Looking at rural areas of Northern CA on the new Tesla supercharger map, a couple things jumped out at me:
First, in NE CA, they got rid of the goofy Greenville/Adin/Newell sequence of superchargers, which never made any sense whatsoever in the real world. It was probably just some intern picking names on a map that were appropriate spacing without realizing how insignificant these places were. These were replaced with a much more realistic Susanville and Alturas although they are listed as Coming Soon(!) in 2022, so I wouldn't hold my breath on those. If and when they do get built, they will enable travel to and through the area although not necessarily along the most efficient path.
Perhaps more exciting, there is a Yreka location listed as opening in Q1 2021. Of course, I would take the timing with a huge grain of salt, but I would think this site might already be under construction or at least have an outstanding permit for them to make such a claim. If you happen to be passing through on I-5, by all means scout out the town. It's only like 2 exits so it shouldn't take long. And don't forget to check out the relatively new casino on the other side of the freeway, as that could be a decent spot for a supercharger as well. Also, if you are continuing north, take a look in Myrtle Creek, OR as that was a similarly surprising new location on the map listed as opening Q1 2021.
