The Tesla site shows “coming soon” in 2020 but supercharge.info shows nothing. Does anyone in the area know when the supercharger may be completed? A top off in Springfield will probably be fine for a weekend in Branson, along with possible level 2 public charging, and then hit the supercharger again on the way back to St. Louis.
The coming soon pin means almost nothing other than Tesla eventually plans to install a supercharger somewhere in the rough vicinity of the pin. If you are from the area, the best bet is to look for likely spots and then hunt for permits being issued and/or construction to begin. Look at the types of facilities that have Superchargers in MO. See if there is a common theme. For example, superchargers are often at HyVees or Meijer in the midwest. You too can become a supercharger hunter if you do these things. Everyone who helps curate supercharge.info is active here on TMC. We'll add it when someone finds evidence of a location and either a permit or construction. Remember that there is nothing magical about supercharge.info. It is just the fruits of volunteer crowdsourcing sleuths.
I submitted a request for permit information from the City of Branson and as of this time there are no applications in the works.
Thank you for doing that and then reporting to the community. That's good to know. But as a caution, one should be careful to not read too much into it. Tesla isn't that particular with where they put the grey pins on their map vis-a-vis where the supercharger station actually gets built. The final location is regularly as much as 10 or 15 miles away from the jurisdiction that is marked on their coming soon map. Assuming Tesla is actually working towards a supercharger somewhere in the region around Branson currently, if the location is even 5 feet outside the Branson city limits you wouldn't be able to get any information about it by asking the city. Also, by asking them specifically about building permits you might not get any results for projects in development that haven't gotten to that stage, i.e. still in planning/zoning stages and not yet ready to apply for construction permits.
