Here is an interesting comment we heard today, secondhand but originally from a Tesla employee with knowledge of the SC rollout: Tesla's goal is to have 400 SC locations in N.America. I have heard that statement twice now: 400! That is considerably more than has ever been indicated on any of the public maps. Just imagine the coverage that would provide.

Since the original amount for the US was 200 locations, hopefully that means the remaining 200 are for Canada....???? 
Wow. If there's a gas price spike and that many SCs are available, Tesla orders will skyrocket.

We do share this lovely continent with another country too.
If they all cost the same as Savanna Airport economy parking lot, at $100 per space per month, with an average of 6 spaces rent would be $240k per month. They'd have to sell 120 cars per month in the USA to pay the rent with the Supercharger fees. Any other fees would pay maintenance, power and new construction.

Well, you get so cold up there you'd need them spaced every 80 miles.

Yes. My immediate thought when I hear this figure is that is has nothing to do with Model S or Model X...it is all about laying a foundation for making Model E/GenIII the only car anyone will buy in 2017 or whenever it hits the streets.
As I often travel through northern B.C. , Yukon and NWT, I'd love to have some up that way!Since the original amount for the US was 200 locations, hopefully that means the remaining 200 are for Canada....????

I bet in ten in twenty years time, people will have a hard time imagining the US without a coast-to-coast fast-charging network for EVs (just like it's hard to imagine life before everyone had cell phones). I find it really exciting that we get to watch that network being built in real time!
Macedonia, OH SC being tested today. Met a great Tesla employee, Troy, who is involved in the SC rollout in the eastern part of the country. They were charging the car off of generator power today and expect it to come online next week sometime. He also told me that Maumee, OH is supposed to be energized Monday. If all goes well, both Ohio SC's will be online next week! I also asked about the other dot in Cleveland, OH, but he said he had not heard anything about it...
With the Ohio chargers coming online can Elon make his trip? Wonder if they will try to have everything online by Tuesday when TM makes a presentation at the Detroit Auto Show. Would be nice to announce you can drive coast to coast on the Tesla SC network.

Two are up and running in NM! Farmington, NM came up on the Big Board today, as well as Grand Junction, CO and Flagstaff, AZ. 3 of the 4-Corner states, and Blanding, UT should come on line any day now!
So it sounds like 4 should be coming online early next week, the pages below are NOT live
Lumberton, NC - http://www.teslamotors.com/supercharger/lumberton
Blanding, UT - http://www.teslamotors.com/supercharger/blanding
Maumee, OH - http://www.teslamotors.com/supercharger/maumee
Macedonia, OH - http://www.teslamotors.com/supercharger/macedonia
Any others that should open next week?

I think they still need Cranberry, PA. The crew said it will take approx 3 weeks to complete, but they might not start next week as some permitting activity was still going on (though this conflicts with what I heard from Cranberry Township, which indicated the permit for the Residence Inn parking lot had been approved the day before yesterday).
I'm assuming Madison, WI, Eau Claire, WI, and Kingman, AZ will all go online as well. They are all extremely close. And maybe even Las Vegas.

Thanks for the update! They've made significant progress since I visited two days ago.

Ah yes. Someone figured out that the Madison page went live a few days ago. I'm surprised it wasn't part of today's release.

The Golden Spike will be in Albert Lea, Minnesota. With this week's openings, the following other superchargers are needed to go coast-to-coast in an 85: Kingman (construction to be finished next week), Blanding (opening next week), Cheyenne (awaiting power company hookup), and Macedonia (opening imminent). With Maumee and Hagerstown expected to also be open before Albert Lea, the longest gaps would be:
Barstow to Kingman 209 miles
Flagstaff to Gallup 182 miles
Blanding to Grand Junction 184 miles
Silverthorne to Cheyenne 167 miles
Macedonia to Somerset 177 miles
Without Albert Lea, it would be 239 miles from Worthington to Onalaska, which I'm guessing none of you would try in January/February.
Who will be first to go coast-to-coast on supercharger power? (I think half of TMC will try to do it before Elon does)

islandbayy got an unpleasant reminder that a live web page does not necessarily equal a live supercharger.
