Does anyone have an update on the I-35 Supercharger installation slated for 2017 in Bethany, MO? At 400 wh/mile, it is a long stretch for me between Independence, MO and West Des Moines, IA.

In June 2017, I had tracked down an e-mail address for the Building Inspector in Bethany, MO. He's also the fire Chief and Code Enforcement Officer since it's a small city and had checked with the City Administrator on my initial request. At that time, he let me know that they had not been contacted by Tesla yet and that their building permits were not available on the Internet. I sent a followup e-mail in mid-November to ask if there was any change in the status, but didn't receive a response.
If there's any indication of progress other than the "coming soon" on Tesla's Find Us page that has been there for 8 months, I'll try getting an update. I definitely don't want to be a nuisance to some guy in a small town that happened to have Tesla flag on their map as Coming Soon/Whenever.

Larry, the project isn’t just starting, it’s nearly finished. The City’s involvement just hasn’t been needed until now --- just fyi.

I just drove all around both Bethany exits and I didn't see anything that looked like actual construction for supercharger stations. I will look again when I'm back through in April.
