    I stumbled across this months old information when looking for a supercharger in Emeryville:

    I haven't found any online access to building permits, but I sent an e-mail to Public Market management asking if anything came of this.

    Nice find! Too bad the project plan is not online. Until this is confirmed as a Supercharger site and not just a bunch of Destination Chargers (HPCs) I would like to hold off on creating a specific thread for it in the California Supercharger Forum. That said, it likely is a new Supercharger site, but we don’t have confirmation on that yet. Please monitor that project submitted if you can and let us know what you find out. Thanks!

    Don't see any permits yet either, but this was from last month:

    https://www.ci.emeryville.ca.us/ArchiveCenter/ViewFile/Item/3368

    Tesla Supercharging Station, 5959 Shellmound Street. A Minor Design Review application for
    electric vehicle charging stations at the Public Market was submitted on October 24 (pending).

    Nice find! There is a fixed location and a permit application, so I think that is blue dot-worthy at supercharge.info.

    Public market is a good spot for this station in Emeryville.

    According to supercharge.into, the permit for the Emeryville Supercharger is now official.

    Permit status there means "location known, construction hasn't started." There may or may not be an actual permit identified.

    A lot of the status updates on supercharge.info come from the forums here.

    Haven’t seen any posts yet from people who have visited the 5959 Shellmound Street address listed on the permit to check for construction activity.

    Looks to be a good location, near a freeway onramp/offramp.

    Construction is insane here. It's hard to tell where the chargers would be. Security guy mentioned new parking garage, but didn't know if it's the superchargers. Good area getting better.

    The Emeryville possible new supercharger at the Public Market is a good location but it's a narrow space.
    The various parking lots are often full because of the local mall and eateries stores,
    and the Amtrack train station used by commuters going to Sacramento.

    I noticed various comments about new Superchargers located near a Target store.
    There is in fact vacant lot south of the Emeryville Target store, near Best Buy,
    which could be a perfect store for a 20+ supercharger site?

    I was hoping they'd do something with the area between Public Market and Bay Street.

    Yeah I saw that shooting report in the news and was thinking the same thing.

    Note for those not familiar with Emeryville: That's not the location mentioned in the permit (permit application?), which is at the Emeryville Public Market. So far there's no sign that Tesla is going to put a Supercharger anywhere near the Target...that was a fellow forum member's suggestion.

    This was from that article: "Some of the videos showed some spectators hit by the spinning cars but there were no reports of serious injuries. Gunfire was also heard by police but no victims were found." Perhaps they stuffed the bodies in trunks and disposed of them elsewhere. Scary!

    Nice, we stay at the Hyatt House down the street sometimes when we are in the East Bay.

    I'm not sure if you're really serious with that "bodies in trunks" comment, but it's completely possible there were no victims at all. Emeryville may have its problems, but it doesn't need those problems compounded by speculation. (You realize that the two articles were describing two different incidents, right?)
