Does anyone know how to make suggestions to the Supercharger team? I regularly travel from South Florida to Asheville and curse Tesla every time when I am forced to divert to Santee or North Columbia. I'm seriously considering purchasing a Chademo adapter so I can charge at 40 KW and top off without diverting so far off the route.

I don't know of a direct way, but I think Tesla is well aware of the issue and might be making progress on it. At least I hope the new "St George" location is on I26.
In the meantime, the CHAdeMO is surprisingly useful. That EA generally is good for 40+kw, and should be able to get you enough to get to Asheville in less than 30 minutes.
It looks like Tesla has planned SC's on I-95 near Walterboro and St. George which could be more useful to you in the future. See attached screenshot.

This link, Host a SuperCharger from the Tesla website shows how a business can become a host of a Supercharger. Maybe scout out a location where a SuC would make sense right off the interstate and try to get ahold of the business, (I.E. several restaurants and hotels at mile marker exit 145), to see if they would be willing to host a SuC. Probably would need to talk to the General Manager of these stores or their Headquarters.
