Should this be marked as a “permit” on supercharge.info when it won’t be open until 2027? Seems like quite jumping of the gun lol.

2027 is right around the corner. 
Honestly, I missed the projected opening date. No real harm in leaving it, other than it resulting in a long permit date in the stats. I’ll confer with the other editors and see what they think.

There is no actual “permit” for this site, just an agreement in theory to build one in 4 years. There will be a ton of red tape before this site ever sees a shovel on the ground. For example, there is also an “agreement” to build a Buc-ees in Anderson, SC right off I-85 by 2025. Not sure that will actually occur by then but it’s been in the news for over a year now. Just my 2 cents. YMMV

Maybe there should be another category for Planned locations, where there isn't an explicit Permit posted?
This "Permit" status location is going to sit for a LONG time.

Supercharge.info admins don't get serious until a site is under construction. In general, they've waited until there was a permit to create a pin but sometimes, sites like this slip through. There would be no appetite for adding another category like "planned." I suspect they will leave this one as a blue dot since it's already created, and Buc-ees has a track record of installing superchargers. There is no real harm in it staying a blue permit for an extended period. Lots of sites have gone through very long permit and construction phases.
No need to delete the thread. It'll be interesting to watch the process unfold. The only real question is whether it'll remain a blue pin on supercharge.info. I suspect it will since it is already there.
We discussed it and feel it’s best to leave the permit pin in place. We’ve also discussed adding another “keep an eye on it” type of pin, but the jury is still out on that. As @theflyer said, things start getting serious when a site is actually under construction.
As for the permit aging date on supercharge.info’s data and charts tabs, we can adjust the permit date when a permit gets issued.

This may help. Marco's post states there is permit filed, although I wasn't able to find it. The drawings do show and state Tesla's scope.
It looks like the land has been purchased, so moving forward.

Buc-ee's seals $6M land deal for first Virginia location in New Kent - Richmond BizSense
The Texas-based chain known for its massive, beaver-logoed convenience stores and gas stations has purchased nearly 28 acres near Interstate 64’s Talleysville exit.

This is greatly needed. Will be a perfect stop after trips to Williamsburg and the beach. If only it didn’t have to take 2 years…It looks like the land has been purchased, so moving forward.

They really need Short Pump, Midlothian, and Brandermill charging in RVA too… as a side note…

Anywhere along I-64 between Richmond and Charlottesville would be welcome.

For what it's worth, this is a great example of a site that merits a "Plan" pin. It'll look like this with the upcoming changes on supercharge.info:
Any chance we can get Rockingham/Mt Crawford Buc-ee's added as a Planned site as well? They do list a 24 stall Telsla SuC site in the initial plans:
