Madras, OR
Along Primary Interstates: None
Along US Numbered Highways (<=5mi): US-26, US-97
Along Auxiliary Interstates: None
US-26
From: Sandy, OR - 94.8 miles
To: Boise, ID - 329.1 miles
Diversion: 0.1 miles
From: Portland, OR - 118.7 miles
To: Idaho Falls, ID - 609.3 miles
US-97
From: Bend, OR - 43.8 miles
To: Yakima, WA - 176.7 miles
Diversion: 0.3 miles*
From: Klamath Falls, OR - 180.4 miles
To: Ellensburg, WA - 210.5 miles
US-26 and US-97 coverage, Particularly helpful on on US-97 where it splits a 220.2 mile gap reducing the gap to 176.7 miles to Yakima, WA.
*Yes, it's different but should be the same. The mapping is just odd sometimes.

All we need is Boardman and Oregon is dialed! (except for SE Oregon…).
Yes!!! If traveling from Montana/Idaho/Washington through Kennewick to Bend, Or and south, it has been touch and go if you decide to forego the Dalles which saves a lot of time and worry (of availability). Madras always has a few level two chargers (slowwww) as a backup for a few miles to get to Bend.
This will make a big difference and Madras can become a Supercharger pit stop.

I think the most important location now is Albany. Because right now, you can't drive to Corvallis and the back to Bend without charging somewhere. And then, a second SC in Bend, such as north side at the Target; this is because the current state of the older SC is starting to get too congested.
Madras, OR should relieve some of the congestion in Bend, OR. It'll be preferred because it's v3.
I think Bend will continue to see congestion during peak visiting times. Bend is a primary destination east of the cascades in Oregon. I wonder if the upcoming Tesla Service Center in Bend will have public chargers?
This Madras Supercharger is a big deal for Portlanders (I don't think folks have mentioned this obvious insight yet...).
If one is driving from Portland to eastern Oregon and back: taking US 26 over Mt Hood is the most frequently used route with Madras lying right in the path both ways. Cove Palisades/Lake Billy Chinook, Crooked River Ranch, Redmond, Bend area, Smith Rock, Eagle Crest, or even making a loop returning via Sisters/Santiam Pass.

And Lakeview, please. It’d serve US 395 north-south and 140 east-west. Among other things, this would allow travel between the Klamath Falls and Winnemucca Superchargers without dipping way down to Reno.
And Myrtle Creek as well. That’s three new Oregon locations at Grocery Outlets.

John Day's single destination charger is slow. Would be a great place for a small supercharger. I always see Teslas traveling Hwy 26. Baker is a bit out of the way if on the way to Boise from central Oregon. And yes, SE Oregon is needed too.
The service center is Bend is almost complete. Its located across from the DMV on 97.
The distance from the planned Madras Supercharger to Baker City Supercharger along US HWY 26 is 225 miles!
I would love to drive that stretch but that distance is too far to attempt in my current Tesla (and while I am traveling stopping in Madras to to charge to 100%, or headed west, a stop in Baker City to charge to 100% to make it to Madras is not a fun wait). There is a current John Day Chargepoint CCS/CHAdeMO but it's only one plug...a lot to gamble on!
Prineville to Baker City Supercharger is 196 miles...still a lot!
I drove through last weekend and there are no signs of a Tesla Supercharger construction as of yet! I am hoping once Troutdale is finished off they would head over to Madras but who knows
