I would say thats probably true. When I was there the power conduits were sticking out of the ground behind the station, so they still have at least a few weeks to go I would say.not optimistic that this site will be operational for Thanksgiving... will have to stay on 35 on the way down to SA...

There are plenty of Supercharger sites that are being driven from the host site side (e.g. in my area Sheetz, Smithfields, Wawa) that is wanting to be proactive in getting in on the charging game versus the Tesla site showing the ones that Tesla is specifically targeting to fill gaps and it's the Tesla team that is going out and seeking hosts. The former just show up as a surprise one day, while the latter are the ones on the official Tesla map.
The reason the location is different is that the Tesla map simply puts the pin in the "official" city location (usually near the city center; or wherever whatever mapping site you use will show you if you just type in the city name without an address) until the site is actually open. So yes, for coming soon sites on the Tesla map, the location is never accurate.

Now we just need these going up and down 281 for those of us who want to do DFW-SAT and bypass AUS and not have to take 130.
Got a good feeling Giga Texas will result in California-like SC coverage..

Agree... I typically dive over at Waco to take 84 over to 281 when I had an ICE car
Not live yet, but very very soon. I’ve got the big scissors and red ribbon ready!

It looks very close to ready today. I can see some cables are not connected but the transformer is on site and everything looks mostly buttoned-up. It's on the northbound side of the highway. There's a subway very close by.

This is great, they must have put a rush on this one. It's also an outstanding opportunity for someone to put in a Whataburger, McDonalds, or something else to serve this supercharger. Aside from the brewery downtown, theres not a whole lot else in Johnson City.
We’re in Gruene today and noticed that it was showing on the nav. My guess is it is working as the available stall count keeps changing.

I can verify that the car says it is online. I’ll be there in about an hour and a half.Can any locals verify this?
