How do you manage to drive so much between Superchargers?

Not sure I understand the question. I've been to a lot of unique superchargers because I've taken many trips in order to visit what's out there. I love the call of the open road when I have the chance--I've hit 47 states and 4 provinces, I think. I've had well over a thousand supercharger visits and my work a day life usually adds a few dozen miles each day. It all adds up after a bit over 4 years.

That's on my bucket list. Driving around the US seeing all the beautiful things. Powered by Superchargers

In case anyone is interested, I blew up Tesla's map to show a bit for detail on the long routes. Download, if you wish.

with all due respect, the map represents a wish list and while some of these locations will be built many are just a dream.

Well, while there's a lot of action at the top of the board, please welcome @pdxrajiv as the newest member of the Century Club!
Because more people are wearing suspenders these days, we've regretfully suspended (heh heh) the production of belt buckles

The route across Canada looks exciting. I'd love to drive that once it is done.

Only 47 states? :-0!

If you want to be added to the wiki, you're going to have to list them out by the sites.
Looks like you'd be pretty far up the list.

North Dakota doesn't have any. Yet.

Big week for the Century Club.
@ColBatGuano just punched his ticket.

Let me take this opportunity to remind everyone where we are and how far we've come THIS YEAR.
@Bighorn started the year on top of the leader board at 258 sites.
@NKYTA leap-frogged him on an epic road trip that ended a few handfuls of chargers short of 300. Bighorn later took the lead back, the first to break 300 and finally landing at 352.
@PLUS EV wasn't even on the board yet and now he's in the top spot, having just reached 358. And he's still on the opposite coast, 20,000 miles under his belt and no end in sight.
NKYTA's on the road right now in the Oregon wilderness, needing one more to to get to the 300 mark.
@JSergeant is out there right now as well, on his own multi-month quest to hit every charger in the US before he's done, and he's just a little short of 300 in what used to be the supercharger island of Texas.
If you pull into a charger and see a bug-covered car that looks like it can use a little TLC, seek out the owner and ask if it's one of these gents. Then stop and chat for a while and learn something. You'll be witnessing durability, commitment and an adventurous spirit that this car draws out in many owners - but these few are the top of the class - currently.

multi-month quest to hit every charger in the US

Has anyone done any analysis on how feasible that actually is these days?

I'd think that with the current rate of expansion, there's significant risk that just as you are closing in on your last location another one opens on the other side of the country (and if you turn round and head there, another one opens somewhere else...).

Construction is likely to continue - even if 'coverage' is achieved for all routes, as the number of cars on the road increases more locations are needed for volume, as we are seeing now eg. in California.

So the club of people who can say "I had charged at all US superchargers open on that day" is likely to be a very select membership. It's probably still just about possible to join...

I think it will be mighty tough to hit all the USA Supercharging Stations once the ones on O'ahu and Maui open!

Yeah hitting every supercharger is impossible from a practical standpoint. I suppose if you had a crystal ball and knew exactly which superchargers would be completed and when, and you tried to complete it during the lull a few months ago, you might have been able to do it.

I know during that time I had completed every supercharger in the Pacific and Mountain time zones with the exception of 3 in the northwest which is my home base and I easily could have hit those, but I just saved them for later since I knew I'd have other trips that would be passing by eventually. Even on that trip the Truth or Consequences supercharger opened when I had already gone through NM. I think I was in Vegas at the time and heading home. If I really wanted to, I could have turned around and hit that one and then hit the 3 in the northwest and I would have had the western US completed for a moment. But yes, completing the entire US would be damn near impossible unless you knew they didn't plan on opening any new ones for a month or something.
