Who pays for all these Super Chargers and locations? /sSupercharger data through the end of 2022 for North America. Record number of new locations and stalls for any quarter and for any year.
(Disclaimer: data was pulled from supercharge.info, which is not official data from Tesla)

Some tidbits from the underlying data:
- Tesla has averaged > 10 stalls per location for each year starting in 2018 (although some quarters average less than 10)
- The last 150 kW install in NA was on 12/11/2020. All since then have been 250 kW (v3) and 72 kW (urban chargers)
Is this part of Tesla vehicle margins or something else like factory equipment that dilutes all products evenly? Like, what would a Tesla cost if they didn't build any superchargers, I wonder? McDonalds created most of its value out of land in the end, not the burgers (but they owned the land while Tesla leases).
How to put a price on superior charging and (some) prime locations - IDK but I suspect it's a lot higher value as a result.
