Where do you want a new Supercharger?

A'-Lo-HA ! y'all
Does no good to post it here.
Nice place to put a list. But don't expect it to produce any results.
There's a process for requesting new Supercharger locations. But not on TMC.

You folks do understand that requesting Superchargers here is useless effort? Right? This is not the place to request Superchargers.
yah, but it still doesn't hurt to post. After all, one can dream.

If you say so, but the effort could be more productively spent posting the request on Tesla's Supercharger request area.

Ely NV would be a great place. Not only for U.S. 50, U.S. 6, and U.S. 93 travelers, but also for the annual Silver State Classic Challenge in nearby (30-some miles) Lund. Last fall I did a road trip which included U.S. 50 from Ely to Sacramento. Charged overnight at the Ely KOA. Good thing I had made reservations in advance as it was Silver State Challenge weekend and the entire RV park was booked.

You have one of 4 at Panama City Beach (Construction).
Plus the one (permitted) at Marianne, FL, will allow the run from Auburn, AL to Marianna, FL, and then on to the Beaches of the Florida Panhandle. (Yes, also adding one at Columbus, GA would be very nice for that run, but that make Dothan less likely)
My need is to fix the notorious gap on I-40 between OK City and Little Rock, AR with SCs each side of Ft. Smith: Henryetta, OK and near Ozark, AR.
Somewhere around Jonesboro, AR would also be really nice.
My other big gap is now being filled, since Tesla are putting one in Clayton, NM (permit). However, many people in West Texas probably wonder about the absence of Supercharging in Lubbock, TX.
Might be the only one... but Lander, Wyoming. Smack in the middle of the state and opens up the vast majority of the state for exploration. Shortly followed by McCall and Ketchum, Idaho.
Ages ago, I used to drive a lot between Wichita KS and Las Cruces NM on U.S. 54. U.S. 54 follows a railroad main line, and had quite a lot of auto traffic. Even today, it saves a couple hours of driving vs the Interstates. So I was a little surprised when Tesla chose Clayton over Dalhart. Hopefully someday they will put a site in Dalhart too.

If you want to take a more Southern route from Atlanta to Denver in the winter and avoid I-70 through Kansas, the best alternative should be to use I-40 across Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas, and then cut from Amarillo, TX on US-87 to Trinidad, CO (I-25). Clayton NM solves the problem on the US-87 leg.
With the current gaps in the preferred southerly route, the mileage penalty adds half a day to the trip and therefore pushes people upto I-70.
The penalty comes from having to use I-20 to get to Dallas, and then having to stay on I-40 into NM for a reasonable cut through onto I-25.
BTW: Wouldn't you be better suited by one in Liberal, KS than Dalhart, TX?

Dalhart is at the intersection of both roads - so would help both sets of travelers. I used to stop there for a food break.
It has been quite a few years since I've done U.S. 54 - outside of the little piece that is now I-40 between Santa Rosa and Tucumcari. To retrace my old U.S. 54 route, yes - Liberal KS would be very helpful. And also someplace like Carrizozo NM.
