Sweet. Wish it had more than 8 stalls, even though it is a V3. The I-35 corridor really gets hammered. This will help.

Oh, right, it's on I-35 as well as US-82.

Density and capacity always welcome, but they really need something else serving I-35 in the OKC area.

No argument from me there . . .

The persistent rumor is a 24 stall setup @ Bass Pro in downtown OKC. No proof or evidence. I search permits weekly.

That would a pretty good location barring any parking issues.

Also there is a Casey's (there are some at Casey's) but it has a very small lot. However, Google Maps satellite appears to show an empty lot behind Casey's and maybe Tesla could figure something out.

The Bass Pro lot is huge and never full. Some park "way" down there for OKC Thunder games. No rumors about any other OKC locations.

Nothing started yet (as of last week), but this one has the potential to have a lot of stalls. Basically, most of the area between the hotel and gas station is a decently sized parking lot. They could easily fit 24 stalls, although I doubt it'll be that big. Time will tell.

No signs of construction

This will be my hometown supercharger when it is live. Great brand new gas station, sadly the BBQ place has changed hands and isn't serving food. The Golden Chick is also up and running inside the store. This used to be a dirt bike test track 5 years ago and a horse stable. Liquor store has a decent selection of local wines if you need to kill some time.

Gainesville does have a new downtown area and I'm surprised they didn't build this at that location, but I can understand in favor for right off the highway.

The liquor store is great and the country roads are amazing anyway you go from here if anyone wants to do a drive from this spot.

I could do a twisty roads drive from here if anyone is interested.

Not sure what you mean, but I see no twisty roads in the vicinity anywhere. As flat and straight as it gets, like Manhattan.

Hit me up when you hit the twisties

I have a really fun route near here. Right now, it starts and ends at the Denton charger. Adding this charger in the mix will allow for more fun.

I stopped and circled the parking lot this morning. Zero activity other than two 18 wheelers parked there.

 

[Guacahummus]

Stopped by but didn't grab pictures since I didn't want to disappoint. I checked out the Fairfield next door just in case the address isn't accurate but there no action there either.

The permit says it is going to be an eight pedestal facility.

 

[Guacahummus]

12 stalls but looks like itll be at the SW part of the property.

OK, I though it was going in the larger area between the Golden Chick and the Fairfield. It's always filled with parked 18 wheelers. This is better in many ways. Thanks! I attached a capture form Google maps for clarity.

Surprising this empty parking lot hasn't been started

With the construction on I-35 and the frontage roads, it would be very hard to get to right now anyway. It's a real mess.
