Agreed, I'm especially on board for opening new stores or at least service locations up in rural areas to fill in the gap.

Your Top 5 Anticipated Supercharger Locations
- Thread starter Drucifer

Now that they are going to double the size of the network, maybe they will finish my top five.
Tesla plans to double Supercharger network, V3 delayed to ‘early next year’, says Elon Musk
Wheatland is done now by the way.

Ft Smith, AK would open up I-40
Clayton, NM would allow access between I-25 and I-40(E) without detouring up into the the hills of NM.
Basically, I hope Tesla can start building those missing "in 2018" Supercharger locations early in 2019, please, please, please

I can cross that one off my list. The nice thing is that when I wrote that, I thought that site had been indefinitely delayed if not cancelled.
It's been just over a year, so happy belated birthday to this thread.
Beckely, WV - DONE
Hickory, NC - DONE
Buford, GA - DONE
Greensboro, NC - DONE
Charleston, SC - ?????
So now I'd like to see....
Charleston, SC (actually North Charleston)
Charlotte, NC (South/SouthWest)
Christiansburg, VA
Dothan, AL
Evensville/Eberfield, IN (last major hole east of the Mississippi, IMHO)

I occasionally check supercharge.info for the construction status of Superchargers.
The number under construction in North America has been continuously dropping for the past few months, and is now down to 31 (including 1 in Toronto area). Mainly in California (needed) and the North-East, with a couple in Florida and in upper mid-West.
Only 4 new permits so far in 2019.
I understand Tesla's Supercharger emphasis is currently distracted by retrofitting European stations for CCS charging for the Euro-configured Model 3, but when will they return to filling gaps in their North American network?

Remember that just because it isn't listed on supercharge.info doesn't mean it isn't happening. It just means that nobody has found the evidence of it and supplied it to them.

True, but lack of those under construction is a good indicator of what is happening.
SpC construction is the lowest in years.
Service Centers openings are pretty low as well, inspite of Musk's twitter comment more than 6 months ago acknowledging that this was grave oversight and will be fixed.

VA/NC border on I-95. Heading South from DC, Rocky Mount is too far to reach, but I reach Richmond with 55%+. I need something in between.

I do. I get there with 40+%. On my way to north myrtle beach it means I have to stop three times. If the spacing was right I could do it in two...
We'll put your request in somewhere below North Dakota on the list of priorities!
La Pine, OR
Silver Lake, OR, or Summer Lake, OR, or Paisley, OR
Lakeview, OR
Comment: These locations are along the normal route between Reno, NV, and Bend, OR. This route is moderately well traveled by Lakeview people going to Bend for medical appointments and shopping, or going farther north (to Portland, etc.).I don't need Lakeview, since I charge at home, but others will need it, especially as it is also on the route between Klamath Falls and Nevada/Idaho/Utah, etc. The 180 miles between Lakeview and Bend gives me range anxiety in cold or snowy weather, even with my LR Mod 3: I have arrived home with less than 30 miles indicated range remaining on my almost-new battery, and if I had had to use chains, I certainly would not have made it.
La Pine (30 mi S of Bend) would help me but is too far from Lakeview for those with short- or intermediate-range models in cold weather. (However, La Pine has the advantage of having shopping areas and being along the route between Klamath Falls and Bend.) Paisley, Summer Lake, and Silver Lake are tiny places with no major shopping areas, but there are no other reasonable stops along the route.
Lakeview has some large parking lots, which could easily accommodate Superchargers, near businesses of the type that people passing through town would stop at.
Christmas Valley allegedly has a J1772 charger. Even if that were a Supercharger, it would not be very useful to those traveling between Lakeview and Bend, except as an inconvenient emergency detour.

Well I don't want to discourage you but once you get off the interstate highway grid Tesla is pretty slow building superchargers. Any chance you could work with some of the shopping centers or small cafe's along that route to get some destination chargers installed. Tesla has been pretty generous with these even with small hotels, B & B's and coffee shops.

If there is someone out there that is willing to compile data from this thread, it would be interesting to list all of the recommendations in order of how many times they have been uniquely recommended, mark how many have been built out and how many are still awaiting a build out.
One of the Coming in 2018/2019 superchargers shown on Tesla's map is across the street from my house.
The balloon is right on top of someone's house, so clearly the location shown on the map is not correct/final. But it is really fun to pretend that that I could walk home while the car was supercharging.

It's been stated many times before but I'll mention it again. The map showing future locations does NOT show the actual Supercharger street address. It is only showing the CITY/NEIGHBORHOOD in which the new Supercharger will be located. If you look, you'll see the balloon is always centered above the town name. The actual location could be several miles away. It will NOT be located where the balloon has been placed.
The example below shows that in the Denver metro area, they will have Superchargers in Denver, Cherry Creek, the Denver Tech Center and Wheat Ridge. We know the planned location of the Wheat Ridge Supecharger and it will be located several miles to the west of where the balloon is centered above the Wheat Ridge label.
I don't think Fort Smith, AK would help many people here. Maybe Audie.
