Yep I hope so. This appears to be the shopping center on the south east corner of bee caves road and 360 where HEB and Chick-Fil-A are at.

Lots and lots of Austin area permits over the last year or so (taps fingers)...but no construction...
Is it gonna take Elon wanting to drive to Taos for a ski weekend for us to get an SC in Lubbock?

Came here to comment on this! Are there
just more permits being spotted because of the interest in Austin because of the Gigafactory? Or is there really a much higher density of superchargers planned?
I don't have the answer but I bet it's a little of both. I remember reading some of Elon's comments or maybe when he was interviewed that the Gigafactory was going to be a destination spot considering it's being built right on the river. I believe between Space X and Giga, there will be many Tesla's in Austin. Right now it's a crap shoot and so hard to get in and out at the one just North of town.

I'd be careful about relying on the sales guys' expertise on Superchargers. In the Northern and Northwest part of the country, they've been shown to be less authoritive than the TMC forums. In other words, we here collectively know more than them. And sales guys can be quite speculative.
And to make a second point, we do have coverage down to SpaceX now... Well, Austin to Brownsville at least. There is believed to be a charger right at SpaceX, but on their property, not open to the public; not likely to change.

More than that. There is a Supercharger at the old Schlitterbahn (now Isla Blanca Beach Park I think), several dest chargers on the same property and multiple dest chargers next door at the Sapphire. They are all hard to find on your own but the car knows the way.
Several Youtubers shoot SpaceX videos from the Sapphire.
No superchargers in downtown. The closest is the main supercharger on I35 but it is terrible. If you need to charge downtown a lot get an Austin EV subscription and use one of the chargers downtown. There are some on electric Avenue.

Plus S. Austin is a supercharging desert. It's really difficult to go to the hill country so having one at the 'Y' is nice for that so you can top up before leaving town.
TDLR TABS - Project Details
Saw this pop up but seems to be filed incorrectly as the address doesn't match by the number nor the zip.

Indeed
7001 is in the middle of nowhere and on North 360 instead if in the middle of a shopping center.
Most optimistic case is that Tesla have decided to start building out from scratch and this is a new location
You never know
