Remember the permits arent announced by Tesla. They are discovered by people. Just this week the permit in Minor, MO was discovered and a day or two later the construction began. That means the permit was in process for awhile before it was discovered. Pearl, MS is another example. It was never discovered during permitting or construction. Wasnt discovered until it was construction complete.

When I look at Tesla's supercharger map, I sure see Arkansas filling in 2016. Hopefully, it will happen. Supercharger | Tesla
The Supercharger map is sort of like the Pirate Code: more like guidelines than plans.

I have some great news. I sent an e-mail to Supercharger at Tesla.com and got the following response:

Hi Ray,
Thank you for your email. We are in the final stages on construction for our Little Rock Supercharger Station, and we are certainly committed to establishing the network throughout the state. There are a number of scenarios that can affect the timeline for a new site, so we cannot make guarantees about opening dates, but we are working hard to open as many sites as quickly as we can. We understand the need for more Superchargers, especially in Arkansas, and we are excited to announce new sites on our website.
If you have specific property suggestions elsewhere in Arkansas, please submit the information directly to our Developer Team here. We use precise energy modeling to determine areas that are candidates for Superchargers and will reach out to you or the property owner via email if the site fits well with our route plan.
Keep checking our website for new site announcements; we appreciate your enthusiasm and support in Tesla and our Supercharger technology.
Thank you,
The Tesla Supercharger Team

Yep, Arkansas is surely on the horizon.
Hopefully more locations than just Little Rock...
And be sure to add Texarkana into the mix, too.

What a different a preposition makes.
I took it to mean that they'll have the construction beginning soon. From Tesla's point of view there's a lot of paperwork and contracts to sort out before construction can begin so I'd think they'd see the actual construction as the easy bit.
In the past when Tesla has volunteered that a station was under construction (much less the "final stages"), that has meant that the station was basically done and very near to opening. If they haven't started construction they say something like "nearing the construction phase". I would expect the station to be open within a week, but we'll see what happens.

I ran across this curious post on the web site of the Hot Springs Mall from November 26th 2016:
I sent an e-mail to mall management for clarification - does anyone here know what this might be referring to or if maybe it's just wildly wrong?
