    That was true until last year when they lowered the charging rate and reduced the range in the 85S. Now it takes an hour to charge at Salina rather than thirty minutes and I get the "don't drive faster than" message. This is in good weather. In bad weather it's likely to limit my car to 40 mph. Not everyone can purchase a new Tesla every few years just because there is a lack of Superchargers. (Admittedly, this will cease to be an issue for me when the Cybertruck becomes available).

    Top Five - all along Southern I-95 to plug three different ~100 mile gaps:
    1. Emporia, VA
    2. Roanoke Rapids, NC (1+2 can fill the 107 mile gap on I-95 between Chester, VA and Rocky Mount, NC.)
    3. Walterboro, SC
    4. Hardeeville, SC (3+4 can fill the 108mile gap on I-95 between Santee, SC and Savana, GA. Also helps with Hilton Head traffic)
    5. Anything to fill the 98mile gap on I-95 between Savana, GA and Kingsland, GA)

    All the existing SC locations on either ends of these 100 miles gaps are either 6 or 8 stall. Crazy these gaps exists since I-95 from the Northeast to Florida is a fairly major road trip route with lots of snowbird, spring break and summer vacation road trippers. And lots of costal destinations in SC and GA.

    Most of them actually already have permits or some signs of construction. Exceptions being I-25 in Wyoming and I-40 in OK/AR.

    Splitting hairs but really that should be I-29.

    My top five haven't changed cause... well all of them were expected in 2019. Some even in 2018. I wonder if any of them will get built in 2020.

    1. Idaho Springs, CO (will take pressure off of Silverthorne, plus it is 79 miles from the one near the DEN Airport)
    2. Wheat Ridge, CO (west Denver is really underserved)
    3. Steamboat CO
    4. Telluride, CO

    I-94: 8 (really needs an extra Montana location) 7 are under construction
    I-40: 3, although I believe will need 4 with the actual locations chosen.
    I-15: 2 Helena, MT and Great Falls, MT are under construction. The 3rd, Shelby, MT makes the Canadian connection.
    I-25: 1. Casper, WY has been a long time coming.
    I-29 (not I-35): 4 (5 to Winnipeg). Fargo is under construction and also needed for I-94.
    I-35: 1 Emporia, KS is under construction

    To be honest, I think that serious questions need to be asked why Arkansas isn't done already. Some of the others are obviously less-traveled routes, but I can't believe I-40 isn't done yet, without there being a legal issue in Arkansas.

    Correction:
    I-35: 2 Emporia, KS is under construction, also needs one indicated by Tesla in Dilley, TX.

    I'd call Dilley a nice-to-have (between Laredo and San Antonio, but Fort Smith essential.
    Circles set to a radius of 175 miles.

    Well, another year has gone by. Time to update my list again. In 2020, Fargo was added, so I'll replace with Emerson MB.

    My list for 2021:
    • Watertown SD
    • Grand Forks ND
    • Pembina ND
    • Emerson MB
    • International Falls MN
    At this rate, they are adding one from my list per year.

    You now have Ozark and (apparently) soon to also have Ft Smith.

    3 years later and I only got 1 out of 5 :-(

    Did manage 6 out of 7 on my honorable mentions though :) (I'm counting the supercharger in Ozark + supercharger construction in Van Buren as a win for Fort Smith)

    Eastern NM and Western Texas have a handful of holes.
    upload_2021-1-30_8-35-41.png
    As well as Eastern Az.
    Globe, Showlow, Eager/Greer, Kayenta for me please.
    If I'm the Sunrise Ski Resort/Greer managers, I would think a Tesla SC would be a help to draw more customers.
    Same with the Navaho nation with the Kayenta SC - more monument valley tourists.
