    “Add” is used when they insert a new site into their DB for the first time.

    Yes, it turns out you don’t need to mansplain CRUD to me, nor owning and using a Tesla, because I’m personally familiar with both.

    Since “update” can mean changed status in any direction it’s the least reasonable metric to use, because you’ll also capture closed, permanently closed, permitted, and under construction status updates.

    You also don’t have to mansplain the site since I’ve been using it longer than you’ve been a Tesla fan. After all, you are the one citing Tesla’s Quarterly report’s global number.

    And no, I’m not talking about the destination chargers

    You keep clearly demonstrating that you aren’t reading what I’m writing. And you seem to think you’re telling me something even though you’ve very obviously got things supremely wrong. Again, global figure as one example and now you think I’m talking about Tesla adding destination chargers when what I very clearly said was that the SUPERCHARGER SITE has been planned every since they installed that shitty destination charger.

    Do read the entirety of what I’ve written if you’re going to try to argue against it. This is like for fourth or fifth time you’ve done this.

        I was accused of screwing up my numbers

        To which you responded with global figures. And this is all in service of you claiming new chargers from other brands isn’t going to make an appreciable difference. Really? Then why keep installing new sites if Tesla’s got this done and dusted. Unless, or course, one company won’t be keeping up with dozens or hundreds of companies installing new sites in new locations.

        if we want exact counts

        They have an API. Why would we rely on the map page?

        Here’s the real count: https://supercharge.info/map, Set Country to USA, status to “Open”: 2082 sites

        Again, you’re showing that you don’t even remember your argument at this point, and it’s crazy. You said they opened 1.5 NACS sites per day (in the US). Then you showed GLOBAL figures, and corrected it to 1.4 per day. Now, incredibly, you’re counting all sites found on supercharge.info in the US as though they were all installed in the past year. What are you doing, dude. You very clearly already proved yourself wrong by using global supercharger install figures from the quarterly report and dividing it by (hopefully) 75% of a year. Their global number was less than your swag by about 10%, which would be totally fine I agree. If we were talking about global sites. But since we aren’t, the debate is over.

        Like, this is going to surprise you, I think, but some of us have scripts that pull data from these APIs. You can do the same thing, and collect the stats for yourself over time.

        Practically 90% of their North American deployment is in the US.

        Uh huh. And they’ve been installing them since 2012. So you might be able to see why dividing all north america (or even US) sites by days in THIS YEAR is a problem, I’m sure.

        I’m stating that your usage of the site is incorrect and your understanding of how to query the site is fundamentally flawed. Sorry?

        lmao

        Says the dude using the maps page instead of the open API endpoint they’ve got sitting right there. Kay.

        I’m having a difficult time taking you seriously.

        You’re having a difficult time staying on task. We’re currently talking about how you got charger numbers for 2023 wrong, when the conversation started off with my saying it’s entirely possible that if auto manufacturers saw charger manufacturers deploying Combo 1 connectors, that they’d drop NACS since they only “requirement” to use it is their own press releases saying they’d adopt it in 2025. If chargers start showing up in 2024 with more Combo 1 connectors, it wouldn’t make much sense to switch to NACS instead of offering an adapter for the times you’re stuck using one of Tesla’s sites and you don’t mind financially supporting an antisemite that cavorts with an admitted rapist and alleged sex trafficker online.

        On the other hand, and this is what you could have said many posts ago if you fully read what I wrote, since NACS is an SAE standard at this point and Tesla has no licensing rights to it anymore (not royalty free, but none at all), charger manufacturers could just as easily use it and retrofit their older sites. Then start a nice boutique business offering adapters themselves for anybody with a Combo 1 port on their car currently. Looking at the state of ChaDeMo, though, that seems somewhat unlikely in the near or even medium term.

        If you want to get back to the original point rather than going off on these tangents, we could have had a more interesting conversation.

        You’ve only responded with baseless accusations that I’m grossly incorrect or denial that Tesla can deploy chargers.

        Then why did you correct yourself several times in the comments above? Your global number was 1.4 per day, therefore the US number is necessarily lower than that.

                I’ve restated it several times, and you keep bringing up straw man arguments. Possibly because you skim rather than reading, perhaps because you’re unable to fully grasp what I said. But either way, you’ve demonstrated that you’re hung up on nonsense, so I think it’s best we both move on.
