Along with Kearney (and North Platte, which is rumoured) there will be a very high density of SCs along this route. Is it required for range reasons (particularly hilly or cold)? Is it easier to get electrical connectivity or planning approval in Nebraska? Or is it just Tesla preparing for the Model 3?

guessing it has to do with at least 2 of the three. Elevation change to ogallala from omaha is 2300 ft. prevailing winds usually 10-20 is normal. In addition to planning for the model 3. also may be due to the fact that they have the crews out here might as well finish NE off for awhile. Many of us have been waiting patiently 3 yrs for the "promised" chargers.

There are always rumors of places that never happen because other places happened. I think it is extremely unlikely that superchargers are built in Kearney or North Platte in the foreseeable future. Too many other places in need to justify that level of redundancy now.

I tend to agree, but I wouldn't be surprised if they put one in Sidney.

Something on that leg seems likely. 170 miles is a bit higher than they're going with lately.

no dramatic change. Hopefully they get rolling on it. I, too, drove by on my way home to omaha. This will be very useful to help bridge the gap in winter driving conditions.

Another update. Not much changing here at site. Some progress made but still 4-6 weeks off if lucky.

Slow in coming, Grand Island will be the hinge pin between east and west on I-80.
And it appears the last to come on line. This was taken on Christmas. The posts are where the charging stations will go. The background services are further than they look. No problem when the weather is nice. I might have to get a Boosted Board!

Thanks for the update. It's good to see the utility transformer in place.
