There is one in Atlanta too - does someone know that is this a new location?

Yes, as I posted there is a false Tesla store in Georgia. No doubt in the future there will be an Alanta store, maybe even this year, but until it actually appears on the official Tesla list, it would be misleading to show markers to stores that don't exist.

Or perhaps change them to "Announced Tesla". But in any case, Tesla hasn't announced whether it will provide charging at its stores/shops. Certainly the DC store doesn't currently have any place to plug in (besides the repair bays).

Tesla Model S Could Have Charging Stations Ready on Arrival - GreenPacks
They probably have one there by now...

There has been a 240V Tesla Roadster HPC at Harris Ranch for a long while now.
The SuperCharger would be an additional charging option there for Model S to use...
I added a Supercharger desired location in Drummonville,CA for getting to Quebec City and one in Bangor, ME for Mt Desert Island and the Maritimes to the Zeemap. I also added the new service center coming in the fall in Watertown, MA.
In general, it seems to me that the Supercharger locations, as opposed to normal charging stations, would be better on highways away from cities. They're really only for use on road trips for quick charging, so I'd rather not have to drive into a city. Overnight charging is a completely different thing and placing 10 or 20 Kw chargers in cities or other destination locations makes a lot of sense to me.

Reading the various threads on range anxiety (and the MotorTrend article!), it seems there's a third category needed:
1) Superchargers, strategically placed.
2) Overnight charging
3) Extra chargers for a quick top off to add a few miles when you've mis-judged the run to your next supercharge or overnight charge.

Added a few suggestions in western Norway, in locations where they would be useful for several different routes to different places.
Max theoretical range is hardly practical here. The terrain is far from level, the roads are often so steep that regenerative braking would be insufficient. I have a feeling that driving Rv7 down Måbødalen it would be a bad idea to start with a full battery!
Furthermore, 55 mph (90 km/h) would be both impractical and illegal on the majority of these roads.

Made me think of superchargers
How Fast You Could Travel Across the United States in 1800
I guess an enterprising soul could start collecting road trip information from folks driving around their countries and do a "how fast you could travel in a [Model S/Roadster/etc]" map.

On board BC ferries (ok maybe not Superchargers), think about it, if ferries had fast chargers, you could load up while sailing and have a full charge on the other side.
Pull onto the Ferry, and have a retractable cord from the ceiling, plug in, and enjoy the sailing.

I vote for Super Chargers at these locations :
1. Merritt BC (this is a main connection point to the Okanagon BC, Salmon Arm, Kelowna, etc etc. Major hub and people from Vancouver could reach here in a single charge and it would open up the entire central BC for EV travel)
2. Whistler BC (obvious reasons)
3. Vancouver BC or Hope BC (again pretty obvious reasons.... however, I would say another fringe location, like Hope BC would be better because anyone living in Vancouver should be charging at home. The real power of Super Chargers is being 200-300 miles from where Tesla Owners live, this way it effectively doubles the range at which they can travel.)
