I live in a flyover state, bought a Tesla in 2020. In my area they’ve added barely any new Superchargers at all since I bought the car.

I’m sure it’s different in CA/TX/NY, but I’ve been really surprised at how stagnant the charging network has been. I would take a hard look at at the Supercharger network in your region as it exists today and assume that’s what exactly you’re going to have for the next 5 years. Don’t factor in future expansion.

It is disappointing to see Yet Another California location added, although the voting system[0] does seem to be filling in some big gaps in lower traffic areas, like Kalispell, MT.

But yeah, there are huge gaps in the Dakotas, portions of Iowa, Kansas, and Missouri where one could not travel without some major planning or Supercharger alternatives.
