Get back to me when there are 40-stall superchargers along the route that are filling up regularly.
Sure, it would be awesome if every supercharger had a dedicated Tesla lounge, but there's no way it would make financial sense for the company.

Cough, cough. Major route from the Central Valley and from the Bay Area via the Central Valley to points east.
Seen at the Mojave Supercharger last night. Alex on Twitter

Hope it’s like the ‘coming soon’ sign posted at Quartzsite for new Ehrenberg SC — that was only two weeks.
Thanks to Marco for starting a new thread about the coming Palmdale Supercharger at Supercharger - Palmdale, CA (location speculation, pop-up sign in Mojave)

Finally got in. The guy next to me has been charging for over 45 minutes. I finally asked him how he was doing, and he said he was close to max. I told him there were 10 cars waiting, and if he has enough, he should leave. He did.

Hey guys,
Currently at charger thousand osks and gps(waze etc) now routing via mojave/99 but worried that there is backlog there and if it's better to stick to 101 north at least for now.
Anyone in area, would appreciate heads up.
Cheers

I was at the Mojave supercharger on Friday (27 December 2019) and Sunday (29 December 2019).
Friday was a really busy day for this charger. Highway 58 from Bakersfield had been reopened around 11:00 AM.
I left Bakersfield at 11:00 and reached the charger just before 4:00 PM (yes, it was really bad traffic).
When I reached there, I was 10th in line for charging. Some smart folks had started a sign-in sheet to keep
your place in line for charging. I had to wait 1:45 hrs before getting my turn.
When I got my turn, the sign-in sheet had 28 names on it! I don't know how long it took for
the last person to get his turn.
On the way back on Sunday I stopped by around 1:30 PM. I was 3rd in line. Wait was only 15 minutes.
The Palmdale supercharger should come on line ASAP!

Tesla can easily expand this location. The parking lot is massive and mostly unused. In fact, it is in very poor condition (ever try taking a shopping cart back from Stater Bros? Yikes!). Tesla could offer to repave a large portion of the lot in exchange for more space. They could easily add another 20 stalls. 6 would make a huge difference, but given that there were 28 cars in line, they need more to make this future proof.

When and if Bakersfield proper gets its planned Supercharger, and when and if Kramer's Jct. gets its planned Supercharger, those two locations will take some pressure off Mojave. Not a lot, as I suspect 80% of the usage is for people traveling between the San Fernando Valley and the Owens Valley north. But there are plenty of Bay Area types heading to Vegas or Arizona or Valley types like me who head to Arizona to make a difference. I would certainly charge in the planned Bakersfield SC and bypass Mojave.
