Good that they’re closing the I-26 Gap, but I hope and agree that there will be Superchargers in Clinton (before the split with I-385) and in Spartanburg soon.

Supercharger - Columbia, SC - Harbison Blvd

I think this will be done by end of August at the latest IMO. Most of these installs in the area seem to be around 2 weeks for a transformer to show up after the site is prepped and ready to go, like the new Thomasville, NC SuC for example.
It should be significant relief for Orangeburg, SC. It's a 180 mile gap to Asheville, NC.
But if they also relieved Columbia, SC with somewhere on I-77 like Blythewood, SC or even further north in Richburg, SC, that should take additional load off, whichever part of Ohio the Charleston tourists come from.
Spartanburg, SC would obviously also help. Density spreads the load.

Columbia is becoming big time. This will be our 2nd SuperCharger Station in less than a Year in Columbia and South Carolina has seen a lot of Tesla love this last year. Lets cross our fingers for Spartanburg.

At the confluence of I-26 and I-385 seems like a really good location for a Supercharger for that corridor.
Maybe at the exit with SC Hwy 72!

Just down the freeway at SC-72 exit (only 2.5 miles from the split) has a lot of gas stations and a Hampton Inn. You would think that Hampton Inn would be happy to put it in the back of their parking lot.
Maybe but Tesla really hasn't had any new hotel installs in a long time that I've seen. The gas stations (if not a local business owner) are national chains that don't do business with Tesla currently, like QT or the new 7 Eleven near Newberry. A lot of the local gas stations are also tiny and not really likely to know or care anything about Tesla. I've taken time to peruse these exits many times hunting for new SuC and have always arrived at the same conclusion: convince a local business owner to let you put it in or it's not happening on that stretch of I-26; it's pretty barren. There is hope though as the new Piedmont, SC SuC is a local gas station owner!
I think this site has more than 12 stalls. I count 10 in the photo below (which I think @SouthernEV took) and then at least another 3 on the other side in the next photo below. There could be a few hiding elsewhere also if you look at the parking lot layout.

This is just a few days later. But I stand corrected. It is 16 stalls. The 4th cabinet is hiding behind the other 3.
Agreed it is more than 12, but I’ll leave it until there is a final count.

I'm embarrassed to admit that I got excited when I noticed this thread because I don't often eat fast food but I do love Del Taco, which is on Harbison as well. Any time I come through that area I grab a bite there and this will give me another excuse to stop.

Some more pics from the local Facebook group this morning. Can also see the 4th power cabinet now too.
Confirmed 16 stalls based on my count @Big Earl @corywright

I don't see any provision for a transformer or meter nor cable plant for one to be added. Did it look like they sent cabling over to the substation?
