Update on the situation at Fargo should be coming next week. I was unable to obtain the info I was looking for today, but I did find out who will know next week

Called in. Here are the facts and only the facts (ma'am):
They are still in talks with Tesla over all the details/paperwork.
Good news is they are in the talks.
I told them I need it up so I can travel there. She said she would relay that information. Win.
Do you think it would be beneficial if more people called and inquired?Called in again, no updates/changes for the Fargo mall location.
My opinion on this is it never hurts. Just don't say you know anything already, simply inquire about it the first time (since the dot showed up on the map/there is some type of permit or surveying being done so that's public knowledge). It will show people want it to happen! Businesses like people showing upDo you think it would be beneficial if more people called and inquired?
I reached out and received feedback. They are still in talks and told me to check in again in a few weeks. Hopefully they'll have something agreed to before the end of June. Then the question is, when does construction start and when is the Fargo SC up and running?My opinion on this is it never hurts.

If it's based on Alexandria never (ok, not soon! Good to know they are close at Fargo, Dickinson is shovel ready, Bismarck/Jamestown are a mystery). Now to really figure this Alexandria mystery out.I reached out and received feedback. They are still in talks and told me to check in again in a few weeks.

Don't forget that Fargo is on the I-29 corridor as well. I would suggest that pursuing Superchargers North from Sioux Falls SD will be serendipitous for I-94 as well. We might see a Fargo SC before Alexandria. If it happens this way, then adding Alexandria would be patching a hole rather than extending a string.If it's based on Alexandria never (ok, not soon!

I'd suggest that we should be pursuing Watertown SD and Pembina ND as part of the Fargo solution.
All roads do not lead through Alexandria.
While I agree with your idea the facts do not like our thoughts, the I-29 corridor does not look to be a thing other than north of Fargo to go to Canada. There is no link south of Fargo into SD (120miles or less is pretty much required to be considered in Tesla's route planning)Don't forget that Fargo is on the I-29 corridor as well.

I agree that Tesla doesn't seam to care at the moment to connect Fargo to Sioux Falls. They both aren't big enough to matter on their own, just routes passing through. I wonder how many Teslas have been sold to people in Winnipeg/Manitoba.
a chademo adapter can be had pretty quickly i got one and use it at our malls all the time as it's free fast charging within about 3-5 miles of home.No clue how many were sold in Winnipeg but I've been waiting for the few missing superchargers to be able to visit friends and family back home in Winnipeg. Get my X March 2017 since then we did Montreal > Orlando last summer and had planned Montreal > Winnipeg this summer (2018). Without superchargers we had to change vacation plans. So this year we are doing Montreal > Outer Banks (NC). Superchargers are truly amazing but driving 1300 miles on supercharger network then driving the last 400'ish miles with 11kw max charge rate, if I can even find a charge that fast, it is out of the question (don't have CHAdeMO adapter).
So all that to say, keep the updates coming (Alexandria, Fargo & Pembina). I can't wait to see progress pictures.
It looks like Tesla has suspended its Supercharger construction at least for this year.
Now, we have this news from Moorhead, MN:
