I hope you're right as I expect to be driving by on May 23Welcome to the Tesla family....
I should be driving through this area on May 20th, and if history continues to repeat, that means that this one should be done on May 21st.

Thanks for checking! So it's totally ready to go, just not activated? I will be driving through on Thursday and it would be a great spot to get a charge for me. Hopefully available by then.
I went by today at lunch. Still no power when I tried it, but as I was driving away a KCP&L truck pulled in.
FYI. The meter is set and power is ON at this location. So whenever Tesla is ready this will be operational. No usage is being pulled as of yet. Power was turned on 5/9.
Power is on to the meter but the charge cord handle button doesn't send a signal to open the charge port door. It is very close though.
stopped by today and actually ran in to 3 tesla employees working at the chargers. they said it is very “close” and should be a few days
I was there yesterday while a man from Tesla was there and got a charge. He told me it should be officially open by 6pm today after they clean up the area, powerwash it and get the lights up. He told me it WILL appear on our cars readout of open superchargers right after they get it up. He was going to shut off the juice when he left but keep an eye on your supercharger map.

That odd, because it’s not live according to the in-car navigation or the Tesla web site, at least as of 5 minutes ago.
Not odd at all. After a location gets powered on, it often takes 2 or 3 days for it to show up on the in-car navigation and then up to 2 weeks later it will show on the web map. So there is often a short period where it's capable of supercharging but not listed anywhere.
(Though, I guess one could quibble over word choice and whether it was "officially" open without being listed by Tesla in one of those locations.)
To expand on what @mociaf9 was saying... Often Tesla uses this "unlisted" time to allow the community to further test out a site to make sure everything is working. Then when they've seen enough charges they can make it live on the website and in the cars. I suppose you could say it's a way for them to further ensure that everything is working properly before they open it to the full Tesla fleet.

Shawnee Mission(SM) SC is showing up on my iPhone App but the icon for Overland Park is still showing as gray on the Tesla SC Map. I will check if the SM SC shows up on my Tesla NAV.
