I'm genuinely curious and hoping someone could shed some light on this subject. With the opening of the Las Vegas Supercharger, has Tesla's strategy for Superchargers changed? The Tesla Supercharger page on the Tesla website still explicitly says that Superchargers are for road trips ("ROAD TRIPS MADE EASY", "Tesla Superchargers allow Model S owners to travel for free between cities along well-traveled highways in North America and Europe"). So why has a Supercharger location opened up in Las Vegas (i.e. actually in a city)?
The only thing I can think of is that it's located in fairly close proximity to the Las Vegas Freeway. Anyone have any insight on this? Is Tesla starting to roll out any other Superchargers in cities? Seems like the Superchargers will be held up by local freeloaders if this is the case, making it difficult for the people who actually need them to use them (i.e. people who are actually travelling long distances).
