Albert Lea's construction went impressively fast considering the location and season! That leaves Kingman, Cheyenne, and Macedonia as the essential stations to go cross-country (in an 85 at least) and Lumberton as the last link (again for 85s) between Boston and Miami. All of those stations could open any day now - hopefully Tesla will make a media circus out of the Golden Spike supercharger.

In addition, you still need Vegas, Holbrook, Moab, and Cranberry to avoid range charges and/or hypermiling on the cross country route...essential for the Elon trip and avoiding range anxiety. Also, on the east to west route, a Supercharger is really needed between Cheyenne and Silverthorne to help get over 11,000 feet going through the Eisenhower Tunnel (you need more rated miles to get to the top of the tunnel than you need to get to Silverthorne).

You completely missed Kansas... But just move point L and you basically fix it (then all that is needed is some minor route alteration to avoid the AZ portion of I-15 for example)...
I live about 5 mins away from Potomac Mills. I finally get to contribute to this thread by stalking the progress through pictures and drones
.Edit: Based upon the last time I was at Potomac Mills (last weekend) I think I know exactly where they will be located. I will swing by after work today but I won't be able to get pics since it will be dark.

Here you go; by the middle of January, Tesla has already equaled December, that was, by far, the record month 'til then.

I don't think the permit/application has passed thus far. But should be soon?

We're going to need to start locating the new supercharger locations. Looking at the thread start dates for some of the locations that were just opened, we knew about the locations 1 month before they opened. We don't have too many more that are under construction at this time but I don't imagine Tesla will be taking much of a break between now and the next wave of superchargers.

Wow! Plus we still have at least half a dozen that could open within the next week or so.
Correct permit is not approved yet. Submission was incomplete and has not been officially accepted yet.

Blanding UT > Kayenta AZ = 95 miles.
Kayenta AZ > Flagstaff AZ = 150 miles.
Route of Choice: Denver(or Wyoming) to Flagstaff(Phoenix) is indeed thru Blanding and Kayenta and both are nice spots to take a break.

Was it a dream or a rumor, but somehow I think that there has been mention of a Supercharger in Kayenta...

Obviously inspired by Cottonwood This shows the monthly and cumulative installs... quite a trend line over the last few months!

Georgia, Indiana, and Arizona twice ? Reading it wrong?
Not that those aren't nice places to visit (my lawyer insisted I put that in).
And Kansas was already mentioned.
Since the search function turns up zero hits for 'Kayenta', I'd guess this thread is the first use of the word on TMC; the bots just haven't caught up with us yet. :biggrin:
I proposed Kayenta to the supercharger team as an alternate to the slightly more versatile arrangement that would put Superchargers in Tuba City and at the 160/191 junction. Kayenta is easier and cheaper to implement, but it doesn't connect Blanding to Holbrook or Gallup, and doesn't support destinations like Page/Lake Powell and Canyon de Chelly as well. One of these alternatives is clearly needed, since it lops 180 miles off the east-west transcontinental route.
