This is not to say that Tesla is showing stations that don't exist or aren't active, but instead, many stations have sprouted up around the globe and were not showing on the map, while at the same time many of the projections Tesla made in the past for the net new number of Supercharging stations – have failed to be realized.

Overall, it just seemed like the map hadn't been updated/cared for in quite some time.

The good news is, Tesla has now updated the current maps for accuracy (and we no longer have to view the 'planned for 2016' maps that clearly weren't going to happen), these are now referred to as 2017 maps, and at the same time, the company unveiled its "new" 2017 Supercharger expansion plans.
