Anyone want to hazard a guess as to the location of the first New England supercharger? I'm thinking on the north side of New York... But that might be wishful thinking. Do you think we'll find out this Thursday at the Natick store opening?

New York isn't New England! <pff>
The most useful one for me is the White River Junction one.
New York isn't New England! <pff> The most useful one for me is the White River Junction one. It looks like there's one slated for the New London area, which would help on the way to NYC from Boston (although that's not really the shortest time or distance, which would be on I-84 -- a fact I'm betting the Californians didn't consider). Since that's the "main line" SC, I'd bank on that being first.
First, let's start with the question, what superchargers are currently in Tesla's plans that serve New Englanders? Best guesses from the "Within Two Years" map:Robert, a while back you posted your wislist for super chargers in the North East. If TM followed through with the super charger plan as depicted in the announcement, where would you have them add super chargers next?
Boston | Providence | Hartford | Portland ME | Newton | Niantic | Lebanon | Albany | Woodbridge | Montreal | |
Newton | 13 | 45 | 90 | 120 | 0 | 102 | 130 | 156 | 232 | |
Niantic | 112 | 61 | 45 | 210 | 102 | 0 | 189 | 154 | 150 | |
Lebanon | 124 | 170 | 146 | 148 | 130 | 189 | 0 | 132 | 184 | |
Albany | 160 | 161 | 110 | 230 | 156 | 154 | 132 | 0 | 165 | 222 |
Woodbridge | 244 | 208 | 145 | 232 | 150 | 165 | 0 | |||
Montreal | 184 | 222 | 0 |
Rutland is a good add -- I don't know the Vermont side of the region as well as the coast.Nice job on the chart, Robert. I agree, WRJ/Lebanon is a logical place to start. And I also agree with Concord NH & St. Johnsbury.
Another one to consider would be Rutland, VT (junction of US 4 and US 7) - a lot of tourist traffic on both of these routes.
Albany/Montreal seems like a stretch at 222 miles. Would be nice to see something half way up I-87 around exit 29 or 30. There's not much for services at those northern exits, but there are rest areas.
Yep, New Haven would be my pick over Niantic -- the dot on the map seemed further east than New Haven, though. The fact that my daughter is at Yale has nothing to do with my preference for that location, of course. ;-)How about if instead of the one planned in Niantic, they put one in New Haven? It's about the same distance to Boston and serves both the Conn Turnpike and Rt 84. It's a bit further to the Cape, but still doable.

They'll probably ask me to endow the HPWC if I were to ask! Bleh. (Fixed the Concord junction; thanks)I second the notion that either New Haven and/or Hartford would be much more useful than Niantic.
Oh, and you should talk to the Director of Sustainability at Yale to badger them into installing HPWCs there. Make sure they don't install wimpy 30A units because your daughter will most definitely feel you have overstayed your welcome waiting that long for a charge! Besides, what you're paying for tuition would buy at least 40 HPWCs a year!
And Concord is at the junction of I-93 and I-89.
George Blankenship said that the next 1,200 (!!!!) locations have already been planned.
But what is the order...
The Boston to DC corridor is a priority, time will tell.
Why not use the data of our driving habits which can be collected from the vehicles to drive the supercharger locations beyond the initial skeleton network of superchargers?
Because if the distance where there are no superchargers is long, then we won't be going there because there are no superchargers so no data from those areas will be collected. All the data will show is which superchargers get used the most--not where new ones (other than to reduced SC congestion) should go.
