This is a huge gap-filler and great news for travelers between the big population centers in Texas and the southern Rockies. This site makes a non-interstate route feasible while the other 4 that Marco dug up improve the capacity along I-40 and I-25. I can't wait! The horizon is getting bigger for our all-electric travels.

This, Roswell, Carlsbad, and Ruidoso would make some great additions for SE NM so that this is no longer the reality for those of us with smaller packs.
Also expand Santa Rosa+Pecos while we’re at it…

Somewhat of a diversion, but a very significant hole-filler.
Allows drivers more easily to cut the corner from Santa Rosa, NM to Lubbock, TX along US-84.
Splits on US-60, being the first of 3 Superchargers that would be needed cut the corner from I-10 at Las Cruces, NM to I-40 at Amarillo, TX.
Also splits on US-70.

With Clovis permitted, and Roswell NM in the top twenty for supercharger voting, maybe this charging hole in SE NM will finally get filled.
Does anyone think that Francis energy will get their chargers online before Tesla?

Be nice if they did but their rates suck golf balls through a garden hose.
Hallelujah! Really needed this one.
Now if Toot-n-Totem can get their Lubbock supercharger location built we’ll be set. Not sure why the service center superchargers were down the day we tried to go through. Didn’t want to get stuck in Lubbock.

Will have to watch out for that since it’s on our return path.
Bout freaking time! Had a dicey trip from Lubbock to Santa Rosa in MYP charged to 100 this summer in 105 degree temps. We made it, but Clovis has been much needed for a while! Would be nice if it were closer to the highway, but better than nothing!

Has anyone actually visited this site yet?
Pictures would be nice.

That IS a bummer! At 204 miles, I suppose I could make it from Lubbock to Santa Rosa (going through Ft. Sumner) but in my Model Y, I'd have to drive pretty slow. If the West Texas Wind is true to form, it could be a very "interesting" drive.
Hmmmm - looks like all the Lotaburger locations disappeared?

I have made this run from Santa Rosa to Lubbock 3 times in my 2018 3LR. But as the battery ages I am starting to get more concerned.
One day the wind stopped blowing in West Texas, everybody fell over. . . . . .
It’s such a strange sensation when there’s no wind. Like in a horror movie when the characters have a moment of calm. You just feel that something bad is about to happen.
Then you hear it. A high pitched bbbuuzzzz of a blood sucking or biting insect thinking that the inside of your ear is a tasty meal or a nice place to lay its eggs.
30 seconds later the wind starts blowing again.
Anyways as long as the bugs out here are blown away from my ears, we’ll need chargers every 150 miles or so.
I did it in a MYP (with Gemini wheels installed) last summer with temps in the low 100s. Charged to 100% in Lubbock and the car was telling me to turn around as soon as I left Lubbock. Pressed on and made it to Santa Rosa with a little to spare. I did keep it at the speed limit and had AC set a little high until I was sure I would make it! This Clovis location sure would make it a lot less nerve-wracking.
