After it appears on the Tesla map. Tesla asked PlugShare not to list sites before they do. Although the SC is Tesla property I do not agree that a crowd sourced database should comply with such a request, but that is just my opinion.
I still plan to be there tonight at 5p, my first ever visit to a Ruby Tuesdays, and put the wings up for an hour.
I haven't checked my car today, but it seems odd. The Parry Sound SC went live last Friday and it is on Tesla's maps (in car apparently and on the Tesla web site). But Brewer still is not.
We know the Brewer site was working on September 1, the day before Parry Sound, but for some reason it is still not on their maps.

Yes, but I emailed supercharge.info directly as did others I think. They are not hamstrung by the Tesla request to not post before Tesla does.

Yeah! So glad this is up and running now, too. Great to meet you at the South Portland EV car gathering today, Paul!
There is a very conspicuous red dot at that location on the Tesla 2016 supercharger build out map and it is a logical location for travelers from Maine to the Maritimes as well as to/ from Quebec and NB - however there is no news. It is unclear whether the dot is in Houlton on the USA side or Woodstock on the Canada side of the border. Tesla is obviously aware that it is a critical location for many owners, and there seems to be no shortage of real estate you could put a SC on, but so far nothing at all has been spotted. No permits, no nothing.

Tesla has the 2017 supercharger map out at their website and on it, the Woodstock/Houlton supercharger has disappeared. There are now no superchargers promised for New Brunswick or Northern Maine.
I don't think there are any "promised" Superchargers anywhere. They are planned Superchargers. (Under the map it says: "The map above is a representation of the corridors we plan to enable and the timing thereof. Exact locations and timing may vary.")

I've been driving my MS from CT to ME for over 3 years. Auburn was the most impactful (used HPWC at Natick before that), and Seabrook was a nice help. Just went to Mount Desert Island in December - Brewer was very nicely situated for that.
I hear the calls for Houlton (or even Jackman or Calais) to open up more of Maine, but am very thankful that the coast and MDI are fully enabled. Several destination chargers and other public chargers along the coast as well.
I don't see any chargers on Plugshare in Houlton - a couple in Woodstock. Perhaps people that are familiar with Houlton could find a business that would be willing to put in a destination charger - Tesla has very good support (including financial) for doing this. Maybe a hotel or shopping plaza?

Yes, as you highlighted, "Exact locations and timing may vary".
However, for the map to have any meaning, a Supercharger should be built in the general area no more than a year or two after the target date.
In the case of Woodstock, NB/Houlton, ME, the "2016 dot" which was present for almost two years has been removed and has been replaced by absolutely nothing in a radius of over 400 miles. This is not a case of slight variation in location and timing. It's Lucy yanking the ball away from Charlie Brown.
