This is Butte not Missoula. Hopefully this one follows suite in the coming day or two.

Butte is open.

I'm confused. Isn't this one Butte? https://x.com/TeslaCharging/status/1750629516219961423?s=20

(Those are the same? It's just tracking elements in both that differ?)

Showing in the app. This is significant as it completes the first all V3 shortest path coast to coast route in the US. Almost any Tesla can now go from Boston to Seattle using only V3 superchargers without going out of their way.

They sure like installing them in pairs on this route!

(Yes.. sneakily cropped to exclude a couple of groups of 3 at either end...)

There just isn't much else out there in terms of cities haha. There's a lot of distance between towns in Montana.

If I had a magic wand and could wish some superchargers into existence from my time in Montana. These would be the locations that could benefit from them the most. There are secondary highways that have yet to be filled across the state. Highway 200 between Missoula and Great Falls isn't passable Westbound in the wintertime in a LR Model Y. The Hi-Line would benefit from any EV charging as options are non-existent until you get over the border but that road is heavily traveled, especially in summer when the tourists descend. Throwing a charger at Eddies Corner would close the gap between Great Falls and Billings and would open up round-trip travel to central Montana (where I grew up). Then you have the nice to haves Dillon, Drummond, and Hysham. All along Interstates and all would bring the gaps <100 miles.

What ImScotty said. Montana is the Western Australia of the USA. There are a few small towns in between, but they might even have power supply issues.

Also the early ones were v2s and now these towns are getting v3s so it kind of makes sense.
