....and there are in fact about 5-6 states that actually have none !! EDIT: there are actually 7 states that have none.
Of the Lower 48 states, there are only
5 states that currently do not have Superchargers: AR, ME, MS, NE, ND.
Southern Mississippi is basically covered/broached via I-10.
Hawaiian Islands will never need one, well at least until the bridges start connecting islands.
Alaska is at least a couple of years down the road before Denali Highway will see some Superchargers.
Nonetheless, Arkansas/Mississippi/Western Tennessee & Kentucky/Northwestern Alabama/Southern Missouri/Eastern Oklahoma & Texas/Northern Louisiana is the largest (lower 48) US land mass area with a significant population, yet without Supercharger services.
It will be such a relief when this REGION starts to get filled in.
Most people don't take cross country road trips, or if they do, it is only once a year.
But a lot of people DO take Regional road trips to visit family and friends, go to college football games, graduations, weddings, birthdays, etc.
Even installing 4 to 6 Superchargers on I-20 and I-40 would make a HUGE difference and start to get some connections going.
Connections creates awareness.
Awareness creates curiosity.
Curiosity creates want.
Want creates sales.
Sales creates more product and greater need for Superchargers.
And so on...
My example:
As of today, yes, I can drive to Atlanta-- but I would have to travel almost 500 miles out-of-my-way to get there, in lieu of heading nearly due East.
It is huge gap without Superchargers, probably fairly easy to complete in one day's drive (one and a half day max) after they do get installed.
Why not make a kid's day like a Gentleman from GA and I recently did @ Independence, MO Supercharger.
The kid was aware of the Model S, had spotted us charging and he had drug his mom over so he could see
two Model S.
The kid is probably still talking about it (I did let him sit in my car.)
Person-to-person is what creates genuine vibe and interest.
TM, Please start spreading some Supercharger Love in the SouthEast....
