They really need more than one due to elevation changes. My vote would be Beckley,WV and Morganton, WV. Beckley would help with I-64 in addition to I-77 and Morganton would help with I-68 in addition to I-79 and they would act as bookends for US-19 as well.
Also would be super helpful for ski trips
+1 on this, Morgantown would be a perfect location

Huh?
I suggested green because it's the color of ecology. What does that have to do with fascists (your link)???

2016 SC for NA page was updated
I had to come find the this thread after the new update it took me looking hard for it.

It is more likely an error than a legitimate update. Someone blindfolded and throwing darts would make logical changes than the ones I see in the Northeast.

I think its more a timing issue than a placement / route issue. Some of the "2016" chargers will get moved into 2017.

Oh geez... here we go again. I-80 corridor in PA is back OFF the map.
WTH, Tesla? You want to sell cars in Pennsylvania or not?? HARRISBURG. I-80. Do it. "Coming Soon" since 2013.

I don't think the database reflects expansions of existing sites does it? I think somebody speculated Tesla might be focusing on expanding bottleneck sites right now.
Management may have decided that the supercharger network is mostly OK for now and they are focusing on ramping up Model X production, getting the Gigafactory online, and getting the Model 3 done. A lot of the investment world was wringing their hands at Tesla's burn rate last year. Other than the slow down in the supercharger roll out, I can't put my finger on it, but since the end of last year it's seemed like Tesla has pulled in their horns and they are concentrating on keeping the burn rate down this year.

My WAG is that they're conserving cash for Q1 since MX rollout is slower than anticipated. Stopping (or drastically slowing) Supercharger buildout is a quick and easy way to cut expenses. It's also the kind of thing that can be ramped back up pretty rapidly once Q1 is closed and the MX ramp (and demand) is showing promise.
Could be, but there is very little reason to reduce the number of permits but that is what is happening. Only 1 permit so far in March for North America.
You're probably right (which is why it's a WAG) but remember that there's only 1 permit we've found in March. Certainly possible there are proceedings we've missed - this thread is proof that we can frequently be late to the game.
Again, you're probably on point. But.. just throwing that out there.
There are two public Supercharger locations in Truckee, just over 30 miles west of Reno. Tesla has private Superchargers at the Gigafactory. I could see them maybe adding one in Fernley eventually but Reno doesn't need additional coverage at this time, considering they are intended for long distance travel.
