Yes, Cottonwood, the junction of Utah 36 and I-80 does have some amenities within a short distance from I-80. From Tooele to Green River via Price on US6 would be doable in spring through fall in an 85, but not during the winter and certainly not with a 60. Those drivers would have to detour to Nephi for a charge. Model S85 could avoid Richfield and make Green River directly via US50, but S60 drivers would have to charge in Richfield as well.
My two cents for Supercharger locations near cities like Salt Lake City: This town is a convergence for east-west travelers along I-80, north-south travelers along I-15, Pacific Northwest travelers using I-84, and others using US40 to and from Dinosaur. I think that it makes more sense to have Superchargers surrounding Salt Lake--Nephi is established. Tooele to the west, Evanston WY to the east, Tremonton or Brigham City UT to the north near the I15/I84 split, and maybe Heber City to the east so folks can bypass SLC from the south and east if they choose.
(As a parenthesis, have you all noticed that all the highways in Utah lead to Salt Lake City or Provo? Until I-70 was completed in the '70s east-west travel was almost impossible!)
