North Dakota Superchargers (location speculation, discussion)

[lightfoot3b]

This is exciting. I would like to hope with those getting built that they'd fill in the gaps (Bismark and Jamestown) shortly after. Since Fargo and Dickinson are more my destinations, I need the ones in the middle to be able to make the trek more then I need the ends.

I agree, I need Bis/Jamestown/Fargo, but I won't turn one down close to home when traveling in -23*!

On another note I worked a little bit with an owner in Bismarck to assist in possible location scouting along with how to do the write up to Tesla (as the property owner) on allowing/placing a supercharge. I'd go out and dig the trench if it would have the SCs installed faster!

Great work lightfoot!

I stopped at the store in the Twin Cities on Friday and the guy there said the Fargo one should be starting soon. They also had about a half dozen Model 3's that had just come in and were going to get prepped for delivery.

I love the Eden Prairie Service center folks, but they have been far too encouraging about supercharger installs. I hope they are right, plus knowing that one is in the works helps, but I also struggle to figure out where the Alexandria one is. Logically that one would go in about the same time, but I lack any knowledge of that one being constructed since a prior report of Tesla sending a team to Alexandria/Fargo to work on locations.

If you are a Tesla fan/owner/eventual owner, join the Minnesota Tesla Owners facebook group. They had a ton of pictures from people going to checkout their car (pre-wash and post wash) with high resolution pictures of each color. I must say, the car is looking better than I first thought.

In my experience, showroom and service center employees generally have little clue about supercharger construction/progress. I mean they have a general idea, but less of an idea than someone who regularly reads this forum. The only good source I have come up with for inside info is the rare occasions when I have run into a Tesla tech who is either activating a new supercharger or providing maintenance to an existing supercharger.

I dialed back my phrasing to what I consider more realistic. His actual words were "Fargo should be coming online soon." I trust lightfoot3b and that I doubt they've been doing much for install work in the frigid winter.

It's been over a month. Has anybody seen any movement on SC progress in North Dakota somewhere?

Mini update:
Dickinson ND SC is still in legal paperwork. Progress is being made. Major update expected in late April/Early May.

I hope that is the case with the Alex, MN; Fargo/Jamestown/Bismarck SCs as well.

The permit has been found for Alexandria, MN. Presumably this is good news for I-94 through ND and eastern MT as well.

Thanks! I didn't realize how famous I was for this thread

Elon said the same thing in a tweet as your head of Canadian SC installs said, end of 2018 for i-94 and trans canadian installs. It was actually said in a direct reply (tweet) to the other owner in my town of Dickinson ND! His 15 minutes of fame for sure!

Right, I said that poorly. By the end of 2018, so anytime in 2018. Fingers crossed for i-94 in summer so I can travel like a normal person too!

With the Alaska Highway superchargers finally getting built, it will be interesting to see which state comes in 48th and which comes in 49th! I guess it depends on which end of the Alaska Highway they build out first. Perhaps there is even a stealth SC construction going on in Hawaii right now that no one has noticed!

Where do you see that Alaska Highway has SCs in progress?

I'm curious but I don't see that anywhere...
