Has anyone noticed that the Tesla supercharger map now shows a planned second supercharger in Adairsville in its downtown area? I am befuddled about this one.

So I noticed that as well and was wondering if they just messed up and duplicated locations. It seems like that for a bunch of locations if you look around the map.
Don’t know if another Supercharger in the same city is a mistake or intentional, but the specific location of any “coming soon” chargers on the Tesla map is never exact. It’s only an approximation after they determine they would like to add a location in that area.
Of course, a “coming soon” location can be on the Tesla maps for years and never happen….
This new pin is likely for the Buc-ee’s location.
There is another Supercharger coming to Adairsville. The Find Us map places coming soon pins at the center of the name of each city/area - not the exact location. This could end up anywhere with an Adairsville address. Rare exceptions to that are turnpike travel plazas, which will occasionally show up in more precise locations.
Yes, this is Buc-ee’s store #52 that is listed as Calhoun, but has an Adairsville address. This is on the Nov 21 Tesla Partnership list. 601 Union Grove Rd SE, Adairsville, GA 30103

Great info, thanks Audrey.
Once the permit shows up for it, that "Calhoun" site should probably get its own thread here.

Permit?
Construction has already begun! I took this today at Buc-ee’s at 601 Union Grove Rd SE, Adairsville, GA 30103
Looks to be like the Fort Valley GA Buc-ee’s installation. I have more info and photos I can add later.
This site deserves its own thread.

More details:
The site is clearly being prepared for installing pre-fab V3 superchargers. It’s a long section fenced off now, and DH estimates that they have room for 12 chargers.
The site is near the southwest corner of the Buc-ee’s location and this places it quite far away from any fuel pumps. This is next to the pet walk area.
Earth has been removed for a long stretch behind the curb, at a width to accommodate the pre-fab units. There is a large pile of gravel to put in this trench which is typically used as a base for these pre-fab units.
Today a crew were busy relocating the base of a light pole, to accommodate the chargers.
There also appeared to be some forms laid out for later use.
The pre-fab V3 superchargers are not there yet.

I'm not familiar with the location but have friends that live close by. I'll be traveling to Rome, GA in about a month (although this won't be on my route).
Curious for those that know the area, any idea why the second location in Adairsville? The initial location is relatively new, right? Any issues with the first one? Just curious what folk's thoughts were on the rationale behind the second location in a relatively small town.

Increased network capacity. I-75 is a major route in and out of Atlanta, so Tesla probably wants to beef up the infrastructure in order to support non-Tesla EV charging that is coming later this year. The existing 8-stall site in Adairsville isn't enough to keep up with what's coming.
Fair. Just would have thought they'd put more distance between them. Like adding one to Dalton or Cartersville. In CLT they just opened another one just a few miles away from an existing location. It's an upgrade from v2 to v3, but still an odd location to locals. Could have moved east a bit and got different traffic. Why green and not red? Oh well!
I imagine that eventually, Tesla will have Superchargers at every major intersection along beltways like that. It's a matter of finding willing partners and getting building permits lined up, green is probably happening before red for those reasons.
I've notified the locals. This is an extremely popular stop, and we should have eyes on this weekly, if not daily 
Because Buc-ee's is amazing when you are road tripping. In the past, we would typically charge at the Adairsville supercharger, then stop by Buc-ee's even though we were in a Tesla instead of a ICE car. I'm sure we weren't the only ones, and I bet it showed up in the data Tesla gets from the cars. The Tesla/Buc-ee's partnership is a big win for all of us.
Tesla Partnership with Buc-ee's (26 New Locations)
Tesla has entered into a new partnership with Buc-ee's to bring Superchargers to 26 locations across 7 southern states (TX, AL, GA, FL, TN, KY, SC)!! Found the list in the file for the new Buc-ee's Daytona Beach Supercharger. Thanks once again to CODB for f***ing up Tesla's plans to keep the...

Here in NC we have a Sheetz partnership. I love QT. How does Buc-ees compare? Same thing just different market?
Buc-ee's started out in Texas but are expanding. I've never been to a Sheetz but use QT all the time. It appears as though the newer, larger Sheetz locations are about 4,700 square-feet in size. The Calhoun store mentioned in this thread is 53,200 square feet. They're about to open a location in Tennessee that will be more than 74,000 square-feet and have 120 fueling stations.
