This was my reasoning.... quote from Elon
“We’ll focus on long-distance routes, so if you’re in a hurry to get from one city to another, you can go as fast as possible.”
Time will tell!
Does anyone have an idea of how to push this along with Tesla? I know they have it listed as “Coming soon” for 2019 ( Sioux City, IA | Tesla ), but since there doesn’t seem to be any permit applications on-file; I’m afraid it doesn’t look for this year!

I have two thoughts about this:
- Ha ha ha ha ha. Tesla is pretty talented at ignoring customer requests and interests.
- Tesla is supposedly working on the I-94 corridor across North Dakota and the I-29 corridor connecting Kansas City to Winnipeg. They apparently want to do contiguous sections and do not want to have gaps in straight line routes. The city currently holding up all of this is Alexandria MN. This site has been screwed with for several years, including full approval, then relocation.
We have more happening this year then there has been since it originally said due in 2018 back in 2017. So, lots to be hopeful for right now. I put it at about 65/35 that it's done by year end.
Your pictures taken from a different angle on Saturday, August 10. And when I drove by yesterday I saw no signs or activities.
Yeah I’ll be visiting family in Sioux City for the holiday. I’m sure I can make it work one way or another, worst case I just park the car there for a day and catch a ride to the house while it charges.
If you are 100% (or even close) coming from either Council Bluffs or Sioux Falls then you should be good on just 110v at the house you will be at.
Respectfully disagree, Sioux City should not be ignored just because you can plug into a 110 outlet and be good.
In the winter, Omaha to Sioux Falls is a huge leap for even 85kW cars depending on temp and wind.
Sioux City would also be useful for getting to Okoboji and Spencer. Both places have no fast charging infrastructure. In which a 110v wouldn’t even allow a return trip in a day of charging.
Regardless of having a family members house to charge at, a SC would be a great addition to promote EVs in even a not so traveled corridor by most who currently drive them.
Not sure what you are disagreeing with since I never said that Sioux City should be ignored. I was simply helping him/her see a way around leaving the car at a L2 for a while.
If you read back through other posts you will see me commenting on how bad a Sioux City Supercharger is needed.
Then I apologize. I mistook for plugging it into a wall to be the only resource to use.
No worries.
Personally I'm really hoping for this Supercharger sooner than later because I've been hanging on to my old Prius because of the gap in between chargers. I feel like I can safely sell it once it's built.
