This SC location still does not appear on the Tesla SC map as a planned location.
Makes me wonder how many other pleasant surprises are out there: SC sites that will pop up unannounced.

It’s been many months since the coming soon map has been updated other than open locations.

I guess that's possible. But it's a stretch to leap over Chester and Marcus Hook, and claim a Philly SC in Claymont.
I think @CHRGIT is right...the map just hasn't been updated yet.
This, then, leads to the next mystery. Where the heck do you put a SC in Philly?
One fairly obvious choice is the old navy base/shipyard. It's right off of 95, but not too heavily populated/tight. There are a few food places there, but not a lot else to do.

I'm expecting the in Phila one will be an Urban SC, and it will be in some parking garage, probably a Parkway one (they dominate), and not a PPA one (too much politics).
Some more pictures, nothing new though.
As for the site, the location is good. Its about as easy to get off and back on as you could hope for. Very busy shopping center though. I went at lunch time on a Monday and it was super crowded. There is a Taco Bell/KFC for food besides Wawa, and the HD to wander around if you are bored.
Its in the best spot for not being ICEd in the wawa lot, its still a small lot though so I would expect it to get ICEed from time to time anyway.
Went by today, 5/14/18. Some good signs. The transformer is now in place. No meter yet. Some workers there working on filling in ditches. Looks like it’s getting close.
I don't think there's much chance of that. They still have the construction fences up and areas that need paving, in addition to whatever electrical work needs finishing.

I mentioned in the Philadelphia Supercharger thread that I am speculating a SC getting put in at the Navy Yard where the new Wawa is going in. Not actually in the yard, but at the corner of 26th and Penrose Ave. This is basically right a the intersection of I-76 and I-95. Plus there has been a TON of utility work lately leading to the site.

Electrical inspections are taking place right now, probably live soon if all goes well and Tesla does their certification soon:
