So I was doing a little hunting in the local online permit search to see what I could find out about the new Tampa service/delivery center and I stumbled on a bit of a surprise. I found a permit for a new supercharger in Tampa which as far as I can tell has not been noted before and is not consistent with any of the upcoming sites on the Tesla Find Us page. I took a drive by there tonight hoping to see some preliminary construction but sure enough it's a nearly finished 8 stall supercharger. Charging stalls are completed with supercharger cabinets in place. I didn't look too closely but I did not yet see a transformer. This location is just off I-4 about 3 miles east of the I-4/I-275 junction and near downtown Tampa and Ybor City. Its very easy on and off so should be a good site for anyone driving through Tampa on I-4 or I-275. What i found really interesting was that this was not on the pending sites on Tesla's map. The closest future supercharger listed is Tampa-Hyde Park by the end of 2018 which is a very different location from this (more suitable for a future urban supercharger). Could we see more superchargers popping up than we are expecting?
