Indeed. And from CA to NY. 25 years or 50 years. Doesn't even matter if it ever carries people. Transporting freight from coast to coast in less than a day as an alternative to air freight will have huge implications.

Superchargers are for long distance travel. I live in California, but Tesla needs to complete the major cross-country routes which are I-90, I-80, I-70, I-40 and I-10.
I-90, I-70 & I-40 are in pretty good shape.
I-80 and I-10 need to be completed.

I-40 is completely open here in the Mid-South. Needs Memphis and Little Rock for a start. All on the 2016 plan on Tesla's map, but not there yet.

Superchargers are also for areas of density as well as distance - for 2 years now. Hence, in part, the 4 SCs in LA County and the soon to be 4 SCs in Orange County, And more are needed. Same with the Bay Area, same with the East Coast - it ain't rocket science.
Tesla is behind with I-10 between Tucson and San Antonio, and has struggled to keep up with the density/distance nexus that is Orange County and North San Diego County. Theoretically Buena Park and Santa Ana will help, but until there is an SC in North (SD) County the distance travel from San Diego will disproportionately impact density charging in Orange County.
Clearly, I-10/I-20 west of Texas (DAL/SAT) and I-40/I-30 east of Texas (DAL/OKC) are sore points in 2016.

None of the poll options are of any interest to me.

You could save Tesla a bunch by having just one that is in between
. Though Plymouth Meeting might not be a bad idea from the view of the whole network.

Do they have a suggestion box/page where I can submit a location suggestion?
