A new one opened up last weekendWhy haven’t there been any new posts on any new Supercharger in over a week?
That is not correct. The second Thousand Oaks Supercharger opened on August 3, and the San Diego A Street Supercharger opened on July 27.Why haven’t there been any new posts on any new Supercharger in over a week?
The pace of supercharger development everywhere has dropped dramatically over the last month. One could speculate that it is part of the new policy to be profitable each quarter. While we there may not be many new ones going into permitting or construction, we could get 6-7 new openings in California over the next month or so.
Really? When most of the country is waiting for Superchargers to open this year, you are complaining about less than one a week?Why haven’t there been any new posts on any new Supercharger in over a week?
The Carlsbad, San Jose, Milpitas, and San Ramon superchargers should at least temporarily relieve congestion at some of the busiest sites (San Diego - Qualcomm, Dublin, Fremont, various South Bay sites) once they are operational. Tesla is presumably getting more reliable data on Model 3 supercharger usage - perhaps they use superchargers far less than S/X since it isn't free. Given that Model 3 will soon be ubiquitous in California though (I'm already seeing as many 3's as S) I am concerned that whatever the reason for the slower supercharger development Tesla will be more reactive than proactive about congestion relief at least in the short term.
If anyone has the pulse on Supercharger openings, it is emupilot.
Moreover, as of today, most of California has pretty gosh darn good coverage. Interstates 15, 80, and 5 have redundancy to eliminate long waits. The metro areas of Los Angeles and San Francisco Bay/Peninsula/East Bay have adequate coverage. (Sure, it could be better, but it is decent.) San Diego could use more, but hope is on the horizon.
One could also speculate that Tesla is figuring out which deliveries during the next two quarters will need the most Supercharger coverage, and is delaying pulling the trigger until the geography is known. In the meanwhile, Tesla can sock away some of the cash from the Model 3 sales and use it in 2019.
Perhaps I'm misunderstanding your post, but aren't those superchargers with 2019 opening dates? I didn't check all of them, but the ones I checked have an expected opening date of 2019 on the official map....including a number that aggressively claim completion by Summer 2018:
I agree the situation has gotten a lot better for California in the past year, but if they needed to prioritize efforts on delivery and away from Superchargers, why be so shortsighted as to update the Supercharger maps recently in late May with a bunch of new "coming" sites, including a number that aggressively claim completion by Summer 2018:
Adin, CA
Almaden, CA
Antioch, CA
Big Sur, CA
Bishop, CA
Carmel Mountain, CA
Chino Hills, CA
Costa Mesa, CA
Greenville, CA
Livermore, CA
Los Altos, CA
Marina Del Rey, CA
Mariposa, CA
Montebello, CA
Newell, CA
Ojai, CA
Pacific Palisades, CA
Palm Springs, CA
Rohnert Park, CA
San Diego, CA (Mission Valley)
San Jose (South), CA
San Ysidro, CA
Sonora, CA
Susanville, CA
Watsonville, CA
Westwood, CA
Williams, CA
Woodland, CA
That is just offering false hope that they then yank away not even three months later?
I have understood that the 3 is not so much a touring car as the S is. With that in mind, and knowing that Superchargers are for long distance traveling, Model 3s should mostly be using their own garages.

Tesla has been dangling their planned Supercharger openings in front of us like a carrot since 2014. They have executed quite well at times, but all too often they have been kicking the can down the road. See Interstate 90 between Billings, Montana and Minneapolis. See Interstate 10 and Fort Stockton. There are other locations as well.
The myriad reasons for Supercharger openings that are delayed or deferred are beyond the scope of this segment. Tesla has always been overly sanguine about Supercharger openings to the dismay or disappointment of many buyers. One of the things we have learned over the years about Tesla: The only thing certain about Tesla is change!
We have also discussed in another thread that a few planned locations in California (Newell, Adin, Greenville among others) seem misplaced or along the less-frequently traveled road that is already served by locations already in place (K-Falls) or planned (Chico, Susanville, Yuba City) for example.
What?? Sonora is getting a supercharger? That's news! (I have a cabin in Sonora)

I think they "updated" (read: pushed back) their target dates at some point after the big map update with all the new pins. That could be the cause of some of the confusion.I didn't make this list, this was the complete list of all new ones added to the map in late May, per another thread - I just stated it included ones targeted for Summer 2018.
But thanks for doing the one-by-one lookup, and the subsequently chronological tally - it is helpful to sort the entire planned list that way.
