Voting For New Tesla Supercharger Locations is Now Open

I don't see the point of this survey.

Totally. They already have data on where superchargers are overcrowded.

Does Tesla have access to anonymized data that shows where drivers are actually going? I would think they could use that data to make these decisions.

On the other hand, the data they *don't* have is where do Tesla owners *want* to go. No other way to figure that out but to survey them.

I put it up there with the close elevator door button.

Many elevators, that button is just to make the elevator user feel better, and actually has not electro-mechanical function.

I think voting for locations is about the same... or to help them decide between the top 5 locations in a region... instead of just flipping a coin?

It has a function, just not when in normal operation. Elevators also have a direct-control mode for maintenance and firefighting.

Tesla has opened voting for new Supercharger locations for Q1 2023.

Late last year, Tesla announced that Tesla owners would be able to vote on the placement of new superchargers. And shortly after the poll was opened, thousands of votes for locations worldwide came in. Now, owners will have the same opportunity to vote quarterly this year, with polls opening only a few days ago.

After the first round of voting last year, 5 locations were picked in North America, Europe, and Asia. The top choices were Big Bear Lake, California, for North America, Bolzano, Italy, for Europe, and Haenam, South Korea, for Asia. However, it should be noted that Tesla also continues to build out Supercharger locations outside of those chosen by voting, allowing more rural areas and less traveled places to still receive charging.

This voting system follows some significant building milestones for the Tesla Supercharging network. Towards the end of last year, Tesla announced that it had built its 40,000th supercharger location globally, and shortly thereafter, the automaker opened its first Supercharger location that is open to all vehicles.

Currently, the leaderboard stands with only a few thousand votes for each of the top locations, but this will undoubtedly change in the coming days and weeks.

In North America, the top five locations are:

1. Key West, Florida
2. Destin, Florida
3. Cape Canaveral, Florida
4. Orlando, Florida
5. and Helen, Georgia

In Europe/Middle East, the top five locations are:

1. Muscat, Oman
2. Siofok, Hungary
3. Kecskemet, Hungary
4. Szombathely, Hungary
5. and Bekescsaba, Hungary

In Asia/Pacific, the top five locations are:

1. Matsumoto, Japan
2. Shirahama, Japan
3. Karuizawa, Japan
4. Southern Cross, Australia
5. and Takayama, Japan

If you would like to vote for the next Tesla Supercharger location, you must be a Tesla owner and log in with your Tesla account. From there, you will be allowed to select from a long list of pre-selected locations worldwide. The voting page also gives you the opportunity to suggest a new location for the next voting cycle and even apply to host a Supercharging location if you are the owner of a commercial space.

Hmmm. Weird that there's only one vote for "in front of my house".

the point is “where would you go if you could”

It is exciting to see Coober Pedy(red) as an option. Voted 5th in Au.

Instead of installed superchargers in cities and coastlines so far(green).

I've been there. Spent 15 months in Woomera, played baseball in Port Pirie, and spent a ton of time in Adelaide. Even watched the Crows repeat (I think in 99') as Champs. Pretty sure I still have a Crows beer can somewhere in my boxes of memorabilia.
