    Darn, I was really hoping this would be a second location closer to the I-44/I-49N intersection. This is pretty close to the old one, and I don't think they need the second side for capacity reasons so it's probably just a move.

    That said, the old location isn't getting less creepy, so I'll take it.

    I grew up in Joplin. It's been a while since I've been back so I might have to check this one out eventually. Nice to hear that Kum & Go is also adding locations outside of Colorado!

    It's actually the 24th largest convenience store chain and growing! They have a deal with Tesla and at least 7 Superchargers have been built or are scheduled to be built at Kum & Go locations in Colorado. Besides Superchargers, they are installing CCS at various other locations so they definitely recognize the EV future is coming.

    The thread for the new Joplin Supercharger is Supercharger - Joplin, MO - 5002 S Main St

    The co-founders were Krause and Gentle, and the franchise was given the current name around 1975.

    Hey man! I took grew up in Joplin and moved to Denver area. It's a small town, so I'm curious if we know each other. That being said, another vote for creepiest charger lol. Went back in Nov 2019 after getting my 3 and was freaked out how they let that Holiday Inn go.

    The official Tesla S.C. map doesn't show this. They (recently) list Main St. and Rte. 66, 3.5 miles farther north as their opening Q1 2021 location. Does anyone know the reason for the discrepancy? Not doubting your source, but I don't totally trust Tesla's map either until something officially opens up.

    Tesla’s map just puts a pin on the city. The location is irrelevant.

    Good info. Sure wish Tesla would be more accurate though since it appears confusing.

    They been burnt with permit failure and relocation. Easier to pin the city center then relocate when construction gets close.
