No activity whatsoever. The coffee shop appears to be open and no sign of anything supercharger related.

Maybe we're mistaken that the Supercharger will be located here.

If I were a betting man I'd say this location has been scrapped and they're going to put it somewhere else.

Has anyone found a Supercharger permit for this site? As I recall this site was identified by a Dallas Morning News story about Treehouse.
Nope. Still no sign of any Tesla-related construction.
I've been thinking this is one of many superchargers that got put off during the Model 3 cash crunch, so it might be a few more months before everything stabilizes and we see movement.
As for the building construction at this location, it seems that all the buildings immediately surrounding the supposed location are complete and construction has moved eastward along the strip.

I spoke with an employee at Treehouse to find out when it was supposed to be constructed and he had said "Tesla told us end of summer". Another poster had also called in about the Supercharger to confirm the location. This made it seem that Treehouse was knew that a Supercharger was on the way.
Whether or not this is still the case is a different story. Anyone want to call Treehouse and ask?

Paper City Magazine says there will be “charging spaces for Teslas”. No mention of Superchargers. Dallas Gets an Anti-Mall Shopping Mecca: This New Development Promises to Keep Things Funky - PaperCity Magazine

The way that PaperCity Magazine article was worded does not give me much confidence this will be a Tesla Supercharger location.
To me, it just sounds like they're going off the original Dallas News article for information. It doesn't sound like they know anything new.
I drove by the location today and the lot is fenced off again. It had been unfenced for the past few months and open to the public. Today, there was a backhoe and several workers inside the fence digging in the dirt. I drove by too quickly to get a good look for obvious signs like supercharger crates though, so I'll have to stop by again tomorrow or Monday. Hopefully they aren't fencing the whole thing off just for some tree planting.

Looks like only half the lot is blocked off. I saw a lot of what appears to be underground tubing and a trench dug through that section of the parking lot. Nothing conclusive yet.
Pictures 8 and 9 are the building to the south of the Treehouse and the coffee shop referenced in prior posts, respectively.

I don’t pretend to know what a supercharger buildout looks like, but if I had to guess, it’d be something like those pictures.
It’d be awesome if this comes to fruition, as the 3-4 mph overnight charging I get in my garage occasionally comes up short if on the back of a long trip.

This looks very promising.
Particularly if that transformer is the one that the superchargers will be using. The transformer is usually added last, and can cause serious delays waiting for the local utility to activate it.

Supercharger crates have arrived! This construction is the real deal! This is not a drill! I repeat! This is not a drill!
I saw the crates from up on the freeway, so I turned around at the next exit to get pictures.
I saw 6 Tesla crates and workers working on the northern end of the lot on what appears to be where the electrical equipment will go. They were assembling what I'm assuming to be framing for the concrete. They were much too busy to be bothered by my presence, so I didn't bug them with any questions.
