Salisbury, MD also came online just before those two. It was a surprise since it wasn't listed as "Coming Soon" and the construction hadn't been discovered by supercharge.info

It has 6 stalls.
I love surprises like this.

I've been holding off on Salisbury (and Dayton) because they weren't yet listed and/or mapped (the Denver SC web page, as of early yesterday afternoon, still showed the temporary hold screen with only 1 stall, but I decided to post it as I was tired of waiting for Tesla to fix it). And then starting late yesterday afternoon, when you go to their main SC page it directs you to their 'find us' page for the most current SCs. A bit irritating, but I guess they're trying to get people's attention away from how far they're falling short from their 'coming soon' and '2014' U.S. deployments. Anyway,

As of 11/12/14, Salisbury, MD with 6 stalls (open 11/8) and Dayton, OH with 8 stalls are listed and mapped (on the 'find us' page). Total U.S. SCs now 34/126/806.

Seriously just look at this from a world wide view. Incredible. Think about permit process in all the jurisdictions!!! There are also literal a few hundred utilities in the USA alone to deal with.

[GRA]

The chart (from supercharge.info) does a great job of showing how much Tesla has de-emphasized SCs in the US this year. In spite of claims that jurisdictional issues are causing delays (yeah, like Europe doesn't have multiple, overlapping layers of bureaucracy), the graphs showing the rate of U.S. SC openings late last year and into the first two months of this, when they were focused on getting the first transcontinental route completed, are just as steep as they've been in Europe more recently. Given the motivation, Tesla would have had no problem meeting their 2014 targets here. Instead, they're going to fall at least 50 US SC locations short of their own predictions for 2014.

The problem isn't that they have been putting a lot of effort into Europe and Asia, it's that they haven't been putting in a similar effort at home. I think they're going to start losing sales due to people getting tired of delays, and who will choose other options (like the Cayenne S e-hybrid). They really need to get back on track, which I think will take an average opening rate of at least 20 SCs/month here, and that means they need to have at least that many in process at the same time.

 

[scottf200]

I don't know what the reason is I was just point out it is not trivial AT ALL. If they need to rein back a bit on the USA to move their world wide agenda and keep growing then that is perfect. I want long term success and not short-shortsightedness.

Seriously? Because people by the Tesla Model S for road tripping as a main reason?!? Common on, man! I think it is so they can avoid gas and drive any long day away from home they want to work or visit friends or attend some event in a 100+ mile radius.

I certainly plan on road trips in mine Model X (if all goes as planned) but I'm 100% happy to see the progress they are making. All those lines are going up a a great pace. Unbelievably impressive especially compared to other manufacturers.

So do I, and not following through on their own promises when they clearly can (Musk: "Money isn't an issue"], is IMO the very definition of shortsighted.

Since the average Tesla owner is far more concerned with performance (and image/status) than being green compared to owners of other BEVs, I suspect many of them will opt for the car they can get now, instead of waiting another 9 months (if not more). And non-Tesla owners who are on the fence and are even less ideologically motivated now have an equally high-status, but more versatile and probably less expensive vehicle to choose instead of the Model X.

Impressive compared to other manufacturers? If you want to set the bar that low, then sure. Impressive compared to their own, voluntary commitments? No. Falling 33% short isn't impressive at all. Depending on who did the counting and whether or not they're including Canada, Tesla's 2014 map showed 201-208 SCs in North America at the end of the year. At the moment there are 136, 133 in the U.S. (Butte just opened). Since there were 50 here at the end of 2013, even assuming that they get to 150 by the end of the month they are far short of their own claims. No one forced them to make these statements.

West Hartford, CT will be live tonight.

GRA, I am also disappointed Tesla couldn't reach their Target for 2014 in the U.S..
However, just because a company sets very aggressive goals for themselves isn't reason in my eyes to be so critical when they are able to do as much as they have.

I certainly don't put Nissan down for not reaching their sales goals early on.
They, like Tesla, set very aggressive goals, fell short, yet are still doing a phenomenal job.
They are #1 in sales and #1 or #2 in EV miles driven..

Both cases (Nissan sales and Tesla SC rollout) were new areas with many challenges, some expected, some not.

 

[DNAinaGoodWay]

I'd be happy if Nissan could just persuade all of their dealers to have an available QC, but they can't even do that.

Anybody know if the Hooksett, NH SC site will also have CHAdeMO?

Tesla/Elon are gaining a well deserved reputation for promising big and delivering small. IE: when is you battery swap station coming? how about that model X? and the model 3 isn't even a glimmer in an engineers eye. Don't get me wrong, Tesla does a lot of things right unfortunately they certainly don't seem to be able to remain mum about wishlist things

I'm not critical of them because they couldn't reach their target. As I pointed out above, I'm critical of them because they chose not to reach their target even though they easily could have done so, which is a very different thing.

There are many bigger reasons to put Nissan down, although Nissan's own actions undoubtedly contributed to their sales shortfall. Nissan has certainly done a phenomenal job of pissing off and losing the trust of many early adopters who were their best salespeople, while establishing a reputation as a company that will do everything in its power to avoid standing behind their customers unless forced to do so by legal means and/or extremely bad PR. Are they to be congratulated for this? Tesla, at least, mostly gets this right, and no one could claim that this kind of corporate attitude was a new area that would have results that were unexpected (good on Tesla's part, abysmal on Nissan's).

... As I pointed out above, I'm critical of them because they chose not to to reach their target even though they easily could have done so, which is a very different thing.

This is where I guess we will just have to agree to disagree.
I believe Tesla had sound business reasons combined with more difficulty than they expected to.
I know of one of the SC stations that had the equipment onsite for a full year before the permits got approved.
You can make the assumption that the full expansion could have been done "easily". I'll chose to give them the benifit of the doubt as the job they have been doing has been great.
