September 24th would be the 2 year anniversary if I recall correctly .....
According to North American Tesla Supercharger locations - Tesla Motors Club - Enthusiasts & Owners Forum, it was November 19, 2012 that the first Superchargers went public. Hopefully, we will have 250 worldwide by November 19, 2014.

I am sticking with 9/24/12.
Here is a theoretical exercise. If we were to have superchargers that are no more than 50 miles apart in every direction - something that will make the gen 3 folks comfortable - how many super chargers are needed in the lower 48? 500 may be?
I disagree with Kevin Harney that 100 mile intervals are enough for comfort, as people with S60s and Model 3s should be able to easily go out from and return to a SC year round without having to drive beyond their destination to charge. The ultimate goal should be a robust infrastructure that provides anxiety-free convenience as closely comparable to gas as possible.Here is a theoretical exercise.

Done the calc before, but here it is again. The Interstate system is 47k and change, but the primary (1 and 2 digit) interstates are probably around 45k, and we can ignore the 2k+ of the mostly urban secondary (3 digit) interstates. So, 45,000/50 miles is 900 SC sites. Going to an average interval of 30 miles, as is typical on rural interstates, takes 1,500 sites. Adding the same again for U.S., state and local highways gives 1,800/3,000, but round that up to 2,500/5,000 just to be cautious. By comparison, there are somewhere around 100k gas stations in the U.S., but the majority of those are in urban locations to serve local driving and aren't needed by most Tesla owners, who can charge at home.
