Splitter! On I-70, splits 104.5 miles, 23.5 miles from Salina, KS and 81.7 miles to Topeka, KS.
This should be a big help, as Salina, KS is a 6-stall v2.

Supercharge.info needs to be updated to 12 stalls (from 8).
 
This one, and Russell, will completely change the game on I-70. I recently did KC—>Colorado Springs—>Denver—>KC in my Y and with supercharger splitting and the altitude gain it was the first trip I’ve had where I really felt like charging slowed me down.
 
Great news. Hopefully we'll be able to skip Salina and stop here next week!
It was great to stop here and finally charge at a v3 Supercharger in Kansas. We hit 253 kW pretty quickly. While we had enough to continue our trip after only a few minutes, we charged until 80% since there's virtually no public charging in Manhattan. Tesla really needs to add a Supercharger there, even if it's only 4 stalls.
