Mostly mother nature. I have roof full of solar panels get plenty of snow (at least this past winter) and within a day or two so the panels are completely clear. I'm sure there are exceptions but it is not the concern you think it is.

Please forgive the cross-post, but the Tesla Flat Stanley Challenge is coming to a close. There are only 14 remaining Superchargers to be photographed with Flat Stanley. If you can, please post. Thank you -- it's been an amazing journey.

I agree! I have arrays at both of my houses in Colorado. Even the Pagosa array at 8,000 feet in the Rockies is clear after a day or two of sunshine, even in very cold weather. The real problem is dealing with the snow coming off the array a day or two later. Good snow plowing of parking lots happens the morning after the storm or sooner. This delayed avalanche of wet, heavy snow off of a solar array requires a second plowing, and heaven help you if you are standing under the edge when a big chunk lets loose.
Chipper in a regional thread reports talking to a mall manager who says they are in negotiations to install superchargers at the Hamilton Place Mall in Chattanooga, Tennessee!

Quite curious as to what that extra grey dot between the Newark and Hamilton SCs are... I see Harrisburg and Allentown in relatively obvious places, but the one immediately below Allentown seems to correlate to somewhere near King Of Prussia? Perhaps that new Service Center in Devon will get a SuperCharger?

It shows the supercharger in Buckeye, AZ as coming soon, when it's been up for weeks now - hard to trust some of the other dots.

I would throw out a guess more near Plymouth Meeting, at the intersection of the PA-TP and the NE Extension. Easy-on, easy-off of the turnpike. That would allow people to get to and from the Poconos on a single charge (roughly 150 miles round trip, plus a good buffer for winter). Devon is too far west and too far off the turnpike to make it convenient, IMHO.

You certainly could be correct. However, the Norristown Service center is being moved to a much larger location in an old car dealership in Devon,PA. I would not be surprised if they have a Supercharger there.
Don't get too excited about the Hawthorne map. It is out of date (several "coming soon" dots are now online) and it has a westward shift to its coordinates (note Albany, New York is well east of its coming soon dot). So the coming soon dots in eastern Pennsylvania are Allentown (Whitehall), Edison NJ and Hamilton NJ. That doesn't necessarily mean your local service center won't get a supercharger, as I don't think Tesla ever listed the Syosset, NY or Highland Park, IL service center superchargers as coming soon before they opened.

I noticed that on one of the pics posted a week or so ago also.
My theory is that both Gila Bend and Wickenburg are the coming soon dots there -- and are just covering up the Buckeye dot since they are relatively close together (~50 miles south and north respectively of Buckeye)...

What about the 8 small dots that form a circle in South Dakota? Could it be the hyper loop test carousel?

Yeah, I saw those too... Hope you're right!
I also thought "well, they can't both be 'screen refreshing icons' ... So one must mean something?!?!" Haha

Anyone have any solid intelligence on the build-out across western I-90 (eastern WA, ID, and MT)?

I heard there may be something heating up in Ritzville, WA. If true, 113 miles is a nice distance from Ellensburg. Ellensburg, WA to Ritzville, WA - Google Maps

First that I have seen of it. The test will be to show it to a savvy ICE driver and see if they "get it."
