I vote Burns, OR and Susanville, CA...
Burns/Hines perfectly fits the off-highway and low utilization theme of the last few openings.

Tesla has to keep opening these Magic Dock sites at a minimum of 1 site / 8 pedestals per day until the end of 2024 (next year) if they are going to meet their commitment of 3500 by the end of 2024.

I hope they do.

It's going to be a looong thread if they keep this up.

Oh and in the meantime, the new Tesla supercharger near me has been under construction for two years and has had the pedestals in place for more than a year now, but still no word on when it will be open. (And no Magic Dock installed on this station either.) Tesla originally said "by the end of 2022".

They added another one today, Haubstadt, IN. So the rate is now more than one per day.

Yes, for several days in a row so far. For the previous 6 months, not so much.

But as I said I hope they can keep it up and that this more than just a temporary spurt in deployment. It has to stay this way for another 15 months, each and every day, for Tesla to meet their promise. It has been a very long wait for Tesla to open up their network, and it can't come soon enough.

Looks like a few in Louisiana / Mississippi that will be very welcome to folks traveling along I-20, Vicksburg, MS and Ruston, LA! Apparently the charging situation through that stretch has been awful for CCS cars, so especially Ruston will be a great addition for folks to use. Similarly, Natchitoches, LA will be a welcome addition for folks going from New Orleans/Baton Rouge up to Shreveport and the Dallas area. Looks like they're only showing on supercharge.info and not the official Tesla map so far, but should mean the hardware is at least there.

From PlugShare, here's a Rivian charging with the Magic Dock at the Moab Supercharger on 23 September.

Notice the red sign that says "TESLA vehicle charging only".

Rivian R1T R1S Moab UT - Tesla Supercharger with Magic Dock is up! 1216107

That map was great, thanks for sharing it @sanzco2
Here in California I see two active: Placerville and oddly enough Santa Cruz. I'm guessing these locations are one magic dock charger each. It's going to be interesting, as more and more roll out, what the functional use cases will be. If stations here and there have one dock, you'll presumably have a line around the block of non Tesla users waiting for it. I guess like a line around the block for the one functional EA charger or whatever.
This weekend will be my first ever charge out in the world with a Rivian... camping trip in Mendocino, coming from Marin. There are a smattering of charging options that are all slow and lean... I have many trepidations being spoiled by Tesla network for the past 3 years. I'm planning to drive up to Ukiah to a RAN.

I do think it's more than one dock per station. Might not be all chargers but there have been reports of 4 or so per station.

Those two have been active since March when Tesla rolled out the first 11 sites roughly at the same time. Then two more sites were added over the past 6 months to bring it up to 13. In the past few days they have added another 13.

Grand total is now 26 sites in the US.

PlugShare shows you how many CCS connectors there are. Placerville for example shows all 8 are Magic Dock. Do you have any examples where NOT all of the stations are Magic Dock?

AFAIK the "only a few Magic Dock per site" theory is not something Tesla has said, but is based on guesses people have been making for the past year about how CCS support would roll out at superchargers. I haven't seen any evidence that they are doing this.

No examples, just stuff I've heard but you are probably correct in that all the chargers have CCS connectors.
