By Dec 31, 2014 what do you predict ?
personally - 300 worldwide and 160 in the US.
I predict no Superchargers will be built in Alaska or northwest Canada.By Dec 31, 2014 what do you predict ?
Permitted don't count. What counts is operational. Tesla map shows 200 operational just in the US by end of 2014. That is not gonna happen. It appears Tesla is concentrating on expanding the number of superchargers in the European and Asian markets at the expense of the US market. Thats not to say they are not building superchargers in the US, just not at the rate they indicated in their map.
They'll need to have a geographic strategy at this point in the year as the northern parts of the country will become more difficult as weather worsens and daylight shortens.Why wouldn't they be doing US, Asia, and Europe at the same time? I get notifications about a Supercharger coming online every day or two and it's been Asia, recently. I did get a note that Indio, CA came online 2 days ago. Going from 115 (today) to 200 in NA by year's end could be done. They've done ~40 in one month, but the permitting process is key. Application versus granted is key here.
The thing to remember is that they have multiple crews working on multiple locations at once in several countries. These things can pop up in batches.
Oh my! I wonder if they have thought about that?They'll need to have a geographic strategy at this point in the year as the northern parts of the country will become more difficult as weather worsens and daylight shortens.

I predict as of December 31 there will be 275 worldwide, 145 in the U.S. with...
I-90 complete except for Coeur d'Alene
I-70 complete east to St. Louis
I-10 bridge to the Texas island not complete
Vancouver BC - Calgary AB complete
Kingston ON not complete
We're seeing a real ramp-up in U.S. and Canadian activity, so it should be exciting in December and January just like last year.
I believe the 275 is a real possibility but I am seriously hoping that the 145 is low. There are 136 permitted already so that would be very little progress from what we have pending today.
I assume that a fair number of sites currently going through permitting will not be online by the end of the year thanks to delays in permitting and/or transformer installation.
Where do you get that there are 136 permitted already (see post #16, above)? We do not know that. Just because there is a dot on Tesla's map of coming soon locations and 2014 locations does not mean they have actual permits for those spots. In fact, Tesla has made it clear that the dots are just approximate locations, and could change based upon actual installation locations that are ultimately selected for permitting and construction. Supercharger.info shows there are 12 locations in the U.S. in which permits have been issued (as of 9/29/2014). Granted, they may not know of every permit that has been issued to Tesla for a SC, but it is highly unlikely that they are unaware of 124 issued permits (in the U.S.).
