Oh, ok. that is better then. but I really hope Tesla can build out to PEI. Am I too greedy?

Any Superchargers in Canada are welcome. It shows that they are serious about building out the network and should give hope to other areas that are perceived to need them more. I wonder if the team that did this Barry build are the ones slated to put up the Owen Sound ones?
Well, some owners I know asked whether they can go to Gaspe QC..... or I may add Yartmouth NS
I've moved most of the posts related to the 2nd charger in Barrie to Supercharger - Barrie, ON (2nd site on Bayfield St)

I remember when you were consolidating all the Supercharger threads into this thread to avoid a proliferation of discussions
You can easily get to Yarmouth, NS. Just take the ferry from Portland, ME
Gaspe' is more of a reach, but it's doable from RdL in a S100D. Just need to drive slow on a dry summer day and hold your breath!

If you are taking requests, can we please stop flooding the Canada forum with a whole load of supercharger threads.
They are very relevant to most of us so they should go somewhere - that is why I suggested a Supercharger subforum for Canada, just like for California.

Right now, even with the lack of Superchargers, it's faster to drive to St John, NB and take the ferry to Digby, NS.
Next ferry from Portland, ME to Yarmouth, NS will probably be end of May 2018.
Gaspe is easy to get to if you have access to a Chademo adapter ...
I was very skeptical about SC construction in Canada this year but it is now amazing how quickly this has taken off in Ontario. We now have the following confirmed to be under construction: Barrie-Bayfield, Sudbury, Owen Sound and Markham. There are also strong hints that Ottawa, Hawksbury and Vaughan will be under way soon. Hopefully they do build the bulk of what is on the 2017 list.

Do we have suspected locations for any of the other ones like Pickering, Vaughan, Concord that we expect this year?
If I were to guess, Pickering Town Center seems sort of the right type of place, being right on the 401 and with a gargantuan parking lot.

I too would like them in a sub-forum. Most of the supercharger threads are regionally specific. Threads on Ontario and Quebec superchargers are about as relevant to people in BC and Alberta as are threads on superchargers in North Carolina and Germany. If I plan on travelling to those areas, I can look for threads in a sub-forum. When they are in the main Canada forum, another thread on another supercharger that many are not likely to visit amounts to just more noise. There might be a valid claim that most of the Canada forum users are from Ontario, but Ontario is not Canada. Please move threads specific to a unique supercharger location out of the Canada forum and into an appropriate regional forum.
That makes sense. And no point in subdividing Canada into multiple sections since some of the issues are specific to Canada. You can point out that this is, by far, the busiest North American regional forum with 50% more posts and 15% more threads than the second busiest forum, California.
Canada and California have similar populations - of people. Definitely not Teslas.
Obviously people here are keeners!

Exactly - but there are also Canadian specific issues - like getting lower amperage on charge cables.
