Tesla Supercharger network

Ah, but then I wouldn't have had a lovely bike ride around the lake :biggrin: Seriously, though, I was aware of the Sun Country station but since I only have a single charger it was worth the extra hour charging to have the recreation area available.

Oh that makes perfect sense, with a single charger...Onondaga Lake is much more scenic than Carrier Circle!

Good job whoever put cones with Tesla Charging only stickers at JFK SC! It was an ICEing target with all those limos.

Whenever there is an ice day in Dallas, the majority of vehicles I see in the ditch are four wheel drive vehicles. I believe this is because they don't stop any better than two wheel drive vehicles.

This. The reality is that the Model S traction control is so good, that I would drive anywhere with it (with snow tires) that I would drive a 4 wheel drive vehicle. The problem is that 95% of the population doesn't believe this and they believe that 4WD is a must for snow and ice. So IMHO, 4WD is a marketing necessity, but not a real need. Which is probably also why Tesla hasn't been prioritizing a 4WD model S, since they tend not to prioritize purely marketing features. They prefer instead to tackle real problems.

I mean, with all these forums and people running to the forums everyone their car burps, how many times have you read that their Model S got stuck in the snow?

Great thread & the cones are working, here is a tid bit from "Code Orange" writing talents...

Code Orange
They were clamoring for more installments, for more escapades. The Code Orange phenomenon was sweeping the country. He could no longer delay the inevitable. He had to tell his wife.
He dreaded the moment. He knew that she viewed him as an odd, lonely sort, with interior monologues rattling around his head. His Code Orange identity could only confirm her worst fears.
He told her everything. The purchase of the cones ("You hid them in the frunk?"); the online order for stickers ("Seriously? You bought stickers?"); the fending off of the ICEr at the Greenwich SC station ("He could have run you over. You have a wife!! A child!!"); the placement of cones at JFK ("You drove to JFK? The airport??").
He limped away, humiliated. That night, he dreamed that he was shackled to a chair, and before him appeared his wife, mcclary and Elon Musk, all attired in Connecticut State Trooper uniforms. "What was the point?" they asked, and then they threw tiny flags at him, each one embossed with an orange cone decal. "You're flagged!" they yelled, then they joined hands and ran off into the gathering mist.
He woke up, rivers of flop sweat pouring down his face. He found his wife sitting at the foot of the bed.
"Edison, NJ," she said. "That location is always ICEd. We need to act. And soon."
He realized then what he had always realized. That he loved his wife. And that she could probably benefit from therapy

Yes, but progress with 2 permits confirmed. http://supercharge.info/

I think we would probably be better off leaving the Texans in their place! Who know what will happen if we let them out???:scared:

Chipper more good news for you. Another permit added so the good owners from Texas can begin roaming the country sooner than you think:smile:

After the European push for the August travel season, and the push to get some in Asia, it looks like a few more starts are starting to happen in North America, again.

See my analysis and commentary at Is Tesla's Supercharger map possible? - Page 6.

82 in Q3 was from 46 in Europe, 19 in North America, and 17 in Asia. Really would like to see the North America number go up some in Q4.

Just found expansion of the Hawthorne Supercharger.

After a 9 day Supercharger drought, Lafayette, IN went on-line today!

Anyone have info on Lafayette, IN SuperCharger? - Page 6

Just looked at the supercharger page and for Europe there is guidance for 2016 with superchargers going into Russia and Turkey.

surprising to me that they are avoiding Belarus on the 2016 map. Ukraine is getting superchargers assuming instability in the region isn't an issue? Is Belarus more unstable than Ukraine?

Ahh... anything beyond the current map is subject to a lot of change. Even the "Coming Soon" map is, in some ways, aspirational. The 2016 map is merely putting a stake in the ground, providing a guideline to what Tesla is thinking the scope of the project should be in that timeframe. The realities of finding sites, finding appropriate electrical connections, doing permitting, finding contractors, dealing with that pesky profit problem, and most importantly, customer feedback changes the realities significantly. Most likely, the single biggest change comes from people buying cars and stating to Tesla where they want to drive. Tesla watches this closely, so if you want Superchargers, the best thing is to buy the car and get your friends to buy the car and tell Tesla where you'd like Superchargers to go.

The Tesla Supercharger page is showing 118 in North America. Supercharger | Tesla Motors Where is the new one ?

I would have sworn it said 117 yesterday.

The dot is still missing on the map for Lafayette, IN. Is it showing up for anyone else?

 

[RiverBrick]

Yes, but Vermaineshire (VM) only has a population of 3 million, with incomes lower in the north. Really, aside from people getting to the 200,000 vacation/seasonal rental homes and other tourism I can't see much use for Superchargers North of Boston.

There is a country North of Vermont with a decent number of Supercharger-ready vehicles.

And that puts AZ in the double-digit Supercharger club (along with CA, Germany, China, France...). I'll have to take a pic of the supercharger list in my car. Only one in CA will show on the first page of the full-screen list (Indio)...

mspisars found the "Coming Soon" supercharger in Charlotte, North Carolina in permitting. Location is Cochran Commons mall, 2720 West Mallard Creek Church Road.
