I wouldn't say that there was anything there we weren't expecting but I'm impressed at how filled out the network will be even in 2 years (pretty much what I was thinking!)
Excited...looks like Tesla got this right!

My wife thinks Elon has put weight on... Maybe that's a good sign that he isn't working 20 hour days
Or that he's started drinking to stay sane. :frown:

Some of the money is probably coming from Solar City, and they can justify it as publicity/marketing

Looks like Tesla already has the recorded event on their site:

Increased sales! It's really only on the order of about $20 million or so...maybe a little more. You can sell a lot of cars when you tell prospective customers they can drive anywhere in the country for free.
Capital investment for this will be spread across Model S, Model X, Model E, etc... customers.

I think it's quite the opposite - stress causes weight gain too

Epic . Historic. And really fun. Let's review: 150 miles charge in 30 min. Coast to coast. Already covering California - built in secret. Solar. Zero emissions. Free for life. Suck on that, Exxon.

Ditto Minnesota. Why does Tesla keep on pretending Minnesota doesn't exist? No store, no service center, no supercharger within 2 years. This is the final straw.
Or Vermont, though it looks like there's one just across the line in Hanover NH. I think Tesla has erred by not providing SC gateways to Cape Cod or to downeast Maine -- these are very popular vacation destinations.
I'm also surprised at the lack (in the 2-year plan) of a charger near Boise. Given the large Model S population in PacNW, I would have thought that Tesla might want to let them drive east without first detouring through Sacramento.

Seriously? They'll have Superchargers all over the Minnesota area in 4 years! You should be excited! Who else is doing this? I know you're upset they won't be in the MN area right away, but you have to cut Tesla some slack. They can't build them everywhere all at once.

There's a RED dot on St.Louis in the 2-year plan diagram, but that dot is Blue in the Long term plan diagram...thinking they meant to leave it red...I hope so, STL would be an ideal place for a charger early on. Looks like I get some SuperCharger love even in Springfield, MO in the long term plan!
