Hopefully they work on Shelby and Great Falls as well to get access to these new Canadian routes! I've pushed for those and emailed multiple times as they are 'coming soon' on maps but just move to the next year all the time. Thread: Supercharger - Great Falls, MTI don’t have the liberty to answer your question. There are many moving parts, so it is subject to change.
In this region, the Canadian route across the prairie currently has priority.
Kalispell can bridge between Missoula and Fort Macleod in a LR Tesla. It’s only a few more miles net deviating to US93, and debatably more scenic.It's about time that Canada is getting some attention. It would also be great if some of us Tesla owners to the south of there could use I-15 to get to Canada.
Indeed (add 30-40% SOC) but it would depend on which side of the mountains you are coming from Western states or Eastern states route.Kalispell can bridge between Missoula and Fort Macleod in a LR Tesla. It’s only a few more miles net deviating to US93, and debatably more scenic.

The road through the National Park also isn't open in winter. Therefore, they need to get superchargers along I-15 to really connect Montana to Canada.Indeed (add 30-40% SOC) but it would depend on which side of the mountains you are coming from Western states or Eastern states route.
I think you are thinking about Going to the Sun Road which is only open part of the year. Glacier National Park Current Road StatusThe road through the National Park also isn't open in winter. Therefore, they need to get superchargers along I-15 to really connect Montana to Canada.
I was talking about the route outlined in the picture you posted previously. It was not along US 2. But yes, I do see that there is potentially a 199 mile route from Kalispell to Fort MacLeod via US 2 through Browning. That being said, US 89 and Alberta Highway 2 are somewhat minor roads that might not be well maintained in winter. If you route along only US 2 and I-15 (through Shelby), it becomes a much more difficult 289 mile leg, possibly even impossible in cold winter temperatures.I think you are thinking about Going to the Sun Road which is only open part of the year.

US highway 2 is open year -around AFAIK unless there is a big storm but then it is plowed.
Possibly a semantical debate, but I definitely wouldn't say impossible. Obviously you'd need a LR M3 or S100D and then it would depend greatly on the speed you drive and the weather. Generally not advisable in cold weather though of course.I've went from my house in Bigfork to Calgary in winter with my Model 3 (early production). Charged to 100% at home, by way of US2 through Browning. All the roads are kept open in winter except for storms. Its impossible to go from Kalispell to Ft. MacLeod by way of Shelby in winter without charging. If you do the math, you'll see that even coming from the east (I90/I94) or south (I15) driving over to Missoula and up to Kalispell and then Ft. MacLeod is not too much of a detour when compared to driving straight up I15 through Great Falls.
HST, I want to see a SC in Helena ASAP. That would help me more than one in Kalispell.
I appreciate the effort, but I HATE that question.So back on topic.....have permits for Kalispell been pulled yet? Anybody know?
It's not just you. It makes no sense at all. You're already looking at the specific thread for the Supercharger at a certain location where any possible updates would have already been posted if someone knew about them. And the only people who would see it are the people who are already looking at and watching this thread, who would have posted those updates if they had them. I saw one a month or two ago on another one, and it's just weird. And beyond that, it marks the thread as something new having been added to it and bumps it to the top, so it gets people's hopes up who were watching it to see what the new information is.....only to find that there is no new information.I appreciate the effort, but I HATE that question.
Never once in the hundreds of times people have asked that about a Supercharger have I EVER seen someone answer "oh yeah, I forgot that I saw that site under construction and didn't mention it, sorry".
So back on topic.....have permits for Kalispell been pulled yet? Anybody know?
Thanks for asking. I just checked the MT electrical permit database and nothing yet :-\
I typically check when I think of it, once a month maybe. I'll post right away when there's any action. Of course, it never hurts to ask to jog my memory ;-)
I believe you are the one in need of a safe space, not the other way around.Hey Rownolds,
Thank you for your helpful and informative reply. That is why we create topics such as these and follow them.
As to the other two replies complaining about my question, GET OVER IT. I have the right to ask and there is nothing you can do about it. If there is a safe space or a therapist nearby, please go there to deal with your issues.
Meanwhile, I will ask again in a month because I want to know when I can start using a supercharger in my hometown! If you don’t like that, feel free to unfollow this thread so you can redirect your “hate” somewhere else.
Nice to see that we have some boots on the ground, well certainly closer than just about everyone else reading this thread. We’re all sitting by the fireplace with popcorn awaiting the results of your investigations. Please post pictures as well. Thanks.....snip....Meanwhile, I will ask again in a month because I want to know when I can start using a supercharger in my hometown!....snip.....
