Any hints as to where?

I have no idea, but if I were a betting man, I would say in the Cambridge Smart Centre (HWY 24 & 401). It's right off the highway and surrounded by tons of stores/restaurants. Reminds me a little of the Kingston SC.

 

[wayner]

That would be a good location and you want it to be East of the Hwy 8 interchange so it is convenient for traffic going to K-W that will take that exit.

My money is on a certain retired former utility exec in the Cambridge area knowing something we don't...

Yep.

That is correct.

Here is the map showing where it will be:

Oh, you meant the next Supercharger, oops I don't know that one

Weren't some or all of these on the 2016 list? And what about the (by my count) 17 SCs in Ontario that still say coming in 2017? Are they now moved to 2018?

Here is the coming soon list:
Belleville
Cambridge
Concord
Hamilton
Markham
Mississauga
Mississauga - Meadowvale
North Bay
North York
Ottawa
Owen Sound
Pickering
Renfrew
Stardale/Hawkesbury
Sudbury
Toronto
Vaughan

They weren't "moved" to 2018. You forgot to correct for Elon Standard Time.

Yeah - like the new browser that was supposed to arrive in Dec 2016.

He mentioned that again recently.

Updated promise map with end-of-2018 Maine and some of the Maritimes

Good find - it shows the T-Can fully up and running. But I am getting more skeptical as they announced a ton of SCs for 2017 back in the spring and there has been very little progress on them, at least here in Eastern Canada.

310km from Truro, NS to Sydney, NS.
353km from Sydney, NS to Charlottetown, PE (via the ferry).
912km from Chanel-Port aux Basques, NL to Logy Bay, NL.
2657 km from Macdonalad, MB to Prince Rupert, BC.

I wouldn't call that "fully".

We wouldn't any way easily have been able to take our July vacation (NS and PE) in a Model 3, despite the additional planned Superchargers in ME, NB and NS.

 

[wayner]

The point is that once these are up and running you will be able to get across the country - I would say the only exception is really NL. You could make it from Truro to Sydney. The route from MB to BC that you mention is an alternate northern route for the Trans Canada with far fewer large cities, with the exception of S'toon and Edm.

It's a great signal of intention, and I'm really looking forward to seeing it complete.

But actual construction has been slow in coming, and so, I'm a little skeptical about the timing. I know... Tesla never misses deadlines.

Don't forget the route through Kapuskasing!

Seriously though the highway to Rupert is not commonly considered to be the "Trans-Canada Highway."

 

[Doug_G]

Wow, that's a massive expansion on previous targets.

The only thing is, there's a large number of Superchargers "by the end of 2017" that haven't appeared. In fact most of the 2017 Superchargers have not appeared. Yeah it's a "target", but when you've barely made a dent in the list and there's a little over three months left...

Ottawa still shows a 2017 target, but they've now added a 2018 Gatineau Supercharger.

If they actually ever build this network, it will be awesome.

Indeed, so far Elon misses his own deadlines/plans by about 2 years, so we should see these superchargers by the end of 2020
