I was driving westbound on the turnpike yesterday and can confirm the Somerset superchargers (I think 6) are installed but still fenced off. Looks like some final paving still needs to be done. Not gonna be long till this one at least is up and running.

Tesla's "find us" map was updated again.
New target opening dates for turnpike:
Allentown service plaza Q1 2022 (delayed)
Jim Thorpe/Hickory Run service plaza Q2 2021 (plausible based on progress)
Elverson/Peter Camiel service plaza Q2 2021 (plausible based on progress)
Denver/Bowmansville service plaza Q3 2021 (plausible based on progress)
Somerset service plaza Q3 (maybe for eastbound; westbound likely Q2)
Hunker/New Stanton service plaza Q1 2022 (delayed)
Verona/Oakmont Plum service plaza Q1 2022 (delayed)
Other PA superchargers:
KoP is now Q3 instead of Q4
Hamburg now Q3 (got my doubts about that)
Monroeville now Q1 2022 (exact location TBA)
New pin for Bartonsville (exact location TBA)
New pin for Erie 2 (exact location TBA)

There's a thread tracking progress at that location: Supercharger - Elverson, PA - Peter J. Camiel Service Plaza
Not turnpike related but Tesla updated the find us map.
PA additions:
Ephrata (Sheetz at 322 and 222 anyone?)
Mansfield (I bet it's at the Sheetz. Route 6 trips just got easier)
Langhorne
North Wales (not news but official)
Anybody got eyes on the Sheetz in Mansfield? Map claims opening Q3 which would suggest construction has begun. If not, I'm going through there on Sept 4.

Map claims Q4 2021. Unless construction has started and no one noticed, I doubt that date.
Checked out both Sheetz and the Wawa in Ephrata: no sighting.

Mansfield is open. Supercharger - Mansfield, PA
I was referring to both Sheetz in / near Ephrata and the Wawa in Akron. I won't be in Mansfield until 9/3.
I didn't get that email. Those superchargers opened in May, July, and December of last year. This is why we follow TMC. If left to Tesla we would never know about new superchargers.
Turnpike project is only about 1/2 done. Allentown (north and south), Oakmont Plum in Verona (eastbound), and New Stanton (westbound) have not even begun construction to my knowledge.

Since Allentown service plaza also disappeared, I assume the Turnpike supercharger project is over for now.
