I read on the forums that someone talked to George B. and he said NOT to rely on the dots on the maps to locate the Supercharger locations.
Yes this is correct. We spoke with George on this point during the Miami Beach store opening celebration.
I agree with Cottonwood that around 150 miles between Superchargers should be the maximum what Tesla plans towards. Having been relieved by George's assurances about the "dots on the map" it is further reassuring if you let Google maps calculate the distances between the California Superchargers:
Folsom to Gilroy ..................................................169 miles
Gilroy to Harris ...................................................112 miles
Harris to Tejon .....................................................116 miles
Tejon to LA .......................................................... 91 miles
LA to Barstow .......................................................121miles
So if Tesla follows a similar actual practice in the Northeast and elsewhere we shouldn't be concerned about the rest of the Supercharger rollout.

Take a look at the reservations map. There's a very high density of cars in the DC--BOS corridor, second only to SFO--SAN. This was the natural second step. Building up from SFO to SEA and down from DC to MIA are the logical extensions from these cores.
Hi Robert,
Good points. It does make sense for the Northeast to be the second rollout behind California.
However, the reservation density resides down in Florida, so it would make sense to build from MIA to DC to connect to the Northeast portion of the network.
