    IIRC there's a Cheddar's within a short walk. I've never eaten there but it's some type of restaurant chain. But yeah this still holds the top spot on my worst supercharger location list. Maybe Miner, MO will take over once the new Joplin one gets built :)

    Edit to add: Looks like Steak n Shake, Olive Garden, and Outback are a reasonable walking distance as well.

    The supercharger stalls were littered with nails, screws, broken glass, etc. on my one visit there back in 2017. (I've gone out of my way to avoid it ever since). I spent my 30 minute charge trying to clean up the area. I actually did have a tire leak a couple days later. Not sure if I picked up the intrusion there or not.

    I wouldn't count on that. Of all the other sites I've seen where a new "replacement" site pops up, I haven't seen one yet where they close the original site.

    The equipment has been dropped off, and construction is continuing. The white containers had “TESLA ENERGY” emblazoned on the side.

    The charging stands have been raised! Looks like installation of the cabinet has not yet begun.

    There was with the first site as well -- at one time in the past. Hopefully, this new location will fare much better.
