I have an Ottawa to SSM trip planned for thanksgiving. I really wanted to take the Tesla but it’s looking less and less likely :-(Would be VERY NICE to have it all done before Canadian Thanksgiving.

The chokepoint is pedestal gear. We now how multiple SC locations in Canada waiting only on pedestals, and the local regulator inspection & Tesla tech activation that follows that, to complete. How many are active a month from now hinges on that supply.I don't think Elon would give us a $Billion, but the odds are that all the Canadian Super Chargers could be completed by Thanksgiving. Almost all the ground work is completed in Canada. Even some hardware and wire pulled. Depends on how many crews are installing the electrical/hardware and IF they even have the hardware. I'd allow about 3 days for each location to get it installed. Might be a bit optimistic, but shouldn't really take much more. Maybe 4 days if you allow travel time.
At the moment, you're preferred route is Muskoka->Sudbury->Naubinway, MI (overnight L2 charge)->Howard, WI->Seattle area->Vancouver.Hoping for some updates on the Sault Ste Marie Supercharger. Planning a trip from Muskoka to Vancouver Oct 4th and this supercharger would be a game changer!
How many billion internet bucks are you willing to risk?The Canadian Super Chargers could be completed by Thanksgiving, but I am guessing they won't and I am willing to put money on it. They could have been completed in 2018, as was originally announced. The Model 3 could have been released on time. The Model X could have been released on time. But none of these things ever happened on time.
You can do that trip right now. Embrace the adventure of non-supercharger EV travelI have an Ottawa to SSM trip planned for thanksgiving. I really wanted to take the Tesla but it’s looking less and less likely :-(
Speaking as someone who just did a 16-hour drive from Toronto to Thunder Bay with three children under 9 years old in the backseat, I embrace shorter drive times like I embrace a lifejacket in the ocean during a shipwreck.You can do that trip right now.

Taking a trip to Calgary from Toronto next week. So sad that this is not possible via TCH. Hopefully by next year this will all be a distant memory.
You must have been looking at the bollards. The Supercharger will be where the conduits are.What were all those photos I saw months ago of charging stations going in at the Water Tower in SSM? They sure looked like Tesla superchargers. Red and everything.
I wouldn't read too much into that article - it's summarizing discussion in these forums and the maps on supercharge.info, I don't think there is any explicit confirmation from Tesla apart from that so it's not a new thing or a change from what we already know today.Looks like these are confirmed V3! Tesla is accelerating Supercharger deployment, 10 more V3 stations confirmed - Electrek
Just to be clear, this is "confirmed" by supercharge.info, a crowd sourced user site. It hasn't been officially confirmed by Tesla.Looks like these are confirmed V3! Tesla is accelerating Supercharger deployment, 10 more V3 stations confirmed - Electrek

People report it on TMC -> Supercharge.Info uses that information in their list -> Electrek does an article based on Supercharge.info -> Electrek article posted in TMC as "confirmation". Some circular journalism.
Ottawa to SSM is already possible in a Model 3 LR. But you need to have a suitable plug to charge overnight in SSM before your return journey. I use a 30A extension cord (sold for RVs) and a suitable NEMA 14-30 (or NEMA 14-50) adaptor, plug it into a dryer (or stove) outlet, and "Bob's your uncle!"I have an Ottawa to SSM trip planned for thanksgiving.

Alas I only have an SR+. Would have to do a major detour down through Huntsville :-(Ottawa to SSM is already possible in a Model 3 LR.
