Now that we're getting a substantial number of SC's and even a few almost direct shots across the US and up/down, has anyone considered a database of experiences between each SC? I mean charging tips for each particular SC... how much recommended for the next leg given all parameters (terrain, possible weather, time of year, etc).

Most of us know that you probably do not need to fully charge each time, but it would be nice to consult a database of experience. I realize that EV Trip Planner is a valuable source, but this will take it one step further with personal data from experience. And being confident in the charge required will save lots of time on long trips.

Doesn't 6.2 and higher make that a no brainer? Sure the routing is brain dead but once you set a route it does the math on the %charge remaining for the next stop.

Yes but not fully. There may be something ahead that could affect consumption. A tip on a short cut (like in Yreka, CA - the cut going north using hwy 263 which avoids a substantial hill climb and affords a scenic alternative). Using the I-70 route versus the I-90 route (when completed). Time of year alternatives. Many factors that 6.2 doesn't take into consideration.

Just a suggestion.
 
There are a few persistent gaps that need to be filled in. Sheridan WY to Rapid City SD has been there for a while.

More recently Boise ID to Tremonton UT is another gap that should be filled.

Now will the I-90 gap be filled in before or after the Model X ships ?
 
There seem to be a big difference between these two maps. Any thoughts on Tesla setting it's sights too high ? I am kinda glad they are ambitious and have lofty goals but it also looks like they won't even come close. Perhaps a little more realism should be added.

Tesla Map for 2015

Supercharger Info Map

Info Scs.JPG
 
61 Superchargers were added in the first half of 2015 in North America. I suspect the cash management in the past few months has slowed down Supercharger installation starts... and they just did a capital raise to help them through the Model X launch.

In Q1 alone, there were 42 added.

So, adding 50 to 70 in the next 5 months should go a long ways to fulfilling the 2015 plans.
 
Correct and the Map will Add a "2017."

By then the map will be so densely filled it'll be unreadable. I would rather see a new map style with 2017 NE, 2017 SE, 2017 NW, 2017 SW or one that is at least pan and zoomable.

Will they just ditch the static map and add coming superchargers to the Tesla Store, Service Centers and Chargers map?

I guess so long as supercharge.info is around I can deal with it however they present it. It's just a shame they don't put more effort into their web presentation.

"138 new live Supercharger stations in 198 days (in 2015). The average is almost 0.7 per day (in 2015)". That looks like the going average these days. And that still is extraordinary progress.
