When Will Canada Have Superchargers?

I would say Toronto in June, August for Squamish and Drumondville area...

O From those who select the correct month we'll randomly select a winner who will get the grand prize of... a free Supercharge.

So if you have the 40kWh pack, you get free upgrades to 60kWh Supercharger-nabled in order to claim your prize?

I say fall 2015.

My vote is in. September!

I voted September (didn't want to specify the year though )

I took August 2104, 11 months after the first Supercharger in Colorado in September 2013.

I voted for October. After all, that's the current time-frame for delivery for those ordering MS now :wink:

Wow... Canadian owners are screwed!

:smile:

On a different note, I hope Tesla has a historian... it would be nice to know some of trials and tribulations later, when the information isn't nearly as sensitive. I would love to know what was the actual problem. There is probably someone(s) inside of Tesla more pissed about the Supercharger situation in Canada than even the owners.

I guessed September, it seemed like a reasonable delay from the June estimate. It's also my birth month so it would be fun to snag a supercharge around then.

I'm in for November.

September for the Montreal to Quebec city one as per an informal chat with hydro

Well, I guessed August and I'm thinking it'll be at the Toronto East Service Center (little use to me). Probably the easiest from a siting and electrical servicing perspective.

The first (Ontario) priority should be the Hwy 401 corridor from Windsor to Montreal. I'm not clear why they are prioritizing the section east of Toronto when I would bet there is more overall traffic on the western section. The western section is an important tourism route to/from the US into Canada. (I don't have actual traffic flow numbers, but would be interested in knowing the utilization levels on the various 401 sections)

I dunno, it's pretty busy East of Toronto, too. Lots of traffic going to/from Quebec. Lots of Teslas in Quebec...

Yes, but there's lots of Teslas in New York and Michigan too. Its as if Tesla believes Canadians will stay in Canada and Americans will stay in the US when, in fact, there's lots of cross border traffic. The Superchargers shouldn't be where the owners are, but rather on the way to where they want to go, and I don't think it's reasonable to treat Canada and the US as separate and unique.

Due to the current 'seemingly never' approach to Canadian Superchargers, I put 'later than that'. I hope it is sooner than that but Canada isn't getting any love for some reason.

I voted "later than that". I feel sorry for you guys, you deserve Superchargers.
