For clarity, this is a new SuC across the street from the current one in Iowa that just opened a little while ago.
Tesla has a "Coming Soon" pin for a new SuC in Iowa as well, which in theory would be this one.
I certainly would not expect Tesla to get rid of the first SuC in Iowa they just opened a few months ago. This is likely to add depth to the network as I remember this was hellish area when it was just the 6 stall 150kW Lake Charles location. This is also a small town in the South, so I imagine a SuC generated a lot of interest and questions, so maybe the owner across the street was like "Hey Tesla put one at my gas station too!"

Not only that, but Pilot/Flying J has partnered with EVgo and GM to build out GM's Ultium charging network. This makes me wonder if the permit is really for EVgo but somehow got confused and was listed as a Tesla supercharger. It's very peculiar that Tesla would build another supercharger so close to an existing one, and a new one at that.This would be the 5th or 6th Pilot Flying J with a Supercharger. (Pilot and Flying J are the same company).

Yeah, there was that one viral video of Teslas wrapped around the parking lot at the Lake Charles supercharger. At that time Lake Charles was the only supercharger between Lafayette, LA and Channelview, TX. 5 Supercharger locations in SW Louisiana is overkill especially considering New Orleans still doesn’t have any.Along a 27 mile section, between Sulfur, La and the most eastern Iowa, La site, there are 44! 250 kW chargers either permitted, under construction or open. As much as the area needed additional capacity (someone referenced Lake Charles as hellish - perfect description), I don’t see any good reason to need this many stalls for cars.
Tesla Semi trucks on the other hand….
Could some of these sites be future Megacharger locations for a Semi route along I10? I don’t see any other I10 development like this, so maybe I’m way off base. All these chargers in one short stretch seems really odd.
Amongst all the choices available, Henry’s is the best location by far. It is up and running and complete. It is now my preferred stop along I-10 and I-12 in Louisiana. There are some puzzling things that have happened recently, but we shouldn’t sweat the wishes that never came true.All these Calcasieu Parish permits are getting confusing.
Lowe-grout: Marked as complete,
Original Iowa @ 800 V F Factory Outlet Dr: Opened and dismantled within 7 months. Permit still open
Henrys Travel Plaza: No permit found but built and opened quickly.
Sulphur: VOID from the beginning.

Doesn't give hope for Lowe-grout or Sulphur to be built out.
I haven't seen that this is "void". Still shows on Tesla's coming soon site. Do you have more info?Sulphur: VOID from the beginning.
The Sulphur, LA location about 20 miles west. The permit always had VOID on itI haven't seen that this is "void". Still shows on Tesla's coming soon site. Do you have more info?
Gotcha, thanksThe Sulphur, LA location about 20 miles west. The permit always had VOID on it
