problems with the Port Hope SC should be known as " The Hope of Good Port" (Charging)!
The best route to NB for those travelling from Canada is still Magog->Bangor->[slow driving to as far as you can get]. :-(
Moncton is just within reach of the bigger battery packs, in the summer. There is a moderate amount of of level 2 charging in NB at hotels, and in Moncton in particular. From Moncton, with a full charge, any modern Tesla can get to Halifax, where there is chademo.
I charged at Port Hope last weekend. All stalls looked operational again.

Should Quebec ever separate from Canada, it will be a lot easier to get from Ontario to New Brunswick as we can charge in Cornwall and it will get us to Moncton easily within half an hour or so! Lol!

That is the way we came back to Ontario this August. Drove through some real moose country (literally... we had to stop for a moose once on the road) and totally misjudged in assuming that there would be a small motel between the Augusta, Maine Supercharger and Magog. Ended up getting into Magog and finding a hotel at about 3:00 am. Now with the new Bangor Supercharger would not have to go down to Augusta, I assume.
